    Yo i love both metallica and acdc pins and there music, but now i want hiphop/rap tabels.

    Stern give me a mix of 2pac, snoop, dr. Dre, 50cent and after that a prodigy pin that would be great.
    I just think the downside would bee all rappers and yo mtv cribs guys would buy all LE models what ever they would cost

    Yaw yaaaw

    You should think about it, take a second
    Matter fact, you should take four B
    And think before you F wit lil skateboard P

    Not sure there is enough material to even make a pin out of.

    You can shoot a rap vid come up with some money for your 5 on a 20 etc...

    Smokem multiball =)

    So like 2 modes with rap music. Smoke mode and rap vid mode. Maybe put in sleep mode for attract.

    Stupidest idea I've ever heard of!

    #7 10 years ago

    I could go with some west coast! I've been a metal head most of my life, but a little Snoop Dogg and some Dr. prescribed kush would make for a great theme!

    Why, if you dont rap its okey, but i like it.
    It would be great playing pin and listening to hit em up

    I think its an awesome idea

    I bet Stern is in their board room right now running the numbers on the Snoop Dogg pin for their middle aged white guy demographic.

    Of course you may not sell the idea to those that are still waiting for the WiZ.

    LMAO!

    I would definitely pass on a rap pin, but your idea of a Prodigy pin could be really bad-ass.

    I'd be all over a Wu-Tang pinball.

    Isn't he called Snoop Lion now?

    #21 10 years ago

    The MMG would probably make a sweet pin. Who knows, Rick Ross has likely solo funded a one-off already in his likeness...or three.

    #22 10 years ago

    I wish I was a little bit taller.

    #23 10 years ago

    Maybe the Beastie Boys could work but most of rap does not match the general demographics of pinball players in the States.

    Brass Monkey Multiball. Sounds right.

    For me, this topic is making me feel old.

    Bring on the ZZ Top and Pink Floyd Pins!

    #26 10 years ago

    What?!?, no Eminem pin? Mushroom pop bumpers, pill bottle plunger, 3am multiball, wife in the trunk fast scoring.....

    #27 10 years ago

    I think a Wild Thing LE could work. With Funky Cold Medina multiball. I like quite a bit of 80s rap, but realistically probably still wouldn't buy a rap pin. Actually, I probably wouldn't buy a music pin at all outside of AC/DC, GnR, and Metallica. Those 3 just seem perfect for pinball to me.

    #28 10 years ago

    All im saying is, we got some >>>EXTREMLEY<<< nice heavy pins allready, lets try other music genres.

    #29 10 years ago

    Some rap is cool but most of it is very annoying.

    All I hear are racial slurs & "rims/hoes" in almost every song.

    It's not cool or tough, its stupid.

    So instead Stern should do a Tony Hawk machine with rap, rock & various tunes

    SMACK MY BITCH-UP MULTIBALLLLLL

    A "babys got a temper" multiball mode would be a must
    love this video...GOT MILK

    You don't want to mess with Shady.

    White lines is my fav song frm them

    #36 10 years ago

    They should do a combined Pioneers of Rap for us old guys. Public Enemy, Grand Master Flash, Beasties, Run DMC etc.

    #37 10 years ago

    Beastie Boys pin would have many possibilities. Their videos are entertaining as well.

    Like, 2 years ago.

    a techno house pin, now that i'd buy it! think about the matrix custom pin.

    rap no so much!

    #42 10 years ago

    If you really think a rap pin would sell make this a poll thread "would you buy a rap pin" and it will be a good preliminary to see if people would actually be interested in one.

    It's no coincidence that rap is in crap.

    Quoted from herbertbsharp:

    I'd be all over a Wu-Tang pinball.

    The "Check Yo Neck" ramp
    The "Diversify Your Bonds" multiball
    The "CREAM" bonus round

    I can see it now...

    #46 10 years ago

    Sadly, the only rap group with both the look and the following big enough for pinball is ICP.

    And the FBI’s ‘2011 National Gang Threat Assessment’ stated that ICP's followers (Juggalos) were an international gang.

    lol!! CREAM bonus hahaha

    Yeah don't forget "Shame on a N!##@" multiball
    and the "36 Chambers" wizard mode

    Hopefully it could have an ODB bash toy rise from the dead like Iron Man

    Quoted from herbertbsharp:

    I'd be all over a Wu-Tang pinball.

    Had to search to find my intoxicated pitch for Wu Tang pinball, shamelessly copy and pasted:

    I'm waiting for the Wu Tang pin, deepest Stern ever, with 36 modes. Featuring Killa Beez multiball, with 9 balls. Most gratuitous multiball since Apollo 13. The slings and bumpers all play kung fu fighting effects. Instead of just one gun-shaped ball launcher, like The Shadow, it has two, one on each side of the coin door (left one can be Start). To launch the ball and try for the skill shot you must pull both triggers at the same time, like a John Woo flick.

    While I don't enjoy ICP, I agree with your opinion. They have a bizarre following that spreads way farther than most folks think. My cousin for example, is a middle aged white guy with a lot of disposable income (perfect demo for pinball). He is also an adamant juggalo, although you wouldn't know it unless you looked through his CD collection or saw him at a show. He isn't into pinball but I can guarantee that if an ICP pin was produced, he would be one of the first guys on the pre-order list. It seems like a large portion of their fanbase doesn't care much for the actual product, but follow a mentality of "If ICP likes it, I'll buy it!"

    Besides them, I don't see a rap themed pin being successful simply due to pinball collector demographics. That being said, if pinball was in the same position today as it was 20 years ago, you can bet your bottom dollar there would be rap themed pinball games. The genre itself is incredibly pervasive and has managed to place itself within most areas of American society and pop culture. People can knock it all they want but rap is now a well established and influential form of expression that has spread across the globe. Similar to the emergence of rock and roll, rap music has evolved beyond mere entertainment, into the world of political expression and protest.

    If rap had hit it's stride a few years earlier, or if pinball had remained a viable market (in terms of income generated from coin-op and routed games) for another decade, I'm positive we would have seen a few rap inspired games, even if it only was something like the Beastie Boys.
