Im from brazil, 32 yers old and played streets of rage since my 7 years with my dad. SOR2 was too special for me and your song was nostalgic and amazing hot 🔥
Ainda até hoje essa versão é muito intensa. Já remixaram, fizeram de tudo mas a versão do mister groove aqui ainda supera. Principalmente o dueto na entrada.
...I just can't believe it. Even if different "instruments," hearing this filled me with nostalgia. It takes a virtuoso to capture the essence not of a melody, but of a *moment*. A winner is you.
Christopher Saylor He did rip off some songs beats, but for what he did with the Genesis sound card is pretty amazing! Its still one of the best soundtracks on Genesis regardless. And to top it off, his work on SOR3 was revolutionary and ahead of its time! The guy was talented.
Ah Streets of Rage... brings me back to my childhood where I used to go to arcades. I would play all day until I got hungry, then I would break the Bare Knuckle machines and eat the delicious apples and whole roast chickens that were inside them...
His face on the center right square at 1:44 made eye contact with me right after I just finished dancing like no one was watching, because no was watching. I felt so weird. It felt live, like he could see through the tv into my shame.
Back again years later. Currently 31 now with 2 gremlins. The 2 year old LOOOOOOVES this one! I hear it at least 5 times a day, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Keep makin them bops, friend! #YouBettaSang
Smooth this is amazing. I listened to this like 500 times and still haven't gotten tired of it. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos and I know it's hard but keep doing awesome videos like this. You got yourself a sub :D
This is by far my favorite video by Smooth McGroove. I can't get enough of this song. I've only played this game once, but this song is just too awesome.
Mr. Smooth, I'd love to see you do some more Streets of Rage 2, this was great. Maybe something in a Never Return Alive or Max Man flavour? All the best!
Words cannot describe how much I want Smooth McGroove to release his next album after hearing this. Shame he chose this one over some of the others. Still in my top 3 favourites so well.... hell yes. :P
OH MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID STREETS OF RAGE 2! :) Thank you, dude. Used to LOVE this game! Well, it was practically the only game we had...that and the Jungle Book hahaha
I need to do some serious fixing of what I want shared here. I post a comment on this vid and it posts publicly on my G+ page? Grrrrr!!! Anyway yes, he's fantastic (^-^)
Why doesn't this video have more views? This is amazing, the talent you have is phenomenal. Please, do more street of rage 2(best video game soundtrack)!!!!
I would relish playing SoR whilst listening to this version. If just one in every one hundred videos were of this quality, UA-cam would be close to utopia.
I agree with you. Many people might not appreciate the difference between this and a less polished acapella with less attention to detail...but I sure as hell do. He nails this song 100%.
Can't believe I never saw this until now! Just did a video talking about Streets of Rage 2, and I searched youtube for the soundtrack since it's one of my faves and came across this! Beyond awesome!
Smooth gets lots of praise for his singing and arrangement, and plenty of love for Charl, but how many people give him props for kicking ass on this game on Hard? Good show, Smooth!
Ok, now you only need to make these: - Back to the Industry - Slow Moon - Attack of the Barbarian - Expander - The Return of Mr. X and - Player Select Then you have all the good ones done, on your list.
I'm sure I commented on this before, but I distinctly remember suggesting this one years ago; and when I saw you did it, I was so blown away and happy. Today I'm feeling a bit down; but coming back to this and listening to it, and it's making me feel so much better. Keep doing this, Smooth. You're amazing!
Awesome. Pure, concentrated awesome. Now do the lift level from the factory (I believe it's called "Expander") Or, failing that, the fight with Shiva ("Max Man...?")

vc ta doido
Séloko cachoeira 😎
I'm 35, and also used to play this with my dad. Now I play with my son!
Same location and age bracket here. Can’t wait to play it with kids.
Ainda até hoje essa versão é muito intensa. Já remixaram, fizeram de tudo mas a versão do mister groove aqui ainda supera. Principalmente o dueto na entrada.
We do need more Streets of Rage acapellas. Good version once again McGroove!
Yuzoboy I'm a huge fan of yours too man. I love your stuff I wish it would stay up long enough. 😃
Oh yes, especially the intro music of Street of Rage 2. I always resetted the console just to enjoy the intro music :-D
The Poets would be mad
So true :) I’d love use this music 🎶 in my videos!
