After the release of the highly successful DJ video game, DJ Hero, earlier this year, hip hop heavyweights Jay-Z and Eminem have become actively involved in releasing a special edition of the game titled Renegade Edition. The DJ Hero Renegade Edition will feature a black turntable with gold trimmings as well as a range of different songs by Jigga and Em to mix. In a recent online interview, Eminem spoke about the game: “I think there's a lot of kids who listen to hip-hop [and] buy video games, a lot of the same audience. It gives the kids a chance to, kinda, get their feet wet with the deejaying experience. Obviously it's a video game so it's not the actual thing, but, it can give you a feel for what it's kinda like for kids or whatever...If this game would have came out back when I was a kid, I would have went to Target and stole it along with my pink 'Alf' shirt...I think that this is kinda a way for kids, you know with Guitar Hero it's like challenging them to be able to play the songs and this is kinda challenging the kids to become a deejay.”
