This rap inspired me to get the game...and it was pretty good! Maybe a little one-shot but it was a nice blend of film noir mystery and supernatural thriller.
Honestly, I don't understand why companies do not hire you to make original soundtracks to promote their games. This song made me genuinely interested in this game i've never even heard about.
+RosarioMetsFan I have somehow missed this one and a few minutes ago I finished the game and came straight here to check if Dan had a rap about it. I really liked the song, but the game was simply beyond amazing. I'm a sucker for mysteries with great atmosphere and a clever plot.
ive completed this game fully, and i never knew the town was called salem side note:some computers in the police office part show the main screen of Deux Ex, seriously have a look
xET3RNALx xEVOx Buddy, did you not pay attention to the scenery or read the town history? It was freaking obvious that it was Salem if you were paying attention!
This is the style of Dan Bull I like. Throwing it back like a bawss! Not that I have a problem with the faster, adrenaline-inducing style, it's just not my cup of tea. Props Dan, props to you.
Dan, you are an inspiration to us all, and you show that asperger's isn't a flaw that holds you down like I think about myself. Keep up the good work. :P
I actually found this after the game because at this point I’m sifting around the Internet for some quality content. I’m gonna have this stuck in my head forever now.
Same. The game is terrible, but what's great about Dan's raps is that they can completely turn around a bad game with a good concept and make an amazing rap. And this is one of the best raps I know, it's brilliant.
Crypt of the Necrodancer rap. It needs to happen. It's begging to happen. The whole game would go to waste if it didn't happen. Make the rap and then play a level using the rap for the music video. Fucking amazing.
it's good that your rapping about things that you like because it is so much better than if the game producers were paying you to do it. it's like in school if you want to do something then you try really hard but if you don't it ends up shit

They need to make another murder game maybe in one where you aren’t dead but your friend is and it starts with you not knowing but getting wierd kings like you get a hunch or you I don’t know it would be cool

Sweet rap, Very chill and mellow - and I think it fits the Game. Though I've never personally been the one to play it. Keep up the good work - Should go back and do some Dragon Age raps, with Inquisition on the inbound tides.
RealityCheck1993 Execution, contrary to what you were told, wasn't bad either. One touch I liked was how the memories of old places kept blocking your path (you even deal with a constantly re-running train at one point!) and the degradation of being a ghost drives you clinically insane after a certain point.
Destiny is the most unoriginal game ever made. Please Dan don't make a rap for it at all. What he should do is remake the last of us one cuz it was to weak for how good of a game it was.
Dan Bull If you do, will you make as a kind of sequel to your Civ 5 rap? The Civ 5 one was actually my favourite rap, because you didn't just talk about the game, you were talking about human history. Whatever you want to do, I wish you all the best luck in life.
Dan Bull I just wanna let you know you are awesome. No time to write a full comment about it know so it's just this. I write raps myself and you are an inspiration, so thank you for that :)
Dan I love your work and I think a Portal 1 or two rap would be amazing. It could even have an electronic beat! Just giving ideas, I know you can do something amazing with this. Maybe some Cave Johnson dialog? GlaDos? Probably not Chell haha. Thanks!
I fucking loved this game, I kept failing the last mission because I stupidly kept making the same mistake like 'why isn't this working?! What am I supposed to do?!'
Soon will be released one of the biggest event in Payday 2. It'll be cool to hear Dan's rap about this. Anyway, this is my hope, maybe he consider this. This song is really good. I almost stopped listening radio stations after I found Dan in the depths of youtube.
I feel the problem with the game was the monsters and enemies. I'd have liked it more if it was purely about solving crimes. Kinda the opposite to how I felt in LA noire where I enjoyed messing around in the world over the crimes. Its interesting to see a game that does history well like it did. I loved soaking in all the details of the era.
This rap inspired me to get the game...and it was pretty good! Maybe a little one-shot but it was a nice blend of film noir mystery and supernatural thriller.
Honestly, I don't understand why companies do not hire you to make original soundtracks to promote their games. This song made me genuinely interested in this game i've never even heard about.
