*Welcome back to the Rap Map, where we speak with rappers about videogames. Today we’re talking with Mr. Don Trip, whose* Stepbrothers*, a collaborative mixtape with the rapper Starlito, won heavy acclaim throughout the rap world.*

**What games do you play?**  
Mostly sports. *NBA2k*, *Madden*, *NCAA*. Other than that, I’m pretty much into *Call of Duty*, *Medal of Honor*. Any first-person shooter. I like realistic ones. I ain’t a fan of *Gears of War*, or the one with all the aliens. I ain’t cool with aliens.

**Why not? What draws you to more realistic games?**  
I don’t know. I like war movies, I guess, so that’s probably what draws me to the first-person shooters. As for sports, I’m a little athletic. I’m not Kobe Bryant, but I can play.

**Would you ever want to be a playable character in a game?**  
Of course. Doesn’t matter what game it is.

**What’d you play when you were younger?**  
I used to play a lot of wrestling games, I’m probably going back too far, but I was into *WCW No Mercy*. *Smackdown vs. Raw*, there’s a couple of them I got. I grew up on *Madden* and *NBA Live*.

**You also made the *Stepbrothers* mixtape with Starlito that got a lot of attention. How did you guys get hooked up on that?**  
Actually, our relationship started because of videogames. When I first met him, I was at his studio, and he was recording, and when he finished, I wound up beating him in a game, and when he been holding a vendetta ever since, so he make it his duty to beat me in whatever we playing.

**When you guys rap together, is there a element of friendly competition?**  
Of course it’s there, but we do that no matter what song we’re doing. I think that’s why we get along so well in the songs is that I know he’s going to go give it his all, so I do it too.

**Would you say that relationship is different when you’re playing games?**  
I would say so. Of course in a game, I’ve got to win. He my people, but I can’t let him win.

**When you rap, how often do you find references to games coming into your lyrics?**  
It ain’t too often. I play a couple games that I know people aren’t too fond of, like *Red Dead Redemption*. They think you’re crazy when you come into the room and you’re playing a Western.

**That game’s like *Grand Theft Auto*, but with cowboys in it, right?**  
Yeah. It’s got pros and cons. It’s cool that it’s a Western, but you can get anywhere faster in a car than on a horse.

*Check back next week, when we chat with Starlito about his favorite games. You can download* Stepbrothers *[here](http://www.datpiff.com/Don-Trip-Starlito-Stepbrothers-mixtape.255304.html?ref=killscreen.com).*
