Shunning Xbox Live, Rappers Plan For Live 100G ‘Madden’ Bout

Bow Wow vs. GameRap stars Bow Wow and Game have exchanged YouTube challenges to battle each other in “Madden,” live, with $100,000 at stake.

Will they do it? I’m not sure. Our hip-hop reporter Shaheem Reid reports on the challenge, censoring the completely not-safe-for-work epithets used in the clips.

Now why does Bow Wow need to fly Game to a shared location to play in person? Why can’t they just play over Xbox Live or PSN?

And, if the kids aren’t around, watch Game’s M-rated response here, notable for two reasons:

  1. He wears the only PS3 necklace I’ve ever seen.
  2. He offers to sell copies of “Madden NFL 09,” shrink-wrapped, for a pretty good price!
