Did you know GTA San Andreas NPCs based on Musicians #shorts

In this GTA gaming short, we ask Did you know some of the NPCs in GTA San Andreas were based on Musicians such as Eazy-E, Kurt Cobain, and LL Cool J?

If you didn't see Eazy E in Ryder your jus a different kind of special

[azure]

I usually beat up that red guy because of how annoying he is in-game 😂

[venomark]

The times ive killed LL Cool J in GTA is ungodly💀

[carriepraytor]

San Andreas is probably the most iconic gta game out there even after 20 years. Now thats an achievement fr.

Big smoke = notorious big
Sweet = ice cube
Madd Dogg = Snoop dogg

50 Cent was originally who Rockstar wanted to play the role of CJ (Carl Johnson/Curtis Jackson) but 50 turned down the part and decided to star in his own game (Bullet Proof) instead. The part ultimately went to Young Malay and the character of CJ was changed and modeled around him.

[tMe]

Sweet is based on ice cube
Madd Dog is obviously based on snoop dogg

[eddiecongdon]

You forgot there is a black NPC found in the casinos that looks alot like will smith

[PenguinMan]

RIP Kurt Cobain and Eazy-E. You will be remembered 😢

[Oxzziie]

Dead ass I got a Kurt cobain short right after this one

[AntwunTheDancer]

I never knew the Kurt Cobain one. And I always called that guy LL Cool J. It's cool to see the direct inspiration after all these years

[TheGameHaven-jhrz]

Rockstar knew what they were doing when they were making the game

[Crashpng]

This is what was so cool about the 3D era GTAs would make you feel like you were playing in a movie

[tabytrujillo]

The fact that a snake like Ryder was eazy e video game debut is a little rage inducing

[Yonkou]

Man i knew Ryder was eazy e but why he won’t rap 🗿

[ranacaran]

I knew it was Kurt Cobain, never had courage to say it out loud

[anthonyernst]

I always thought Smoke was based on B.I.G

[randomguy]

"rest in peace to the memory of eazy e"

[BlaiseTighe]

Sweet is Ice Cube, CJ is Dr Dre, Big Smoke is E 40, there's an NPC that looks like Cuba Gooding JR.. there's definitely more too

[seriouscyrus]

There's also the black dude in the yellow button up with the fade that was based off of Dre (Cuba Gooding Jr.) from Boyz in the Hood.
