We all know that gaming and hip-hop are two distinct forces that have dominated youth culture for decades now. The connections between the two might not be super obvious, but if you look or listen closely, they collide with sonic bliss. 

Back in 2001, N.E.R.D’s debut album featured Shae Woodley holding a Playstation controller on the cover. T-Pain once said that gaming helped him write songs. Post Malone is a well-documented Call of Duty player, and Tyler, the Creator voiced a character in Grand Theft Auto V' something that many fans didn’t pick up on until years after the game’s release. 

In recent years hip-hop and gaming’s connections have grown even tighter, with artists incorporating samples and FX right into their music. Some might be apparent, while others are so seamlessly woven in, you may not have noticed. We put together a collection of tracks that pay homage to classic video games.
