FULL CAST???
I dont believe that that's the full cast cuz its pose to have aleast 35 rappers. - Royal-22
 * It was also supposed to have 10 more venues, but you don't see them talking about those anymore. Imper1um 06:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * yeah Kudo said aleast 35 artist. i kno theres more venues, cuz i seen one of 2 guys fightin in the street on teh sidewalk. Royal-22 06:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * On gametrailers if you watch the 2 build a label trailers they'll show some more venues such as an apartment and it looks they're fighting in like a hallway. nobody also mentioned the executive suite which also has an instant kill. Go on IGN every week and they'll show videos of venues and its hazards. --67.186.139.224 17:18, 4 March 2007 (UTC)Chewy--67.186.139.224 17:18, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * According to the review of the game in Gamepro Issue 223 "The fact that there are only 8 locales becomes..." There you have it. --Ac2565 21:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
Semi-Protected. Discuss any problems with Semi Protection here. Imper1um 21:09, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Fighting Styles
Jeff Haynes said on IGN Weekley 35 that Capoeira,Wrestling,Muay Thai, and Street Fighting were some of the styles in the game. Somebody needs to post a section specifically for the fighting styles.
 * Until more details about the fighting styles are put up, it is only going to have a placeholder. Imper1um 23:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you to whoever locked it! --Ac2565 16:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Chinese Restaurant
Until someone shows a cited source that the Chinese Restaurant is in the game, do not post it. Removing all references to Chinese Restaurant. Imper1um 07:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The chinese venue was in a earlier gameinformer preview.

James Hong

 * I see he is in the game, but what is his character's name?
 * This probably will not be revealed until the game is released. Imper1um 00:39, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I heard that he's unlocked after you beat story mode. His name is Dr. Chang.

Playable Charecters and Controls
Someone just deleted that Paul Wall is a playable charecter. Paul Wall IS a playable charecter. If you want proof just see who the guy is choosing and he chooses Paul Wall and Kano.


 * Someone deleted controls. The controls are correct. The "proof" is IGN Episode 35. Also in terms of controls RT= R2 LT= L2 and RB and LB = R1 and L1. Please do not delete it becuase this has been already cited.P.S Just because there wasnt a demo released doesnt mean that the controls are incorrect. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ac2565 (talk • contribs) 21:50, 11 February 2007 (UTC).
 * You must cite sources to be keep them added. If you cite your sources, they will not be deleted. Imper1um 14:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I did and them you deleted them... Maybe it would prove to you if you actually watched the video instead of deleting stuff based on speculation? --Ac2565 00:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I would watch a video that was attached. There was no source. --Imper1um 13:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The source is in the video. --Ac2565 16:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, they are now removed. Read: WP:NOT --Imper1um 04:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Xbox 360 achievements
I removed this list, as it is not so much a list of "features" as it is a list of "stuff you can do to get gamerpoints", and amounts to little more than game-guide material.--Drat (Talk) 23:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thats what achievments are for.
 * The list is not complete, you miss 3 secret achivement...
 * I unlocked them all. it seems like the trophies achievements in ffny.

Characters of Def Jam: Icon
Do the characters: D-Mob, Snowman, Pockets, House, Manny, Nyne, Razor, Sketch and Chukklez still exist in Def Jam: Icon? MM 20:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think so.Although,D-Mob might appear in the game.Willie512 23:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I heard that these old Def Jam Vendetta-characters will appear again. R@y 20:08, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Nope, were pretty much set on that list. It's probably not going to change. Imper1um 04:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sign your comments --Ac2565 19:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Why is Mistah F.A.B on the list with a link to the scan with Ice-T?Jayblivion 01:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone take Lil Wayne off that guy is a Created Fighter.
 * I removed him now. Jayblivion 18:18, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * what the f**k somebody took of yung joc from the mutha****in list.
 * Because they thought he was in beacuse he's on the soundtrack. Chewy.

