You think Harmonix is working on the nextRock BandbeyondGreen Day: Rock Band? Yeah, me too. But how about a game featuring the music of hardcore hip-hop duo M.O.P.? Didn’t see that one coming, eh?
According toThe Royalty Network, Harmonix Music Systems recently put in license usage requests for the following songs:
You might notice these aren’t tracks that would fit anywhere in Harmonix’s currentRock Bandtitles without someseriousimagination. So what could they be for? Well, it may be for nothing at all — requests for license usage doesn’t mean they’ll actually be used… they’re simply requests. But what if they’re looking to create the nextAmplitude, or a new music franchise entirely?
Or maybe Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopolos justreallylikes M.O.P.; who can resist lyrics like “Fool what you want? Your life or your jewels?” Not me, that’s for sure. First Family, fools. First Family.
When contacted about the songs licenses, a Harmonix/MTV Games rep threw out the expected “No comment” right before he yanked my gold chain and ran off.