Yuzoboy yes please this is one of the best ones
This guy really does understand what groove is, in musical terms.
you got to like it when someone Nicknames themselves stuff that they actually are/can do.
@@CallofDutyBlackOps28 Like when ppl be like what's up killa 😂😂
Awesome. The Streets of Rage series had some of the best music on the Genesis.
I actually copied the soundtrack for streets of rage 2 on to tape deck back in the day lol.. It was pretty awesome.
jason daysh Those were the days. Sega Genesis, tape decks, walk mans. Great memories
On all consoles ever made.
@@ederfonseca9609 I normally wouldn’t agree with this but this song is such a banger that I just have to agree. Such an amazing battle theme
@@ederfonseca9609 On all things ever made.
I don't think most people appreciate how many fucking takes this must have taken to get these.
...I just can't believe it.
Even if different "instruments," hearing this filled me with nostalgia. It takes a virtuoso to capture the essence not of a melody, but of a *moment*.
A winner is you.
Mad props to the most tolerant cat in the world. The human is pretty cool too.
Could you do Go Straight from Streets of Rage 2, also?
hell yeah
Also "Under Logic."
+Standard Prejudice Definitely do Under Logic!
any Street of rage song will be good received, but under logic and wave 131 would be great hehe
alien power, ha ha ha
Streets of Rage 2 - Character selection!
the effect in 1:01 to 1:15 is simply great
love it
Seriously my dude, this is amazing. Please cover more themes from Streets of Rage. You make them sound incredible.
Yes!!!
my childhood just exploded... in a GOOD fuckin'-way..... THANK YOU SMOOTH MCGROOVE!!!!!!!
Wow dude i was singing this along, too many childhood memories *wipes tear from eye
XD nice
I really don't understand why 38 people didn't like this!
i know right
ThePancakeChef
Haters gonna hate... =\
XD yeah
You just won the internet sir.

^Stop watching porn.
NO NEVER
James G what an amazing honor. Rightfully so
@@mehdisimunovic ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)
1:02 That cat dancing on the top screen is the cherry on top of the cake with this video. Great stuff ! 😄👍
My favorite Smooth McGroove track. A travesty that this doesn't have more views compared to his others.
Stage 8 streets Of Rage 1 PLEAAAASE!!!!
+Esculhambation oh yess !
Yes level 8!
Mais um pedido BR
big boss level😂
Slow Moon is a must-do.
Stage 1 theme from the first Streets of Rage would be a great acapella too.
Agreed.
How about Expander?
Obdimus my favorite street s of rage 1 theme is stage 7 the elevator theme.
Grand Uppaahh !!
Kyuuaah!!
FINAL CRASH!
I can't believe I still haven't heard ALL your covers, how could I have missed this one for 7 YEARS!!!!!
Were all the tracks from SoR2 this good? Because this is fantastic.
Yeah, the SOR2 soundtrack is heavily 90's house inspired and each track is pretty catchy.
There were some good soundtracks on Genesis, but SOR2 easily had one of the best! I don't think anyone can really deny that! Yuzo Koshiro was the man!
Christopher Hensley That's because he stole most of his tracks from other artists, particularly Black Box ^_-
Christopher Saylor
He did rip off some songs beats, but for what he did with the Genesis sound card is pretty amazing! Its still one of the best soundtracks on Genesis regardless. And to top it off, his work on SOR3 was revolutionary and ahead of its time! The guy was talented.
look up: Slow Moon, In the Bar, Go straight, my personal favorites of this game! :D
OH, MY GAWD!! I LOVE YUZO KOSHIRO!!! Thank you, Smooth McGroove!! You're the best!!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE THEME FROM THIS GAME.
I'm SO happy I found this guy's channel!!!
THese are AMAZING!!!!
Ah Streets of Rage... brings me back to my childhood where I used to go to arcades. I would play all day until I got hungry, then I would break the Bare Knuckle machines and eat the delicious apples and whole roast chickens that were inside them...
Were they good? I've always wondered how those things tasted
😂😂😂😂
more streets of rage please!
