Sometimes we forget (sometimes on purpose) that our southern hemisphere brethren have got some good weather going on while we have to sit here freezing our (Insert body part here) off. Because of this, we have to try to get artificially summery to give you all videos that remind us of the summer. So all the winter crew have a respite from all the depressing winteriness that has invaded our lives, and all you summer crew have a soundtrack to accompany the shining sun.
Straight to the point… Update details… HO!

Although Nas, Xzibit and Outkast have released some great material, I wouldn’t exactly brand them as being classic Hip-Hop artists. The playlist title is quite misleading, as it seems to primarily feature tracks from the ‘noughties’. One would assume that by ‘Hip-Hop Classics’, there would be tracks from artists such as NWA, Big Pun, early Snoop, Beastie Boys, etc. The real classics from the 90s.
Anyway, aside from that, it’s great to see the continuous support for VidZone. It’s such a great addition to the PSN, and I’m looking forward to seeing future updates! Good job, guys.

Hey Guys
We are a little late on the update this week due to some bugs in the system (not actual bugs… Our office is fairly insect free…)

Sorry about that…

meeh why add more rap? i listen mostly to rap and reggae but with every second word missing in the rap just disturbs the flow and ain’t no fun to listen to really…

i mean, i’d rather listen to my albums with the same tunes but with no missing words in the lyrics. either bring the explicit versions which are avail to any 12year old wannabe badass b-boy in any record store or on youtube or whatever… or just make parental control or something, if yo be into rap you would know how annoying this is

I agree with ikooR. Why are all the (explicit) videos edited? Makes no sense. Either put them up unedited or don’t put them up at all. It really takes out the joy listening to some tracks.
I’d rather go to YouTube, then watch them on VidZone.

I very much would like for You to fill out the gaps. You promised some “Nephew” videos when starting in Denmark, but there aren’t any video in the folder.
Another thing that’s come to my attention is the fact, that a lot of artists pop 2 or 3 times in diffenret spellings. Can’t You take a serious time of spring cleaning in the coming months ?
And yes…..more 80′s rock; Twisted Sister, Poison and such
Other than that; Keep up the good work. Love the stuff.
