I never thought to myself, “hey, what might Kanye West’s music sound like if it was the soundtrack to Mario Brothers or Contra”. But after hearing Brooklyn producer Tugboat recreate famous hip hop songs in 8-bit style, I wish all my games came with a soundtrack like this.

If you want to download the full album, go checkout the original post at Metal Lungies. I think what Tugboat did by creating this quick album is incredibly smart. He now is known for creating something ingenious and totally unique. With just a little recognition like this, he has a platform in which to market himself.
