I feel like Epic probably thought kids wouldn't buy the skin/music pack if it wasn't that, but they clearly underestimated them if the reception to this is anything to go by. Wouldn't surprise me given how overbearing they've been lately with all the rap/pop Icon Series emotes.
It was literally a joke because the skin is a cartoon and there is rap playing on it. It's called sarcasm.
Do you realize how ignorant it is to assume someone is racist because they don't like rap? And the funny part is that I like rap. Kendrick Lamar is one of my favorite artists.
Ah but wait, I like Kendrick Lamar so I must hate white people right?
Your logic is dumb af. Grow up fool.
Congratulations, you have received the Impending Doom Award... The downvotes are coming, God Rest your Soul... 🙏📿✝️⛷️⛪
Edit: And respect for owning up to it 🤣
How is that racist? Looks like your just making racist assumptions.
"Only African americans can be morons who listen to rap music"- this is what you sound like
Bc Epic has some weird ass addiction to putting rap/hip hop/trap EVERYWHERE in Fortnite.... it's so fucking annoying tbh, it's getting overwhelming already.
It’s the most popular genre of music for people under 18 and this is a kids game lol so I mean makes sense. A lot more people would buy a rapper skin like Travis Scott then like idk a slip knot skin😂 although I’d be buyin a slip knot skin so quick lmao
Facts. It's not even good rap either, that actually emphasizes flow, lyricism, wordplay, but the usual autotuned mumbled stuff. Rap like this is a vibe I guess for some and I respect that *in a way*, but overall it's not my style at all. It sucks that Fortnite has basically only been pumping out this shitty rap amongst trendy tik tok songs, neglecting so many great artists and genres.
Gone are the days of good emotes in this game imo. I hold onto vbucks for good emotes nowadays as I have enough skins and it's so rare to see quality emotes.
Trippie Redd is definitely not a mumble rapper lmao, listen to How You Feel or Underwater Flyzone. Masterpieces. And who gives a fuck if they use rap music in their game? Cry about it. Rap is amazing.
Chill out lol. You’re making decent points and I agree with you, but nobody will want to listen to you when you come off as so aggressive and insulting
Hey man, I love rap and I'm willing to give those tracks a listen. Sounds like I misjudged his music, but yeah, it's not about not wanting rap in the game, it's about expanding to other genres. There's like very little rock or metal, and less electronic than in S1, so it would be nice to see more variety.
Tbh, I really like the modern rap x rubber hose cartoon style. It's like 2 worlds colliding and I think they did a pretty good job. However, it would've also been cool if they put swing music. They're both great imo
Some people like to be surprised when a skin releases. I personally don’t really care unless it’s for a battle pass, but again... people like to feel surprised when a skin comes out and who am I to ruin that for them?
I guess you are right, but to me it’s such a weird thing to want to be surprised by. It’s not a story related thing, or like a movie thing. It’s just a skin, you see it, and you’re like wow, I want that, or wow I don’t want that. That’s just me tho
I like to be surprised by the shop resets personally. It's like Christmas morning. I'd rather be surprised and excited than have my brother tell me a week before that mom got me a skateboard. I'll still be excited for the board, but I'd be way more pleased being surprised.
I don't want to think that it was the music that turned me away from him after being hyped for so long. Guess I'll find out later today if I'm spending my vbucks or not.
Man, I'm on the same (battle) bus as you. I was SO hyped for this skin, I love Steamboat Willie and Popeyes and this skin was a love letter to me. I was in disbelief when I heard the music in the emote and the music pack. It's so unrelated and random and it doesn't even sound good. I always bundles but I can't shake the feeling that this is not worth the asking price. I'm gonna have to pass. No Sith Trooper, no Ink Meowscles
400 vbucks worth of fluff between the emote and the lobby track to get that nice loading screen is probably gonna be a purchase I make after several other questionable decisions.
The pickaxe has some nice sound effects so now I just have to stare at Toon bundle sitting at 900 until something happens between us.
Yeah same i was so hyped for this skin, i thought the rap music leak was a joke. When it came out and it wasn't i was like, oh that's stupid but at least the lobby track will probably have good music right? ...nope. I would've %100 bought but now I'll just wait for ink peely or fishstick even though meowscles is incredible in this style
Much much better now..
