It's our birthday, and we'll rap if we want to!

'Cause you know our rhymes are wack
Feel the beat--you can't go back
It's a free game rap attack
If you wanna win then take a crack

GOG.com, as you possibly know, has turned five. In celebration of us turning five, we like to have gifts for you--let's face it, if not for you, we wouldn't be here. So check out the video with our mad phat beatz yo, laid by MC Enigmatic and the famous DJ Russkat, and then if you're inspired, feel free to drop us lyrics of your own! We'll collect all of the best lyrics and award up to four people 5 GOG.com games of their choice in exchange for their permission to use their lyrics in a proper GOG Birthday Rap video. We may even spring for proper moving pictures for the next one!

It's good old games fith anniversary.
So let me explain something to you that's elementary.
Our games are so great, they're complimentary
to this kind of heavy digital kind of society.
This kind of stuff is like sobriety
when it comes to this digital monopoly.
But don't run away yet because we've just now begun.
To tell you how this company gets it's gaming done.
We begin with the good ones from way back when.
Then we sell them all digitally, we're an eleven out of ten.
We say no to DRM because we're schooled to not be fooled.
And in the end, we say that DRM's for tools.

Use chorus for [1] and Tupac rap, (its the second rap verse) for [2]. Or even better, just erase Dr. Dre rap verse (the first rap verse) and you'll get it :D

DRM don't dance
And if it don't dance
Well it's... no friend of mine!

I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from "Out of This World"
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance


---Not the most original ever, but I got a kick out of it :p
G-O-G dot com
was Good Old Games
For years they've been
Dropping the hottest names

Deus Ex,
Thief 1 & 2,
Carmageddon,
Duke Nukem, too,

Gog.com writes the word
On digi-rights management
For game playing planning it's

G-O-G, G-O-G, G-O-G
G-O-G, G-O-G, G-O-G - dot com

More classics than Stea-who?
Friendlier than Origi-what?
This site's all about kicking
Classic digital butt

Putting the OG
In Old-school Gaming
Since the time before dinosaurs
And you were NES training

Step up with the big boys
Hit up Good Old Games
There ain't no shame
In counting polys or frames

It ain't about textures,
Crazy lighting or models
If I wanted splined curves
I'd just call up your momma

G-O-G, G-O-G, G-O-G
G-O-G, G-O-G, G-O-G - dot com

Yo yo to the yo, dawgs. Check it out. Uh huh, yeah.

We're the system of perfection, full DRM free collection
Put up to the test and we aced the inspection
No misdirection, every reflection of our intention has been molded into convention
We treat you with respect, with us there's no contention

What's this, another sale? Am I dreaming, is this for real?
So many games to buy, so many new titles to try
I must be in heaven. Man, I'm gonna cry!

It's been 5 years and we're still going strong
5 years, now time to party all night long
5 years done right to the gamer community
5 years, we're the one and only G-O-G

Put your hands up! Yeah, yeah
Put your hands up! Uh huh, yeah
This is how we roll, B-day style.
Keep it real homies. Peace.

---------------------------------------

A short one from me. Nice video btw. You're an old school MC. :P
When I list the faults and flaws of your nostalgic trip, you better hide.
Run to your mama's basement, parade around with your retro pride.
Rewind your mind, you've fallen behind, living in the past again.
High-scores from times of bore, they don't mean a thing.
You're a relic! A has-been who's not yet seen the truth.
You were gaming too early, you've wasted your youth.
Grand old Games' alright, but the new ones are better.
I'll spell it out for you: triple-A to the letter!

Well, now you've gone and gotten into quite a mess.
You call yourself a modern gamer?
You're a lamer! A fanboy, no less, but I digress.
I'll teach you a lesson, profession's your choice.
Doesn't matter which, I speak with one voice.
Action, adventure, racing or chess?
Or something simpler, perhaps an FPS?
Back to school, boy, have a hot seatin',
'Cause the beatin's ... about to start!

