The 6 worst video game samples in rap music

Eminem's done some terrible things for money. He's sued his own mother, written unsavoury rap fantasies about killing his own wife and -- before he was famous -- even slummed it as a short-order chef, cooking burgers and washing dishes for $5.50 an hour. We can forgive all that, but our affection for the Detroit MC was seriously tested with Hellbound, an unofficially released mixtape travesty inspired by a Dreamcast game.

Sacrifice, Soul Calibur, Dreamcast

Memorable line
"Blow you to fragments, laugh, roll you and smoke the ashes."

Is it any good?
Hellbound is hardly Shady's best work, but Mr Mathers somehow gets away with this, thanks to a tongue-twisting array of rhymes within rhymes, and his usual spectacular wordplay. The fact he's gone on to sell more than 80 million albums worldwide since this track seems to prove it wasn't too bad a move on his part. We'll let this one slide Marshall, but thank your lucky stars you can actually rap.
