Call of Duty 20th Anniversary Meets Hip-Hop 50: Celebrating the Merger of Two Cultural Forces

As Call of Duty marks its 20th anniversary, we take a moment to acknowledge its longstanding connection with the world of Hip-Hop. The iconic franchise has not only been a powerhouse in the gaming industry but has also been a platform for celebrating Hip Hop culture. From featuring classic Hip-Hop tracks in trailers to enlisting Hip-Hop artists as playable characters, Call of Duty has made its mark on the genre.

The journey began with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in 2009, coincidentally on Nov. 10th, which used Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” featuring Nate Dogg in its launch trailer. The game also incorporated four Hip Hop tracks playing on a Humvee radio during the campaign.

In subsequent releases, Call of Duty continued its embrace of Hip-Hop, featuring tracks such as Eminem’s “Won’t Back Down” in Black Ops, and LL COOL J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” in Warzone Reveal Trailer. The list of Hip Hop songs in the Call of Duty universe expanded over the years, adding to the game’s immersive experience.

Beyond the music, Call of Duty brought Hip Hop artists into the game as voice actors and playable characters. Ice Cube, who played Joseph Bowman in the original Black Ops, set the precedent, and Snoop Dog joined as his playable character in WWII-themed Vanguard and Modern Warfare II. Now, the tradition continues with the addition of 21 Savage and Nicki Minaj in Modern Warfare III, reinforcing the deep connection between Hip Hop and Call of Duty.