You're not too smart, old fart, challenge accepted!
Noob! I'll 1v1 you any time, launch days excepted!
Getting my games going, you feel what I'm saying?
Cutting edge graphics, best reason for playing!
Now verify to the server, type 123 and login.
I'm about to serve ya ... let the camping begin!

Son, you just dropped the ball!
Don't you know that Grand old G' means DRM-free for all?
Graphics are nice, but gameplay's twice the dice for two gamers alike; the new, the old, the stories untold, you'll see genres unfold and concepts so bold, you'll be crampin'. So you're campin'? Brat, I'll bring the nerfbat. Put you in your place, launch a rocket to your face, for this place's a maze – ing, it's level design of yore.
BOOM!
I just settled the score!

Here is my rap submission:


Welcome to their site called GOG.com,
Where you can stay for short or stay for long,

They sell games to everyone no matter who they are,
It don't matter where they live no matter how far,

Their respected and famous, just ask around,
Their name is heard everywhere across the town,

But don't let their name fool ya, they've got more than the old,
Just take a look at their latest games sold,

And as you can see, the prices are right,
So what's not to like,

Keep your eyes peeled cuz they usually have a sale,
And when they do, their prices never fail,

Fly through the Amazon, swing off a tree,
Solve a hard puzzle, or make a story,

Play their games and the choice is yours,
They even have games you won't find in stores,

Whether it's adventure, action, or RPG,
It's all covered cuz they've got variety,

And best of all, it's all DRM free,
It's the ultimate in convenience and mobility,

But if they don't have a game, leave feedback,
They'll add to their collection what they lack,

So come to GOG and enjoy your stay,
You won't regret it, and that's all I got to say.
When I was just a little baby boy,
my momma used to tell me these crazy things
She used to tell me not to copy rap lyrics
she used to tell me you and your crazy antics

But then I got a little bit older
and I realized i still lived with her
The basement was damp, dark and cold
But there was no rent to pay, who cares

By the way i hope you see by now that
the way this song should sing
it's not spoken, whispered or screamed
but as Marshall would make you swing

Back to the basement my dad one day came in
he said "move your lazy ass out you freak"
i said why the hell should i, c'mon, force me
he left and came back with fallout 2

I thanked him and mommy cooked dinner for everyone
while my sister joined the fun
It was cool and there were laughs
until my energy was no longer up

We calmy started the fight
and glasses gently broke
I kicked her out, she fucking punched me
i kicked her out again, she fucking punched me again

Oops, here we go, dinner is ready, mommy called, let's go
first let pause the game of course
but we'll keep the fight upstairs, you ho

To that my sister replied, by cutting the power off
the saves, the records, yes the saves, all gone
jesus christ i then realized
i needed peace in my fucking mind

I had to move, my dad was right
live alone and have my life
but there's no hurry, let's go upstairs
enjoy the dinner and some red wine

no fights no fuzz no buzz
and no mom food for me
but after such a rush
i'm finally so free

social life: none!
ladies life ..huh?
i don't care, GOG takes care
in fact i'm still here
with only of bugs the fear

dear GOG, there's no words, how to say,
i wish you good and happy birthday
sure
but the truth in truth is not OK

the very first time i saw you
you seduced me with HOMM3
and still in 2013
you're keeping the DRM-free

But i know what nobody knows
cause i know you are not unknown
From very far, since the dawn of time,
you evil spawns collect my dime

you re my friend with a secret identity
indeed you are my enemy
you are my pusher and i'm no fighter
i will lose very badly

i admit, i can't resist, you're so nice, so cool, and kind
i'll fall for you, my brain is weak
until you are DRM free
i'll give you a thousand dollars each week

problem is, i ain't no rich
and more problem is i really ain't no rich
and i'm scared to really give you
1000$ each week

and for what, you might ask?
well i tell you for hoard till dust
but there's no dust cuz you're digital
you don't ship, hurra, mutual beneficial

don't matter where you live
space, caves or states
your house no need to leave
the stuff will come in no late

i'm sure that after all this years
you are now at this point
where you no longer need to work
and you just get drunk with beers

geez i'd have your drinks
as long as we won't stink
but first some dope inhale
our sponge lungs needs to die

