Def Jam Rapstar is getting closer and closer to finishing up in time for their October 5th release date. Def Jam has just announced that a whole new roster of artists and producers will be featured in the game. Kotaku reports that Rapstar will include more than 40 songs and a number of producers with the producers providing instrumental beats for the game’s freestyle mode.

New additions include:

-A Tribe Called Quest’s Scenario
-Big Pun featuring Joe with Still Not A Player
-Jim Jones’ We Fly High
-LL Cool J’s Mama Said Knock You Out
-Ludacris’ Stand Up
-Onyx’s Slam
-RUN DMC’s Run’s House.

New producers confirmed are Cool & Dre’s Epidemic and DJ Khalil’s The Good Doctor. All in all, from a music choice these are great songs to rap/Karaoke to but the question is are these music rhythm based games over and done with already?
