* Music/FrankOcean is an avid gamer; track titles from his first mixtape include ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur]]'', ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' and ''[[VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 GoldenEye]]''.

*** Speaking of covers, has anyone seen just what's on "Food and Liquor"? Among the floating stuff, he's got a UsefulNotes/NintendoDS and a ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' copy. And in the video for "I Gotcha", he's playing a classic joystick console.

* Music/DelThaFunkeeHomosapien is another fantastic example from the rap world. Gaming is a common subject in his raps, but in the song "Proto Culture", he talks about getting calluses from playing ''Asteroids'', using the Power Glove, not being able to beat the original ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' because his mom wouldn't answer the phone, owning the first issue of Nintendo Power with maps of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'', bragging about his collection of rare Sega games, playing ''VideoGame/BushidoBlade 2'' and ''VideoGame/{{Tenchu}}'', the output of Creator/{{Capcom}} and {{Creator/SNK}}, importing ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' from Japan, killing cops in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' and getting a UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast before anyone else did. Unsurprisingly, this track and so many others use a lot of video game samples.