The instrumental used is amazing.....
I gotta tell ya bro - I now pick what games I'm going to play next based off your raps. Thanks for that! These all rock.
AWESOME!
Am I the only one who thought the story was kinda intriguing? :S
yup
zagonormus k
Not really.
This is actually the first time im interested in playing this game, so I guess not.
It was a good story and concept, it was just executed poorly
I just realised how much I've been missing this style of rapping from you...
Fantastic song, looking forward to the new album! ^_^
Man I wish this game got a sequel
@Not PC new murder of someone else
This made me buy the game
+RosarioMetsFan I have somehow missed this one and a few minutes ago I finished the game and came straight here to check if Dan had a rap about it. I really liked the song, but the game was simply beyond amazing. I'm a sucker for mysteries with great atmosphere and a clever plot.
good for you
guess what im about to do
Sir Chris Buy the game?
Is it good?
ive completed this game fully, and i never knew the town was called salem
side note:some computers in the police office part show the main screen of Deux Ex, seriously have a look
xET3RNALx xEVOx Buddy, did you not pay attention to the scenery or read the town history? It was freaking obvious that it was Salem if you were paying attention!

This man makes better ads for games than any money can buy. Genuinely great song and made me buy the game to try it cuz it seemed super cool.
This reminds me of the wolf among us rap for some reason.
Sounds like the same guy sang it.
Rudraj Koppikar If you mean dan Bull. then yeah.
Joke>.......................
Your head:
here:........................
k
Yeah it's because it has the same mysterious feel to it like the other rap.
constantly playing this song in my head got me through work this week.
I know it's been five years and this is a rap about an okay video game but still listening.
Awesome Dan, keep it up with the awesome raps, we'll also be waiting for your album! :D
Dan, you are an inspiration to us all, and you show that asperger's isn't a flaw that holds you down like I think about myself. Keep up the good work. :P
I remember when this first came out, beat is so damn good 👌
Dude, your songs have pushed me so many times to want to buy games. Definitely gonna buy this song.
Really nice rap!!!! Love the piano riff in the backgorund!
Wow as soon as he uploads i'm here.
Same
Yep me too :)
same
me 2
Lovely im not the only one
You have no idea how happy the fact that you made a rap for this game made me.
Last 10 seconds are sick,make a whole song with beat/flow like that
One of your best raps, Dan!
i loved this game when i first played it
I actually found this after the game because at this point I’m sifting around the Internet for some quality content. I’m gonna have this stuck in my head forever now.
Honestly, a show based on this game would do pretty well if done right
This game was a great purchase, and this was a great find years later
This was so good in my opinion one of your best :)
Always look forward to your videos!
Love the Raps, this one was pretty good, i loved the daggarfall rap for elder scrolls online
this is literally such a banger.
gets better and better after each new rap
This was nice. I can't wait for the batman rap to come out.
I know this came out in 2014, but it's still a bop I go back to in 2019.
all of his songs start off saying "Hi, my names..." so and so
Still one of my more favorite raps from you.
Same. The game is terrible, but what's great about Dan's raps is that they can completely turn around a bad game with a good concept and make an amazing rap. And this is one of the best raps I know, it's brilliant.
WOw, never even played this game, but enjoyed the rap anyway, You're talented.
just beat this game, and I loved it
Haven't played the game but, I hope it's explained somewhere in it how that ghost is smoking a ghost cigarette.
Umbrella Cooperation :
Da muss eine Verwechslung vorliegen
Aufwiedersehen sie werden gekündigt
Loved the game and the song was on point 100% for it.
that was a sick rap with the beat dude, million thumbs up if i could
This and the AC: Unity rap are actually probably my favourite
All i want is a LA Noire 2 IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR :[
your raps are far more convincing to buy a game then commercials and reviews.
Sick rap as usual.
Loved it Dan, once again :)
PS: Hope your ears getting better or you found some answers at least.
