Rap Jam, Volume 1

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Rap Jam, Volume 1
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Mandingo/Motown
RELEASED:         1995
TYPE:             Sports (basketball)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Hip-hop soundtracked street basketball with teams drawn
                  from synergy-minded rhymers like Public Enemy, Queen
                  Latifah, Warren G, Onyx, and Naughty By Nature.  Only the
                  Genesis version features NWA founder Eazy-E, whose own
                  gangsta-flavored game, Hittin' Switchez, was also
                  scheduled for release shortly before his premature death
                  in 1995. (Entertainment Weekly)

IMPRESSIONS:      My opinion is based on the SNES cart, as that's the only
                  version I have right now, so here goes.  It's an
                  unsuccessful attempt to graft together Jammit and NBA Jam
                  with a little YACEG frosting on top.  In other words,
                  it's a complete waste of silicon and plastic.

Pimp Daddy Has F'n Spoken:

Yeah, the concept of the game sounds hot, play as rappers? Well, let me kill a couple quick dreams real quick:

#1. This game was scheduled to release for the Sega Geneis but had its distribution contract cut before launch.

#2. The game absolutely sucks.

I've got it for the SNES, and like I said, concept is cool and all, but the fact of the matter is is that the gameplay is extremely slow, disfunctional, and the graphics suck.

Sound effects? Let's just say there's 3 seperate sounds you'll hear through-out the entire game, and those sounds are annoying at that.

Don't cry that it's not out on the Genesis, you're not missing out on shit.
