Everytime the Beat Drop - Monica

First there was the announcement of Def Jam's Rap Superstar, then DJ Jazzy Jeff's DJ Hero, now famed producer Timbaland has developed his own video came..doing what he does best...producing. Yes, much like Guitar Hero or Rock Band, the game gives players the chance to play producer. According to XXL Timbaland had this to say in a press release:
I’ve worked closely with Rockstar Games to make something completely unique. Beaterator is like taking my music studio and turning it into a suite of tools anyone can use. We can’t wait to hear the beats people make and share with the world.

If you're not familiar with Rockstar Games they came out with the classic Grand Theft Auto series for Playstation (loved that BTW). The game is slated to hit store September 26, perfect for all you refund check getters. I must admit I'm starting to think that these music games are getting out of hand. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are fun, but don't you think they are going to start pushing real instruments into ancient history as well as neglect the actual mechanics of it all?