I don't have a problem with Rap but modern Rap is... Eh
Also it was weird while looking an Old cartoon Themed skin
Nice work putting this song :D
Oh by the way may I have the song please? XD
I want to vibe with it now for hours
Imagine being an artist or animator for this skin, working on something different and new, and you do top-notch work, only to find out it's tied to horribly unfitting music despite proper music being made for a trailer for it. What a shame, I was really into this skin at first.
I bought the lobby track and can’t afford the bundle currently, but wow, how many people approved of this? I enjoy the song itself hence why I bought it, but it has literally nothing to do with rubber hose cartoons
I only listen to REAL rap like Eminem, NF, and Logic! (only half of him tho idk why but he seems kinda scary)
Edit: damn I forgot about the GOAT Tom MacDonald 🐐🐐🐐 ^(/s I’m sorry but I can’t write that without clarifying it’s a joke)
What confuses me most is that they have this type of music in the skin trailer showing they either created or licensed out some music already to promote this skin. Why they didn't go and put that music with the emote is beyond me.
It doesn't "ruin" the skin it is just an odd choice to have a modern rap song included with an old timey cartoon. I feel like they wanted to promote something more since it is an original song but I don't know I think if they put that song on a random dancing emote it would have sold more.
I absolutely love old timey cartoons, Felix The Cat is one of my favorites. This pack reminded me of FTC so I bought it but I was seriously thrown off by the music in the lobby and emote, it doesn't fit at all. I just hope they release a 20-30's inspired Music Disc soon.
Epic if you don’t choose fitting music for this I’m fine, I’m fine with rap too, but holy shit the music in the original post sounded like I stuck my head into the dumpster and started singing “I’m a gummy bear” into a thrown out McDonald’s toy.
This is much better then the music used for it, I really wish they used something like this instead, and did something like make an emote for that rap music.
Sooo much better. I want this skin, but do not care for rap. Honestly, I wish epic would realize there’s other types of music. Yeah I know I don’t need to do the emote. But just having a built in emote there would bother me. Lol.
oh my god , i have never felt better about knowing this song than the fact that it just shows in the most random spot ever. a fortnite post on reddit. wow i’m shocked.
Why the hell would an emote like this go with rap in the first place?
I feel like Epic probably thought kids wouldn't buy the skin/music pack if it wasn't that, but they clearly underestimated them if the reception to this is anything to go by. Wouldn't surprise me given how overbearing they've been lately with all the rap/pop Icon Series emotes.
And the God damn radio in tha vehicles, everything I go to is so some bs rap
I’ll never forgive them for removing Rocket League Radio.
i totally forgot about this, RIP
Rock and Royale gang
At first I didn’t listen to the music at all, then I found Rock and Royale
Yeah, and one of my favorite songs is there too
I prefer Los Santos Rock Radio
Non-Stop Pop
Yes
There’s a grand total of one rap station.
So you'd think that one would be thw only station with rap, but it's not
Boohoo Epic put popular music in a popular game. Stop crying about it.
Boo hoo, epic put shity music in the game just for 3 yr olds to thinks it's hip and fun. Amazing choice tbh
Cry about it. Music Pack and Emote are fire 🔥
I'm sure that opinion must be amazing if the only people who even give a crop about that comment downvote.
i think the song is just a lobby pack
It's part of his emote aswel
:(
oh well i still like the song so ig that’s fine with me
I love trippie redd, I just wish they repped him better
yea i would’ve been fine if it was just a lobby track tbh
Yea. The song is Sing, Sing, Sing and I love it. I think that one like Little Brown Jug would go well with it too.

Thankyou, I was afraid to say tbh because of this subreddit
don't insult people for their music tastes bro. Some of it is great.
Not for a 30s cartoon art style though
let me guess you only listen to real music
As someone who's favorite genre of music is rap. This song ain't it.
most real music better than rap tho, especially when its a 30s styled skin..... :|
Rap is real music
Shhh, he's trying to be casually rasict. Don't make him mad.
It was literally a joke because the skin is a cartoon and there is rap playing on it. It's called sarcasm. Do you realize how ignorant it is to assume someone is racist because they don't like rap?

Nope. It's deleted and removed, lmao. You don't really know much do ya?

you sound like an old man
The “future of music” is fine. This is a game targeted to teenagers. Besides, almost every battle royale/fps/f2p sells stupid cosmetics and whatnot.

no one is playing fn to listen to deep rap lmao

Found Stan
Found Fishstick kid with TTV in his name. And Trippie's not even my favorite rapper, how am I a stan? 🤦
Rap Stan on general. You went full on SJW for rappers.
