Name: Rap Jam, Volume 1
Author/Vendor: Mandingo/Motown
Released: 1995
Type: Sports (basketball)
Language: English
Premise: Hip-hop soundtracked street basketball with teams drawn from synergy-minded rhymers like Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Warren G, Onyx, and Naughty By Nature. Only the Genesis version features NWA founder Eazy-E, whose own gangsta-flavored game, Hittin' Switchez, was also scheduled for release shortly before his premature death in 1995.

Impressions: My opinion is based on the SNES cart, as that's the only version I have right now, so here goes. It's an unsuccessful attempt to graft together Jammit and NBA Jam with a little YACEG frosting on top. In other words, it's a complete waste of silicon and plastic.
Variations:  
Recommended Emu: No cart dump known to exist at this time.
