Let Me Introduce You to the Ocarina of Rhyme
Holy crap, I didn’t think Googling “Zelda ghetto” would turn up anything, much less an image as cool as this. And it’s the perfect way to open up what you’re about the experience with the Ocarina of Rhyme.
It was introduced to me by a reader when I posted this Kirby/Snoop Dogg mash-up, and my eyes were opened that the concept of mixing rap and video game tracks was not a new one.
It was created by Team Teamwork (great name), and I’ve posted the best tracks I can find from it below, which may in fact be all of them. If this doesn’t help you rock out during your school or work day, I’m not sure what will.
Busta Rhymes – Don’t Touch Me (Gerudo Valley)
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg – Still D.R.E (Getting Treasure)
MF Doom – Vomit (Lon Lon Ranch)
Common – I Used to Love H.E.R. (Hyrule Market)
Aesop Rock – Jumper Cables (Goron Village)
Clipse – Virginia (Lost Woods)
Slim Thug and Mikes Jones – Still Tippin’ (Great Fairy’s Fountain)
Jay-Z – No Hook (Meeting the Owl)
Spank Rock – IMC (Zora’s Domain)

im actually thinking of buying a DS just to play ocarina of time
i have been listening to this for the past couple of months and this is so awesome my tiny brain cannot comprehend it
and you posted all of the songs, not just the best ones.
if anyone is interested in downloading the songs, team teamwork still has a download link on their own awesomely designed website (google it)
That’s awesome! My favorite two are the Jay-Z and Clipse songs. The whole album though gets me through boring days.
As for other mash-ups (not as much gaming ones but still great songs) you should check out Bootie Blog if you haven’t yet: http://bootiemashup.com/blog/
