Twisted Metal dev David Jaffe has taken on a fan of Twisted Metal, who is not a fan of Jay-Z or 'blacks' in general.
Mr Jaffe began his crusade with:
"This is a quote from a supposed Twisted Metal 'fan' on the great TM fansite TWISTED METAL ALLIANCE. Check this racist shit out (it's this person's response to some of the licensed music I tweeted earlier that would be in the game): 'Really? Most of these suck! Is he really trying to get Jay-z songs in a Twisted Metal? Not to be racist but I don't want to here blacks rap about there bitches and hoes at all. Nor do I want them playing TM. That's not racist right? It needs Metal! Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax; the big four!
"I bet theres a black guy on his team that needs pleasing..."
Mr J's take was, "Fucking WOW, right? I mean- fuck man: I'm so stunned that a game I can co-direct can connect and communicate with such an ignorant asshole. On a side note: remind me to send a copy of 'Elements of Style' to this Klan member. Fuck..."
Before finishing off with:
"The music we selected is because it's aggressive and represents the characters and the world. A good example: don't fucking tell me the Mr. Grimm battling Iron Maiden to the soundtrack of Jay-Z's '99 Problems' doesn't make sense. Now again, we probably won't GET a Jay-Z song in the game cause he's too expensive I would imagine....but trust me: we're selecting songs because they are right for the game....not because we are trying to check off a list of songs to broaden the market. I mean honestly: who the fuck pays 60 bucks for a video game cause it has a soundtrack they like anyway?!?"
Soundtrack thoughts?
