In an expletive-filled interview with Sounds Like Fire, rapper DMX lashed out against both the music and video game industries regarding how much of the proceeds they share with artists that make the products possible.

Specifically, DMX was upset with the offer Def Jam made to him to appear in the sequel to Def Jam Vendetta. “X” was an unlockable character in the 2003 fighting game that featured superstar rappers pummeling each other over contracts and disrespect.

He said some people offered him a $25,000 signing bonus and two cents for every copy of every game sold to appear in the sequel Def Jam:Fight for New York. He declined because of his experience with Vendetta.

“Mind you they used my music throughout the whole———- game and I’m the hardest character to get to, so it’s pretty much like my——,” the rapper said in the interview. “$50 dollar———- game and you’re giving me two cents? Let me think about that for a minute.”

It’s a shame he didn’t appear as it sounds as if his real life frustrations with people in the industry would have made an outstanding addition to the story mode of any fighting game.
