I want to create a hip hop RPG with all these famous rappers, kind of like Kanye Quest 3030 except actually good and not terrible and repetitive.

Edit: That was so messy post.
Just let me meet and hear some oldschoolers. I want my Sugarhill, FF, Africa, Eazy and Wu.

I don't know how the source material would translate into anything but a comedy game.
A lot of this is raw emotions the likes of which I don't think 2d can handle.

Then again, I've never really thought any gangster/rapper game was all that good or could even be taken seriously.
Like, their lives are already an action-packed video game. And I know first hand because I used to be very close to a rapper and his "gang"

Well, comedy games can be somewhat serious too. Like, less a parody and more a loving homage to the genre of music that gave so much. I think people just want to see all their favourite artists.

Also raw emotions have been handled in 2d before. You just need to go full Calunio. Lol.

You speak truth! especially if the focus was the music and handled well I think it could be something pretty nifty.

That damn Calunio can make my jaw drop with 2d...

It could be something like San Andreas 2d with permanent Hot Coffee mode! Rap can't be taken overly seriously. It needs its portion of cheese. Look at Menace 2 Society, It's all serious and pathetic and doesn't work as good as some lighter films such as Friday or Boyz In Da Hood. I know, Boyz are serious in terms of message. The thing which makes them better than Menace is the way they work with atmosphere.

This is damn good 8-bit California Love, btw.
