Jared literally. But I just seen a comment saying that artist were paid horribly to say the least so I doubt anything like this would be sold in their likeness again. But I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞
Yeah, they even made their own blaze moves. There's a video of them being asked what their special move would be and I think I remember xzibit going on about how crazy his move was gonna be and they put it in.
And most of them were great at voice acting, too. We saw many times with animated movies how bad celebrities can be at voice acting, even IRL actors. But rappers in this game were superb.
By the way, search for NBA 2K15 career mode voice acting. It has some HORRENDOUS moments LMAO Yeah I know athletes are not necessarily well spoken, but holy shi. Those dudes were playing themselves and they could barely talk like a real human. It just shows how voice acting isn't trivial, even when you're voicing yourself.
I really hope they had good times voice acting in this game. The fact that EA probably paid them 2 cents per copy sold which is a $50 game, that must've been pretty insulting for them. I want to imagine Bonecrusher doing his blazin' move on one of the EA's dev teams for this type of scam haha.
@@southsidenative5814 idk if there a store like that where you at but where I am there a place that sells classic games all the way back to Atari but u can also find it on Ebay
the fact that most characters have their own specific moves and voice lines and even songs and items is crazy way ahead of its time one of the best games of the 2000s deserves a remaster just needs online tbh
Tye J when it first came out it was really popular and is now considered a legendary game. There is a difference between being a head of its time and underrated. It was not underrated, people loved that game
Why underrated?? I'm from Brazil and even here this game was huge, everybody that had a ps2, this was a must buy... Legendary game... Now a days, there are no fight games like that..
Nah straight remake, everything stays the same except the graphics thats the only thing updated and maybe better cutscense if thats possible but just updated graphics are enough
@@assassinxhunter7941 its not the graphics its the fact they change everything besides just a visual upgrade, if they would just touch the graphics and nothing else it would probly be loved by fans even more but they always change shit but your right a remake would probly ruin it it just would sick asf to see that shit in 1080-4k
This really makes me wonder if any of the artists/ actors still owns this game in their collection. You can tell they really had fun with this project.
Not gonna lie. For a Rapper Bonecrusher was scary looking back in the day lmao that never scared video really set the tone. He’s still a legend in my book
TJelly Man He was big , had the wild Afro , the deep wrestler like voice , the evil laugh , the crazy movements he did in the music videos & more importantly that “Never Scared” video with a name like “Bonecrusher” It wasn’t hard to be scared of him as a “KID” when stuff still seemed realistic lmao I use to think he was Andre The Giant size lmao just childhood things man
Can you imagine if they made a remake along with an online expansion pack, create your own character buy clothes and jewelry to fight online against others?! Mannnn I would buy that game in an instant!!!

The reason why DMX wasn't in this was because it's an interview he made and he mention that they didn't pay him enough on Def Jam Vendetta so he decided not to be on Fight For NY.

Don't be pessimistic .. There is talk that they might remaster this masterpiece.
I still play this on my ps2.Def Jam fight for newyork
Mainly because i always hear the rappers talk about how they weren’t paid
The voice acting was on point. You can tell they were excited and genuinely wanted to play their role.
True
Of course, imagine yourself in a videogame is a dream come true.
This was when EA actually took their time with their games they actually cared
Nosie Tankz yea you have to buy stuff now
@DJG Def Jam Icon was just a cash grab.
@DJG They also had a different producer for the game.
Ea is a publusher company
Not a developer one
They didn't make this
Only published it
Yukes made this game, not EA. yukes also made the best wresting game ever, no mercy on N64
No joke. The moves in this game are so dope that it's hard to even be mad about getting your ass handed to you in it.
Right? You're hype to see your ass kicked.
They need to remaster this game or make a Sequel
Jared literally. But I just seen a comment saying that artist were paid horribly to say the least so I doubt anything like this would be sold in their likeness again.
But I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞
DEF JAM L.A
ŲŇĐĄŰŅŢËĎ ßØÝ a Def Jam Fight for LA would be nice I hope that happens
BRO THATS WAT IM SAYIN!!!
They will fuck it up if they remaster it. Let this classic remain a classic.
Look like all the MCs that voice-acted themselves had fun
Yeah, they even made their own blaze moves. There's a video of them being asked what their special move would be and I think I remember xzibit going on about how crazy his move was gonna be and they put it in.

Nothing can touch GTA
More then GTA no

More than GTA, stupid 😂😂

For a bunch of untrained voice actors they all did surprisingly well. Bad VA would have killed this series from the start so EA got very lucky