Any fucking singer can join Def Jam. You know, that gonna be good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.81.161.151 (talk) 06:57, 15 December 2007 (UTC) nah man. none of those guys r in the game. fat joe is though, thats all i kno. i can't unlokk him tho, its impossible —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.226.157.22 (talk) 23:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thats not Eminem. Somebody take it off. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.54.97.142 (talk) 23:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC).
 * Eminem is in it you just got to get him off xbox live or whatever ps3 you got. you can also get jay z, nas, 50cent, yung joc,songs and much much more.
 * Jayz isn't in the game or 50 or m&m. not sure about nas.
 * None of them are signed to Def Jam, I don't think. Oh, and sorry I don't have an account.
 * Jay-z is signed to def jam, in fact, we was the president of it, nas is, in fact, hip hop is dead is his first album with them. eminem isn't —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.167.254.68 (talk) 01:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Dumb niggas
Whoever the **** Krondon is he isnt in it. The people who adopted this are dumb and ***. Krondon and Mistah Fab aint in it. Bunch of ****ing losers Pootman 20:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC).
 * Calm down. This has been happening since the game was first announced,--Ac2565 00:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Krondon is supposedly the bald white guy in the orange vest, google (image) him. Jayblivion 01:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Gota be a little blunt sometimes cuz people keep on putting false information, despite it's locked state. The game comes out tomoarrow, and I'll put up the final information in the morning, so I'll cya guys tomoarrow morning. Right now, I'm tired. Oh yeah, stop cursing. Imper1um 04:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[INFO LOCKED] (Mar 6)
Do not change any information until release (Mar 6). Were going to leave it like this until we can play the 360 game. Pretty much, I'm almost willing to remove all of the confirmed characters information since were all basing it on pictures. What if they were created characters used? That's what I'm wondering. I've seen the videos for Create Character processes and they seem pretty complex, so it might be a Dev making someone almost like it, but they may not be in the game, and no one has produced a final list. Imper1um 14:25, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Its pretty much safe to say every charecter that has pic of themselves during gameplay (like Tego Calderon)is a confirmed charecter. You do not need proof except a pic of them.
 * Yeah, you do. The information has changed over the entire time. Read the magizines, they released info too early too specific and they probably cut it. We'll find out in a few hours. Imper1um 03:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * What is your point? They cannot possibly cut charecters in a game unless they only are in a pre game step. You will see this when you buy the game. --Ac2565 20:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

If anyone is wondering why I changed the date from the 6th to the 8th.....
I just watched a commercial saying it was coming out on the 8th and I went to the official website and it said the same thing.Willie512 02:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * [] Pre-release ships March 6. Were going to have to note this when it comes out. Gamestop always gets things early. Imper1um 03:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh.Willie512 22:08, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Girlfriends/Platinum
Can someone find the actual names and playable names of the Girlfriends? I'm too tired to rememberwho they are. ty Imper1um 14:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Solved. Imper1um 01:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Platinum is voiced by Gabrielle Union
 * i ONLY ENDED the game with 3 girls not including platinum. Chewy. i swore mylessa ford was one of the girls. chewy.
 * Melyssa Ford, yes. Imper1um 02:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Yung Joc
Does any body knows if Joc is in the game? he's song "It's Going Down" is in the game, but he does seem to be playable. Does anyone knows if he's a unlockable? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dro Boy (talk • contribs) 04:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC).
 * No he is not unlockable. Just because his song is in the game doesnt mean they are. Same thing for Nas.--70.23.20.106 17:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

* And M.O.P. Xionoid 02:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC) he on the case of the game he shoulda been on it

12 Signable Artists.
There are only 12 Signable Artists. In each BaL, there is three stages. In each game, there is a 'pool' that is set in the beginning of the game (reloading just before the signing won't change it). Each pool has four artists which can cycle through the four positions. Only two artists are signable in that BaL, and the other two are automatically rival artists. An Artist that is not chosen during a signing becomes a Rival artist. So, we have two extra Signable Artists...Hmm. Let's see if I can fix that. Imper1um 12:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ahh, yes. Bun B cannot be signed. Imper1um 12:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Achievments

Its 100 taunts online not 50.

Demo also available on PSN.
The 360 Marketplace demo mentioned is also available on the Playstation Network. Might want to change that.

The two locked songs
I think it should be noted in the article that "Make It Rain" by Fat Joe and "It's Goin Down" by Yung Joc are locked songs and can only be activated with a code, and how to do the codes:

from gamewinners.com:

It's Goin Down by Yung Joc track: Press B, Up, Right, Left, Y when "Press Start" appears at the title screen. gangstachaldo14.

Make It Rain by Fat Joe track: Press Down, B, A, Right when "Press Start" appears at the title screen.

Play as Fat Joe: Enable the "It's Going Down by Yung Joc track" and "Make It Rain by Fat Joe track" codes. After both codes are active, Fat Joe is playable. However progress with him cannot be saved.

It should also be noted that "Make It Rain" has been edited to remove fellow rapper Lil' Wayne's parts. tht gay lil wayne made it good

Reception
Added a reception section. It would be awesome if we could find how the hip hop press/community took/rated this game, but what is there now is a good start JayKeaton 19:23, 4 April 2007 (UTC) someone should also mention that gamespot reviewed both 360 and ps3 a 8.1

Alternate Attires

 * I swore there used to be alternate costumes for The Game and T.I, but i never saw them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.186.139.224 (talk) 20:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC).

That Def Jam 4 stuff
Does anyone have any proof of this game's existence? Jayblivion 23:36, 1 July 2007 (UTC) That Def Jam 4 stuff was a fake. 76.223.162.246 12:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

who has proof of def jam street legend

Cover artist
Who's that on the cover? Looks kinda like T.I. --Josh1billion (talk) 04:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC) thts yung joc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.10.40 (talk) 22:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC) it's diddy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.226.157.22 (talk) 23:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
