So youre playing the arcade mode for the first time and just getting the feel for the game. One stage sees you in a building covered in gold. Watching you fight is a man sat on a golden throne of sorts, wearing a purple suit surrounded by scantily clad women. Unlike most background tracks on Tekken Tag Tournament 2 this song actually has words. After listening to the track a little longer the voice sounds familiar it sounds like Snoop Dogg. Come to think of it, that guy in the throne looks like Snoop Dogg Needless to say it is Snoop Dogg performing his exclusive track for the game, Knocc Em Down. Apparently Snoop is a big Tekken fan and the creators wanted to mix Eastern and Western influences in this title. Were not sure if Snoop is actually a fan or if he just needed a bit of extra cash. Considering his recent involvement with the Money Supermarket adverts here in the UK it seems like the latter. Just remember, if it looks like a has-been rapper and sounds like a has-been rapper it most probably is a has-been rapper. It was extremely surprising to see such an influential fighting title to resort to such a ridiculous celebrity cameo though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw4gbmqQ3cM
