I will admit that I am the least qualified person to report on this. Aside from the fact that I'm simply a videogame blogger and not a journalist, my knowledge of DJing starts and ends with hitting shuffle on my iPod. Regardless, DJ Jazzy Jeff will be a playable character in the new DJ Hero game from Activision.

“I am very, very excited DJ culture is finally getting its due.  To have a song in DJ Hero is a dream come true; to be a character someone can pick up the controller and select you and play is probably the biggest thing to happen to me in my career,” said DJ Jazzy Jeff.  “Music is so much a part of everyone’s life, DJ Hero is going to appeal to almost everybody.”

Things I learned today. DJ Jazzy Jeff is a real DJ. DJ Jazzy Jeff is a Grammy winning real DJ. DJing is considered a talent and a profession. All DJs use Macbook Pros (Will confirm whether they actually use iTunes and Playlists). DJ Shadow, DJ Z-Trip, Grandmaster Flash and DJ AM all appear along side DJ Jazzy Jeff in Activision's Dj simulator. Lindsay Lohan's missus DJ Samantha Ronson does not.

Anybody looking forward to this game? Will you fork out hundreds of dollars for a Fisher Price scratching peripheral?
