The Madden Football franchise from EA Sports had been trying to successfully incorporate this new "hip hop" thing all the kids were listening to for a few years by the time 2001 rolled around. EA had shelled out money on the hottest rappers of the moment to come up with the perfect Madden Rap.
Madden 2000 (released in 1999) featured a pretty terrible Ludacris track, while Madden 2001 (released in 2000) featured a marginally better effort from Xzibit.
