The GameSpot staff takes its editorializing to the streets, because that's where it's from, and because its corporate sponsors really need to hit that target demographic before Q4 closes out. Aw jeah. Greg gives props to his homeboy Raikoh, Steve drops some English, and Chris freestyles on the news, and that's just for starters. You wanna get in on this movement?
