Sep 3 2010These Beats Are So Fresh!: 8-Bit Mixtape
Note: Video is after the jump because these beats are so fresh they'd make the front page look rotten.
This is a little composition by Eclectic Method appropriately titled '8-Bit Mixtape'. It's basically a bunch of beats and audio effects from old video games strung together in a way that sounds like bumpin' music. The whole thing's surprisingly good but the Tetris part is by far the best so if you disagree you and I will be taking this outside and I will be dropping you on the curb like a garbage bag full of Play-Doh. See, what I'm gonna do is fake with the right, then come in with a left hook that'll make you say 'Oh golly, not right in the temple!" Thing is, it's gonna be. Right. In. The. Temple. Of your doom. See what I did there? Hold on, hold on -- one last crusade.
Hit the jump for the it's probably not for everyone.

that was pretty good, I liked it,
The artist LukHash did this a while ago, He did a full CD of songs like this, Rock songs, all his CD's are for free,
He combined the guitar with the 8-Bit sounds, and made songs like that, you should check it out:

The best part of the beginning which was taken from the castle music in Super Mario Bros. on the snes. Good music.

Great song - loved it so much I even listened to it twice.
Oh yeh, and "that guy," as you so lovingly put it, is Biggie Smalls! And in now way did his vocals ruin the track...they mearly enhanced it, like adding baby oil to an all girl wrestling match!
Don't hate - appreciate!

@16 "8-bit music" refers to the type of sounds and music used in pre-fifth generation consoles. It is a catch-all saying that simply refers to an era of sound.
Someone didn't do their Daft Punk's HOMEWORK.
25. DH - September 6, 2010 2:25 PM
also, the first song was some brilliant dirty dub.
all good stuff though (could have dropped the biggie sample).

cool, now everyone google "nerdcore" and "chiptune" and find out that this shit has been around for a while now.
...though not all of it is good
