"Hip-hop's influence and impact can be felt on the airwaves, today's fashions, on television, in movies, and now, video games. The soundtrack to Thrasher: Skate and Destroy is Rockstar Games' way of paying respect to hip-hop culture and its pioneers and will set new standards for musical and audio excellence in video games."