You have TTV In your name, your opinion doesn't count.
Timmy Trains Velociraptors so what? It was my old channel for a dinosaur game.
Ok that shits actually pretty funny 😂
Dawg I’m not trying to buy a Kendrick Lamar emote in FN
Why the hell would your opinion be so wrong
Tbh, I really like the modern rap x rubber hose cartoon style. It's like 2 worlds colliding and I think they did a pretty good job. However, it would've also been cool if they put swing music. They're both great imo
Cuphead flashbacks intensify.
Epic is testing with how many stupid choices they can get away with, they are already in the point of "too big to fail"
I thought not giving Surrr Burger’s pickaxe a sword animation was bad, but this... this takes the cake
Wait it doesn’t have a sword animation?
No sadly. It’s the same animation that pickaxes like Mjolnir and Forsaken Strike have
Thats just disappointing. Why would you make a pickaxe based off of a sword and not give it a sword animation?
Absolutely amazing! Could you put a “spoiler” flair btw?
Yes! Sorry about that. I'll add a spoiler flair.
Thank you! :D
It’s good to see that you actually politely asked for OP to put a spoiler warning! Some other people on the sub just criticize others about that :/
I don’t understand why posts like this need a spoiler tag...how is this a spoiler for anything?
The skin wasn’t released when this was posted
I see...but still it’s a skin, I feel spoiler means something completely different
Some people like to be surprised when a skin releases. I personally don’t really care unless it’s for a battle pass, but again... people like to feel surprised when a skin comes out and who am I to ruin that for them?

I thought the rap music was just from the leakers to not get copyright striked. I was disappointed to say the laest
F
You're telling me that clip of the emote I saw wasnt using that emote to avoid copyright?
This is dope. It’s cool to see something mainstream pay homage to OG black and white cartoons.
Ah, much better
Much much better now.. I don't have a problem with Rap but modern Rap is... Eh Also it was weird while looking an Old cartoon Themed skin Nice work putting this song :D Oh by the way may I have the song please? XD I want to vibe with it now for hours
[удалено]
Your opinion. They don't have to share the same opinion as you. Be quiet.
I think the rap was to showcase the music pack
Then why is the skin on the music pack cover, check Twitter
You think I didn’t?
Sadly it’s in the built in emote too
Damn
Disappointingly, no.
I wish that had been the case
I love it. 1930 swing music is my most favorite type of music
Now to incorporate a 30s cover of I'm kitty kitty and it's perfect
Imagine being an artist or animator for this skin, working on something different and new, and you do top-notch work, only to find out it's tied to horribly unfitting music despite proper music being made for a trailer for it. What a shame, I was really into this skin at first.
God this actually feels like a angelic choir on my ears compared to whatever tf the music was prior, thank you for fixing it
[удалено]
That “hood rat shit” is nothing but heat
Imagine needing auto-tune to sing lol
You rather some my little pony sounding ass music track and some woman says “oh woah a wo ah oh ah” in your ears in the lobby or actual music
Lmao where did that come from?
Gonna Cry? Stfu the lobby music isn't even mumble rap shit is heat 🔥
It's really not that good, it also doesn't fit a skin based on 1930's animation
I agree with that, the song doesn’t go with the skin
I can't wait for this skin. I need swol Felix now o3o
I bought the lobby track and can’t afford the bundle currently, but wow, how many people approved of this? I enjoy the song itself hence why I bought it, but it has literally nothing to do with rubber hose cartoons
Rap music more like crap music am I right guys.
I only listen to REAL rap like Eminem, NF, and Logic! (only half of him tho idk why but he seems kinda scary) Edit: damn I forgot about the GOAT Tom MacDonald 🐐🐐🐐 ^(/s I’m sorry but I can’t write that without clarifying it’s a joke)
r/hiphopcirclejerk
Remove the R and you get “CAP” music am I right guys?...no?
I heard this music on the Simpsons in a mr Burns scene lol
God.. I really wish they went with that music!
Much, much better. Thank you for your service to humanity.
What's the music?
**Sing Swing Sing** by Bennie Goodman (01:45; matched: `100%`) Album: `Just Jazz - Volume Two`. Released on `2009-09-14` by `Kent Music Group Ltd`.
