I can call it MC Hero or something. Basically the story revolves around an up n coming rap star who starts battling out in the streets and then moves up by getting props and respect to bigger venues like Eminem in 8 mile. With the eventual goal of getting signed to a major label.
The gameplay would be like having the player pick from a choice of various possible rhyme lines some of which are better than others, and the crowd responds accordingly. As the player progresses the mc's he/she is battling become more difficult with awesome flows. You can use like a mic joystick to sing along karaoke style.
Everything is customizable: Wardrobe, jewelry, cars, houses, etc.. You can also have like a coop mode where a girl or somebody that can sing will sing the hooks, ala ashanti/jarule. On that note you can have like famous guest rappers, performing classic tracts, battling the great mc's of old. You can even have like a DJ controller of sorts and make your own beat ala MTV music generator (remember).
The possibilities are endless! You can have like a role playing game where the up and comer has to hustle on the streets to get money to enter contests, promote their albums, etc...
What do you think? I have so many ideas for this, you think a video game company would go for it?
