Great list cp3
I got one of these in my back pocket that I haven’t gotten around to sampling….and refuse to share.
It’s a sega game
i hate to be THAT guy but….
You messed up, son.
Not only has Castlevania been sampled, it’s the title of the U-N-I song that sampled it.
Other than that, great write-up. It’s all love.
*prays my videogame soundtrack knowledge holds up*
how could you say ANYBODY other than charles hamilton should rap over the sonic joint??? #CMONSON
^^^^
cuz Charles Hamilton is a fucking irrelevant dweeb now, that’s why.
haha. props though on the write up. being an avid video game nerd myself….I spazzed out when Wiz Khalifa sampled Chrono Trigger on one of the cuts on Kush and OJ (Never Been – Schala’s Theme).
more dope vid game write ups please!!!! cuz then that’ll make TSS my premier destination for ev-er-y-thing #kattwilliams.
theres a few of these ive personally sampled.
a few that this list missed that im up on too. :)

Team Teamwork put together a mixtape called the “Ocarina of Rhyme” with nothing but music from Zelda made into beats with verses dubbed into them.
Ironically, the Fairy Mountain theme is the hardest one…
Sorry to Hijack this thread, but I just wanna say Liverpool FC for life!
Screw your Texas Courthouses, Texas Outhouses, Texas Judges and your so called temporary injunctions, we won, simple and plain.
Goodbye Hicks and Gillett, don’t ever come, you will not be missed.
To any Boston Red Sox heads on here, big up your rad self, looks like we’re in similar company now. :)
Liverpool FC, new era, let’s start today! YNWA!
No Gradius?
Good selection of artist for the tracks. I kinda feel like Nas has been rhyming on Streets or Rage-esc beats his whole career.lol
but no Street Fighter love, my dude? Some could make a nice one from that old Blanka stage beat.

Cam using FF7 One Winged Angel in a song > Shinra’s Theme. Real talk tho if I heard niggas flowing over some FF7 Boss Battle Themes and World Map theme, that shit would be sweet.
This post is a giant nerdgasm. Check this out.
Kool G. Rap and Prinz- We G’s (Anyone familiar with Final Fantasy 7 will recognize the sample)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4IN6aatorA
That CuDi pick was spot on. Like should be on the next album, spot on.
I think City of the Ancients from FFVII should be sampled too.
This post is a giant nerdgasm. Check this out.

Yea I know right.
Kid Cudi just HAS to spit(sing?) over that beat! damn.
Streets of Rage and Sonic’s soundtracks were really products of the ’90s. You could tell the producers were influenced by house tracks (Technotronic, Jungle Brothers) and pop/urban music (New Jack Swing, Michael Jackson) that was poppin’ at the time.
And like TC said that KiD CuDi pick was spot on. I could imagine him doing a song to a beat like that. Good post sir.
And the award for post of the year goes to…
@Tommy_Blanco
*Downloads track. Uses that as new battle theme in FF7*
Final Fantasy X, the opening of the battle against Sin…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAAfQkSUb90
I could picture Twista or Tech N9ne over something like this.
this post just wins…I’ve fooled around with sampling some of the songs you posted like that shinra one…check out this beat I made from sampling earthbound put to the still dre acapella
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnZgfHQVLWQ
BTW, didn’t Wiz already sample the Green Hills Zone theme from Sonic?
Fabolous – I Think Y’all Know mixed with a them from Rival Schools, old school PS fighting game.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BprxVUPHIc4
Check out the rest of this guys videos, he’s mixed sooooooo many classic VG themes with artists like MJ, Snoop and Ice Cube.
Besides Sonic, Metal Gear Solid, and Castlevania, I can not agree with this list. How are no Zelda tracks on this list? Bah, I can respect where the writer is coming from. I still say the games with the best OSTs of all time are the Jet Grind Radio series of games.
1.) Ya’ll are nerds
2.) Kanye sampled FFVII for “Coldest Winter.”
3.) Zerg theme from original Starcraft.
Good post! That shinra joint needs little twerkin. I bet it has/will be flipped. When it does, it will (hopefully) see the playlist.
awesome post.. that cudi pick is ridiculous.. all that track needs is him on it..
annnnd my boy sampled that streets of rage theme a couple years back.. wish i could find the mp3 now to post it up .__.
MGS Snake Eater has already been remixed:
Joker – Snake Eater…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RadZTuZEKlM
THATS AMAZING /\/\/\/\/\/\
im goin seein joker on tues YA DUN KNO
That Shinra song from Final Fantasy ripped the theme music from the Arnold Swartzenegger flick “The Running Man” I wonder if anybody else remembers that damn music. Its too close to call a coincidence.
I think Cam’ron’s sampled the sephiroth theme in a Troublemakers w/ 40 cal
Don’t know if it should be sampled per se, but I remember having teenage cyphers over this beat from Golden Eye 007
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBD-UKhhg8I&feature=related
We also got down on the pause menu track.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2FqA5cZP_8
Those were the days, when to be 14 meant to dream of being of being the dopest rapper ever, hahaha.
I totally thought that “final fantasy 7 victory fanfare” would be up instead of the Shinra theme. the shit would make for a banger!

Yessssir. Off Flight School, Ms. Rightfernow.
Super Adventure Island…the Water board (level 3 I think). Composed by Yuzo Koshiro. He is known mostly for his work in the Streets of Rage series. This soundtrack was done in late 1991, a few months before this game’s release…Essential Vitamins (1992) is the name of the track.

this is interesting timing as ive been on the hunt for the perfect 8 bit sample for the past two weeks, also been experimenting with 8 bit synths on the keyboard. I learned to play Zelda and the Mario theme on keyboard recently and tried to “chop” up the zelda one into my own interpretation recently but it didnt come out so hot. The final fantasy series has a lot gems. There was an underground NC album by The Nobodies in 2000 that sampled the intro to Final Fantasy Seven and even chopped up the sound the playstation 1 made when you turned it on
great line up
Chrono Trigger and Dragon Ball Z has some dope noteworthy samples. Ol’ Famicom/SNES days..
Chrono Trigger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ElH_eH171U
DBZ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe1BBEDD4IA
U-N-I “Castlevania” Link…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ftPdyq_Yro
You’re welcome.
Sample all the music from FF VII you want but leave this song alone. Perfection cannot be improved upon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv8QTiqruCs&p=90328EF4A8A04BE7&playnext=1&index=37
Cool idea. I’d throw in some Mega Man songs and maybe even a little Tecmo Super Bowl. And the original Tetris for Nintendo, why not?
Wait, Kanye sampled FFVII on “coldest winter” – what song did he sample?
team teamwork already did vinyl fantasy 7 as well:
http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/31/vinyl-fantasy-7-is-the-freshest-thing-youll-hear-today/
Great post! Kid Cudi all day on that track or maybe even Devin the Dude.
i skipped ALL the songs just cuz i knew a ffvii theme would be on this list lol
For The Record I Did The Sonic Joint Also Produced By Me http://usershare.net/bjbjderf7v5o or just Google G-Scott: Sky Life
spyhunter would be the only one i wouldnt sht on…. maybe better in a reggae song
maybe spider man from atari 2600… actually sounds like the tune of “Wankster” now that i think about it.
.. that god of war one above was aight….
it all just sounds to clownish….. the only thing ive ever heard from a video game that sounded cool was the sample from XMEN… Nicole Ray used Apocalypse’s battle cry in the beat.
Smiff and Wessin did this before and it was wack, that mario beat….
god of war got coka nostra written all over it
