Tracing back to the Jay-Z and Eminem collaborative track from 2001’s The Blueprint album, DJ Hero creates a special version of their newly developed video game system, appropriately entitled the Renegade Edition. Along with a special version turntable, the set will feature a convertible hardcase turned stand, and two-disc CD set, featuring previously unreleased music from Hip-Hop legends, Jay-Z and Eminem.

One aspect of video game design is to prescribe as much realism as possible but still retain a sense of fantasy and escape. Hence, the inclusion of real people such as the recent involvement of Jay-Z and EMINEM to the upcoming Activison’s game title, DJ HERO. However, a few canny contributors/gamers mentioned that there was already an actual DJ in the game – DJ Shadow.

DJ Shadow, along with DJ Z-Trip, DJ AM and Cut Chemist, were asked to cut some original tunes for the game. In addition, DJ Shadow will appear in the game as a character too, who is distinguishable by his blue flaming eyes. But the most notable feature on DJ Shadow’s avatar is the old school black General Made hoodie by A Bathing Ape (BAPE). Talk about the ultimate platform for a product placement…