Dan. Still waiting on the Episode 2 for the Batman Rap. :p
I'm currently playing the game and I'm loving it so much
Crypt of the Necrodancer rap. It needs to happen. It's begging to happen. The whole game would go to waste if it didn't happen. Make the rap and then play a level using the rap for the music video. Fucking amazing.
it's good that your rapping about things that you like because it is so much better than if the game producers were paying you to do it. it's like in school if you want to do something then you try really hard but if you don't it ends up shit
Great rap Dan.
This is one of the best games i have played glad its on my channel
Finally a video game character named Ronan. Brings honour to my name :)
You were pretty awesome in Guardians of the Galaxy though.
Yet to be one called Anthony
Anthony Prince? GTA IV?
Anthony Carmine from Gears of War 2?
Clas Sic lol ive never played those games I wouldnt know
Lyrics For Those Who Want Them:
[Verse 1]
My names's Detective Ronan O'Connor
In my line of work I'm facing death daily
but now it's me who's a goner
in Salem P.D. of all the homicides, lord
I'd never say that it'd be me
lying on the sidewalk
but whatever I thought
it's become irrelevant
my skeleton's regressing through the elements
and evidently I'm undead 'til I seek
and get the evidence
one foot in the grave has made me one step ahead of him
I'll make him taste his own medicine
The Bell Killer
Devout sinner
I doubt we're dealing with a swell fella
How did it happen?
I need help with it
throw the laws of physics out the window
go to town with it
I can walk through substances
to suss out who the suspect is
but can't discuss or talk about the subject with them
'cause I must exist
I'm an ethereal
pulp noir serial star
but this is real despite appearing immaterial
I can't explain it
I'm on a hunt for the truth
to why my assailant made me plummet from under the roof
Salem is a place containing hundreds of clues
and my presumption is that somewhere in it
somebody goofed
[Hook]
Woke up in a murder scene
a ghost interred in purgatory
a dude determined to determine who has murdered me
Woke up in a murder scene
interred in purgatory
a dude determined to determine who has murdered me
Murder scene
Purgatory
a dude determined to determine who has murdered me
[Verse 2]
How can I trust girls I find in the dusk world
it's dank musty musk must just blur lines
slur words, disrupt and usurp minds
a corruption of the worst kind
but I need all the aid that I can find
between mediums and demons
I will mainly have to pry
maybe have to find
a shady patch and hide from their crazy appetite
I'm not a tasty snack, am I?
I've already made the sacrifice of life
and the fact is I would like to not have to die twice
my mind keeps rewinding back to that night
the facts of what happened don't just stack up quite right
I can't explain it I'm a hunt for the truth
to why my assailant made me plummet from under the roof
Salem is a place containing hundreds of clues
and my presumption is that somewhere in it
somebody goofed
[Hook]
Woke up in a murder scene
a ghost interred in purgatory
a dude determined to determine who has murdered me
Woke up in a murder scene
interred in purgatory
a dude determined to determine who has murdered me
Murder scene
Purgatory
a dude determined to determine who has murdered me
[End]
Who done it? Who, a who done it?
x4
wow, this is sooo good.
It's strange how I've never seen anyone play this. It's a good game, but this is literally the only place I've seen it
They need to make another murder game maybe in one where you aren’t dead but your friend is and it starts with you not knowing but getting wierd kings like you get a hunch or you I don’t know it would be cool
Getting a cypress hill vibe :D
look at the description :)
Dan Bull Well done sir. Hats off to you
Then you definitely nailed it ;)
I want this game so much

I just re-watched the Surgeon Simulator Rap and now, and for someone, I just remembered that you should do a STANLEY PARABLE RAP!!!
your song actuley made me go out and buy the game
actually
Doch wir haben Schulden bei andjelkovic Dennis !
Sweet rap, Very chill and mellow - and I think it fits the Game. Though I've never personally been the one to play it.
Keep up the good work - Should go back and do some Dragon Age raps, with Inquisition on the inbound tides.
Dan bull Big BOI Bars
That's actually a really cool concept for a game.
