Jay-Z and 'Chrono Trigger' together at last in 'Chrono Jigga' Album

I'm only 4 songs in, but it seems very hit-or-miss. I actually really like 4 and 5, but the first 3 songs weren't very good and a horrible idea to open it up with.

And 6, Masamune Problems. Jesus. JESUS. HE KILLED FROG'S THEME SOMEONE PLEASE ARREST THIS MAN.

Edit: 9. Wind Cry is amazing. Might just be my nostalgia kicking in, but I doubt it.
 
It's weird, there's something I really like about rappers on top of video game music. Somehow the juxtaposition really works for me. Kinda feels like an extension of jazz-hop.
 
Wiz actually has two entirely different songs with Chrono samples right? One with Schala's theme and EDIT: the other one everyone's linking here.

Surprised no one has posted Ice Box yet, I remember that was the era when Timbo had run out of Arab singers to steal from haha.
 
There was a Chrono Trigger Mixtape a while ago released under the name DJ Epoch that was rap mashed with the CT soundtrack.

It's since been taken offline, but you can find it if you look hard enough. Some mixes are on Youtube I believe.

Cool idea, but it's kinda spotty that this guy is earning money off this. I'm pretty sure none of the original content creators are getting a dime from this.
 
Why is it always Jay z? I guess the black album can literally mash with anything.

He's got the most mainstream appeal and doesn't have an odd flow or a lot of change ups so it works for both exposure and ease of mix. That's what makes Ocarina of Rhyme so special.. the rappers used on that mixtape run the gamut and it's pretty amazing that he got the mixes down so solid.
 
Ok... went back and hit play again since I still had the window open, resuming from 21 sec where I left off...

...this is admittedly pretty awesome. I think hearing his voice jump in was just initially really shocking.

This is not bad at all. Some of the Chrono Trigger remixes are pretty neat, if he put some more work into them he could release a pretty good instrumental version of this.
 
There was another Chrono Trigger rap mixtape a while back, but I forgot the title.
