Remember DJ Jazzy Jeff? If you were born after 1989, the answer is probably a resounding “No!”. He’s a disc jockey most notable for launching a music career alongside Will Smith and then being nowhere near as successful as him. He will also be a playable character in the upcoming music game DJ Hero. Activision sent out a press release this morning detailing Jazz’s appearance in the game, as well as the fact that there will be a DJ Jazzy Jeff playlist. Are you ready to party like it’s the early 90s?

"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… Music is so much a part of everyone's life, DJ Hero is going to appeal to almost everybody."

If I cared about DJ culture at all, I would probably be more excited about DJ Hero, but nothing about this game has appealed to me yet. Of course, I haven’t gotten my hands on it either, so that might change everything. As you probably already know, DJ Hero will be out this holiday season for the 360, PS3, Wii, and PS2. Is Jazzy Jeff’s cameo enough to get you to spend $120 on the game and peripheral?