-Ehm... no, no, i actually prefer them alive-

Back to business, this narcissistic illness
where are our mistresses, o this quizzes, such mischiefs, i miss my mom DISHES

i hoard my games
you hoard your dollars
you have no seconds aims
but that's the deal
there's no pain
and no need for controllers

mouse and keyboard and voilà
we are done with the setup

might and magic, heroes of
the third chapter i mean
it's the best because
feels like i'm still thirteen

carmaggedon too, actually very obscene
people said, making scenes
like some nice politicians
what a waste of electricians

MDK, commandos saga and duke nukem 3d
lara croft, moto racer and interstate 76

yes i bought more games
which sadly i never played 'em
i remind you my problem's name: hoard
if you forgot please check the rhymes above

by the way i wish to ask you
any chances with OPERA FATAL?
i know GOG, the birthday it's yours
but it would enhance my accrual

you exploit my damn impulse
and don't ask if i am cursed

free, on sale or full price
as soon i have your games
the adrenaline is up
and blood runs through my brain

yes the heat lasts a second
but guys o what a second
the endorphin runs fast
the heat is such a blast

you may be thinking "what a waste of money"
and other blablablab
well you're free to think, honey
but i can eat and get no flab

well my rappish Dante is done
oh my god what i just said
"rappish Dante" yes it's there
i need to hide myself

before i go, my darling GOG
you truly are beloved

let me tell you that
you are cool, nice and fresh
as some prince of...

never turns lazy
or someone will turn crazy

keep up your style, never change
only your library expand
extend your games range?
of that you are the czar!

i wish you all the best, no doubt
time is over, i'm OUT.
Haters kept hating, they said my games were TOO OLD.
The greatest games of all time. Now that's SOMETHING TO BEHOLD.
Indie favorites, or BG2? Whatever you like, WE'VE GOT IT FOR YOU.

Five years later, and we're STILL ON TOP.
For good old games we're your ONE STOP SHOP.
Gog.com has all the CLASSICS.
step to us and you'll get your ASS KICKED.

So take a trip down memory LANE, it's so INSANE.
Over 600 games, inside your BRAIN.
Gog.com, man, we're bringing the PAIN.
And its all DRM-free, cause we think that s#!% is LAME.
GOOOOOOOOG!!!!!!!!!!

It stands for Good Old Games!
Or maybe Great Old-school Gems!
I know it's not blames and shames!
Like all your DRM-filled stratagems!

I say hi to all the fatherblupping Egomaniac Ashdongholes,
and I say die to all you money-grubbing payday trolls!

Now if you'll excuse me I'll go play some Baldur's Gate, boy!
While wapping off to some pornographic jailbait joy!

HUZAH!!!!!!


=====================
I wasn't sure whether this should be censored or not, but I assumed it would so I censored it.
Now can I haz games, please? =)
To be rapped against the rhythm / beat of the the opening riff of N.W.A.'s "Gangsta Gangsta"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHaOul8gVVc

Here's a little somethin' from the G-O-G
Sellin' all the games that are all DRM-Free
MC Enigmatic would like to say
That we have over five hundred games to download today
Since 2008, we did old PC games
Now all the indies and big guys want to come and play
Giving free games to you
And selling Witcher 2, you don't like how we pick games?
Well that's rude!

This is a business, and we're in it
DJ Russkat will wrap this up in a minute
We know that D-R-M is useless
And our longevity can prove this!
Everywhere we go they say man!
The G O G is shaking up the program
And then you realize you don't care
You're not messing with discs, you're too busy playing, yeah!