RealityCheck1993 Execution, contrary to what you were told, wasn't bad either. One touch I liked was how the memories of old places kept blocking your path (you even deal with a constantly re-running train at one point!) and the degradation of being a ghost drives you clinically insane after a certain point.
You better do a Destiny epic rap! And it better be the most epic rap ever! Okay?
Destiny sux.
Destiny is the most unoriginal game ever made. Please Dan don't make a rap for it at all. What he should do is remake the last of us one cuz it was to weak for how good of a game it was.
Land Eler and you swallow.
Dan bull raps way better when he makes real songs.
12345F12345 You know there's a reply button right?
I want the hypest Lp'ers to see this video, can someone show this to the Best Friends please?
I loved the idea and concept of this game it was very clever and origional but it's a shame it wasn't executed very well.
I would call this decent. Its not my favorite rap of yours, but its not bad. My question, however is will you do an Civilization Beyond Earth rap?
This idea interests me indeed!
Dan Bull If you do, will you make as a kind of sequel to your Civ 5 rap? The Civ 5 one was actually my favourite rap, because you didn't just talk about the game, you were talking about human history. Whatever you want to do, I wish you all the best luck in life.
Dan Bull I just wanna let you know you are awesome. No time to write a full comment about it know so it's just this. I write raps myself and you are an inspiration, so thank you for that :)
Dan Bull You definitely should! I believe the Civilization one was the best, getting to see through all periods of time!
Hopefully like he did his Civ5, because that was one of the best, only beaten by his Ebonheart pact rap. I still watch it once a day.
That game wasn't very long but it sure was epic
Legit my favorite. Mostly because of the instrumental.
The concept of this game would have interested me, if it wasn't for the fact that it was basically Ghost Trick but not as fun.
what a flow! DAAAAAAAMN BULL
Just Cause 2 rap please
You know... Just cause.
tubbymanification...
*.-.*
the rap is better than the game itself.
Dan I love your work and I think a Portal 1 or two rap would be amazing. It could even have an electronic beat! Just giving ideas, I know you can do something amazing with this. Maybe some Cave Johnson dialog? GlaDos? Probably not Chell haha. Thanks!
This is so groovy.
NO NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN THIS IS NOT SCOOBYDO
i want this game so much!
I fucking loved this game, I kept failing the last mission because I stupidly kept making the same mistake like 'why isn't this working?! What am I supposed to do?!'
Soon will be released one of the biggest event in Payday 2. It'll be cool to hear Dan's rap about this.
Anyway, this is my hope, maybe he consider this. This song is really good. I almost stopped listening radio stations after I found Dan in the depths of youtube.
I would suggest the mysterious hooded man to be the killer.
;)
You can't mean the gentleman with the gun, surely not!
Mysterious Hooded man watches from a distance? No?
Eirik Andresen Take a second to look awesome, time to go. Yes.
Petke Akos Walk in slow motion, so you still look awesome.
Zantom07 BUT. DON'T. MIND. HIM. JUST KEEP LOOKING AWESOME! That shadow will take care of him! Yeah! :DDD
I feel the problem with the game was the monsters and enemies. I'd have liked it more if it was purely about solving crimes. Kinda the opposite to how I felt in LA noire where I enjoyed messing around in the world over the crimes. Its interesting to see a game that does history well like it did. I loved soaking in all the details of the era.
Watching this rap had more gameplay than the game.
So when is the bat getting revived? its been my favorite one so far and ive been eagerly waiting for its resurrection.
Best rap... EVERRRRRR
You should be sponsored for this
Good rap 10/10 would dance again
Love it. Your raps really make me want to game, but my computer sucks :/
same here
This game was EPIC
the beat is catchy asf
This game loks awesome the story by the rap sounds cool
I loved this game. It was a shame though because I finished it before I had my lets play channel
I loved this game :)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this game!!!
in the words of the lutece twins lives lived will live and dies died will die it's all a matter of perspective
This is so much better than the actual game, although that doesn't say much
Awsome love this good job
