He loves games so much he even did a fantastic cosplay of Tekken character Leroy Smith.

4. The Game

Jayceon Taylor doesn’t call himself The Game for no reason. The west coast Hip-Hop star explains his rap moniker comes from his love of video games, and he puts that passion on display for when he is handing out Ls either Madden or NBA 2K. The Game is so good in Madden that he boasted that he was ranked no.1 in the world.

Lupe Fiasco is not just an exceptional rapper, but he’s also a great martial artist as well.

6. Snoop Dogg

When Snoop Dogg isn’t laying down tracks, filming episodes of Martha & Snoop, or a new movie, you can catch the west coast legend blowing it down and playing video games.

7. Vince Staples

Vince Staples is one of the internet’s biggest trash talkers so one can only imagine how bad it gets while playing him in video games.

You will never live it down. You have to sit there and get that ass-whooping,” said the rapper.