Also meant to be performed against the rhythm / beat of "Gangsta Gangsta":

GWAR - "The Salamanizer"

My entry:

from the land of the Witcher comes the GOG
Original Gangsters dealing games legendary
resurrecting classics long abandoned
a blast from the past for a new generation
Consoles are okay, but new horizons must be seen
You must be just an average kid, going through your Vagrant Stories
Might've heard about some classics, like Torment and even Larry
Good Old Games, on the look out when these itches get ya' ready

When you browse upon these gems, shining brighter than the sun
with early gaming from the 90's, sweeter than chewing gum
Fantasy and Science Fiction 'ventures clicking to the point
Whatever decade it may be, DRM won't haunt your realm

Don't want to waste a lot of time, 'cause it's better to just play
Thanks to us, Good Old Games, and by the way, it's our Birthday
Feelin' like the hero Twinsen, Relentless in the Oddysey
GoG, five years goin', old and new, big and indie

And I will try rap in my native language:

Łapu-capu, łapu-capu, łap-cap-cap,
Rapu-capu, rapu-capu, rap-rap-rap!

Posłuchajcie, dobrzy ludzie, co tu rapnę Wam bez kitu
O stroniczce z grami takiej, która z siłą dynamitu
Pierdutnęła świat rozrywki na zupełnie nowe tory,
Więc z całego globu spieszą ku niej nowe amatory.
Gracze mali, duzi, średni, chudzi, łysi, piegowaci,
Powiększają wciąż szeregi bezdeeremowej braci.
Dnia każdego nieustannie łapu-capią nowe giery,
Co rozumiem doskonale, jeśli mam być całkiem szczery...

Łapu-capu, łapu-capu, łap-cap-cap,
Rapu-capu, rapu-capu, rap-rap-rap!

Gadał ojciec mój sędziwy, że za lat swej nieletności
Gry klimacik lepszy miały, dając też więcej radości,
„A wy, młodzi, guzik wiecie” – tak mi prawi dalej szczerze –
„Nie wiem skąd tyle głupoty w waszych głąbach wciąż się bierze”.
Tatku drogi, nie trać wiary w ducha swej progenitury,
Zajrzyj w GOG-a arcydzieła i nie szukaj w całym dziury.
Ojciec migiem się przekonał, lecz ku mej dzikiej rozpaczy,
Zabrał kompa i powiększył rzeszę koneserów-graczy...

Łapu-capu, łapu-capu, łap-cap-cap,
Rapu-capu, rapu-capu, rap-rap-rap!

Mój kolega z baru „Bratek”, całkiem znany anarchista,
Nie ma w domu Internetu, rzecz to przecież oczywista.
CIA, inwigilacja, lobbing, Mossad, Al-Kaida –
W czasach totalnego spisku łącze z siecią się nie przyda.
Zatem nie dla niego Para, co przez Zawór się wyrzyna,
Nie dla niego aktywacje, tudzież inna papranina.
Chłop chce zagrać, więc kupuje, ciągnie w pracy, rzuca w dyski,
Potem niesie do chałupy i niestraszne mu już spiski…

Łapu-capu, łapu-capu, łap-cap-cap,
Rapu-capu, rapu-capu, rap-rap-rap!

Się zebrała kupa gości, prawdę mówiąc nie z tej beczki.
Bierzcie przykład z nich czym prędzej, moi chłopcy i dzieweczki,
Bo w epoce tak zepsutej zachowali klasę pełną,
Co oznacza, że zaufać im wypada nawet w ciemno.
Do klienta się odnoszą ładnie, pięknie, jak do człeka,
Można kadzić im bez końca, lecz niestety czas ucieka.
Więc kto zdrowy na umyśle śpiewa rap na łapu-capu,
Sto lat w zdrowiu dla Projektu! Dosyć będzie tego rapu…

Łapu-capu, łapu-capu, łap-cap-cap,
Rapu-capu, rapu-capu, rap-rap-rap!
GoG is turning five,yo yo gamers
Its the Good Old Games they are,
Made by gamers for gamers,
Now thats what dedication,
Sellin hot old new and retro,
With DRM-free distribution,
Yeah,Its a gamers paradise yo
Happy birthday Gog,by us gamers