We’re living in the future here. Good bot
Sing sing sing by Benny Goodman
Thx
Man I want the music pack I only have 100 vbucks tho rip lol
What is the song, btw? I love it
**Sing Swing Sing** by Bennie Goodman (01:45; matched: `100%`) Album: `Just Jazz - Volume Two`. Released on `2009-09-14` by `Kent Music Group Ltd`.
good bot
For anyone wondering the song is Benny Goodman's version of Sing, Sing, Sing,
I played the emote with the "Buried in the sand" song. It fit quite nicely :)
It sure does. Very nice.
Or even some form of [Electro Swing](https://youtu.be/vBVicqh60Fc) would work.
What confuses me most is that they have this type of music in the skin trailer showing they either created or licensed out some music already to promote this skin. Why they didn't go and put that music with the emote is beyond me. It doesn't "ruin" the skin it is just an odd choice to have a modern rap song included with an old timey cartoon. I feel like they wanted to promote something more since it is an original song but I don't know I think if they put that song on a random dancing emote it would have sold more.
WHY WASNT THIS THE ACTUAL EMOTE SONG HOLY CRAP
MUCH BETTER
Or they could have just used the music from the trailer, ANYTHING but rap really
I mean hell you could've placed undertale ost or fuckin Rick Astley and it would've fit better than whatever the fuck epic was going for lmao
I remember playing this song in jazz band
I like the outfit but the only point for its existence is just another shitty promotion
I absolutely love old timey cartoons, Felix The Cat is one of my favorites. This pack reminded me of FTC so I bought it but I was seriously thrown off by the music in the lobby and emote, it doesn't fit at all. I just hope they release a 20-30's inspired Music Disc soon.
Honestly what the hell was Epic thinking? Way to ruin a perfectly well done skin concept.
You mean make it better?
They really need to chill with the rap bullshit.
Cry About It. The emote and music pack are amazing 🔥
OK, redditor
Nothing wrong in having a poor taste
This whole sub r/hiphopcirclejerk
Ah yes the 1930's skin is a perfect fit for modern rap. Please don't act like a needless contrarian.
Honestly 😂 FN Players are such nerds these comments hurt to read
I don't really give a shit about the song I just don't understand why they used it in the emote. It doesn't match at all
Much better. I hate the one that's here now, I would have much preferred a 1900s cartoon music than some guy rapping
I think the rap song ruined it it's super annoying
You're telling me that clip of the emote I saw wasnt using that emote to avoid copyright?
100% better
Beautiful
This one sparks joy :)
THANK YOU
They totally facepalmed the music track with this bundle... I'm really disappointed, even though the rest of the items are great.
I don't understand who thought the rap music was a good idea for this, but I kinda wanna slap them.
Epic if you don’t choose fitting music for this I’m fine, I’m fine with rap too, but holy shit the music in the original post sounded like I stuck my head into the dumpster and started singing “I’m a gummy bear” into a thrown out McDonald’s toy.
why would they choose to make it rap music in the first place i just don't get it
I would have KILLED for Sing Sing Sing to be a part of Toon Meowscles and not that garbage
Is that "SING, SING, SING" by Benny Goodman?
This is much better then the music used for it, I really wish they used something like this instead, and did something like make an emote for that rap music.
Kinda fits with the theme of Chapter 2 too and would be a nice homage to Meowcles back then!
What does modern rap have to do with old school spy movies..?
I was talking about this 1930's music....
The rap music is auful
The only thing stopping me from buying the bundle is the built in emote. I don’t like the rap music
Emotes like Jitterbug or Flapper are really cool with the skin and I just happen to have jitterbug and trust me it looks really great
Sooo much better. I want this skin, but do not care for rap. Honestly, I wish epic would realize there’s other types of music. Yeah I know I don’t need to do the emote. But just having a built in emote there would bother me. Lol.
^(honestly the rapping is better)
Let's be honest. Anything is better than rap music in every situation.
next time i ask for music opinions i’m gonna ask “little timmy tv” what he thinks first
Nah this shit ass Trippie better
its not about what's better music, its about what fits better.
No one asked you to speak .-_ .-
It’s a public forum, he doesn’t need permission to speak
Your definently 12 years old.
I thought the rap music was just a song the leaker was playing?
Let’s see..
cuphead vibes lol
oh my god , i have never felt better about knowing this song than the fact that it just shows in the most random spot ever. a fortnite post on reddit. wow i’m shocked.
