gears of war 4, published by microsoft. and i guess there's a new song from RTJ in a new commercial for this game? internet at work is severely restricted so i can't validate that claim
not exactly what i would expect from guys that are on record as being very anti-establishment and vaguely anti-commercialism. if this was something from a small indie studio, or even the original developers of gears of war, epic games (at one point they were brash, loud, and rebellious), i think it would be a great look. but el-p and killer mike in bed with microsoft feels a little off to me
then again this probably will expand their brand quite a bit. maybe this is a slight step back to enable a great leap forward. and it's probably unfair to hold el and mike to statements they made on wax years ago. and at a certain age you probably just don't give a fuck about that stuff anymore and are more concerned with you and your loved ones' well being than something you said on a song when you were 25