I’m STILL waiting for the Go Straight ! Acapella !!
Yuzo Koshiro! You have to see this!
This video is the first video I've ever seen of yours, and it will always be my favorite💜💜
His face on the center right square at 1:44 made eye contact with me right after I just finished dancing like no one was watching, because no was watching. I felt so weird. It felt live, like he could see through the tv into my shame.
I could listen that all during the day.
This is unlocking core memories from childhood. So great
Back again years later. Currently 31 now with 2 gremlins. The 2 year old LOOOOOOVES this one! I hear it at least 5 times a day, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Keep makin them bops, friend! #YouBettaSang

Loved the music for these games. Yuzo was ahead of his time.
This is by far my favorite video by Smooth McGroove. I can't get enough of this song. I've only played this game once, but this song is just too awesome.
I never really cared for acapella music, but then I heard this. Smooth, you're acapella is the music of the gods. Keep up the good work.
Mr. Smooth, I'd love to see you do some more Streets of Rage 2, this was great. Maybe something in a Never Return Alive or Max Man flavour? All the best!
Yes, that would also be awesome.
Imagine hearing this when you go to disney world.
Joshua Armstrong What, the 'Never Return Alive' bit? ;)
I know this an old video. I still can't wrap my brain how this was even possible. But I love it.
Words cannot describe how much I want Smooth McGroove to release his next album after hearing this. Shame he chose this one over some of the others. Still in my top 3 favourites so well.... hell yes. :P

Anyway yes, he's fantastic (^-^)
Me either! Lol too much work to be private lol
Ever get goosebumps so hard that they hurt? Well, that just happened from all the nostalgia with this game and song.
Love this!
This is great music, you're clearly very talented and the cat just makes it perfect!
acapella is love acapella is life LOL
My favorite theme from SOR2 love it
one of my all time favorited games
Extremely well done. I recommend Go Straight or Violent Breathing.
The way he hits those high notes is what makes these covers worth listening too. Thank you sir
Man, this bring me tears...So nice...
Wow 🤩 adds a whole new dimension to this sound of my childhood favorite game! 😎🏆
My favorite acapella of yours
Simply amazing!! No words to describe this feeling of such an unique stage of my life. Congrats from Brazil, my friend!
Tamo junto mano, feliz em saber que compartilhamos sentimentos
Yuzo Koshiro!
My favorite VGM composer.
Literally just played this with my wife on stream! You got my follow.
You nailed it
dang you murked it
I'd love it if he covered violent breathing. I know he has the kick ass skills to do so.
Intro Theme STREETS OF RAGE please!!!!!
Boss Theme Streets Of Rage PLEASE!!!!!!
Boa!!!
@@marcosandrade9779 Fizeram? Nada né?
@@sostenessf era bom demais :(
@@ADCFproductions com certeza.
The most memorable song in the world for the greatest game ever made.
Why doesn't this video have more views? This is amazing, the talent you have is phenomenal. Please, do more street of rage 2(best video game soundtrack)!!!!
STREETS OF RAGE!!!!! wow!
I'm actually so glad to see someone who loves video game music
One of my favorite games, and one for my favorite songs from it. Yuzo Koshiro ftw!
Please made the acapella of the first level of Streets of Rage 2 ! Its pretty epic !
Go Straight!
Grengis All of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2021 and still enjoying this masterpiece! It´s about time to make another Streets of rage acapella! Amazing!
pfffff amazing!!!!! MASTER!!! one of my favourite game of megadrive or genesis
The best theme of that game!!
Dear God, this is amazing! Congratulations. I´ve lost count on how many times i´ve seen this! Everytime i do is a bliss!
Great job dude! This game had the sickest soundtrack...
johnny0seven street s of rage 1and 2 had the best sound track s but part 3 not to much.
Totally agree! SoR2 is my fave
I would relish playing SoR whilst listening to this version. If just one in every one hundred videos were of this quality, UA-cam would be close to utopia.
I agree with you. Many people might not appreciate the difference between this and a less polished acapella with less attention to detail...but I sure as hell do. He nails this song 100%.
I am replaying SoR 4 and this song came to my mind. This music version is still sick. Awesome work
THIS IS AWESOME!!
I'm not saying I've been listening to this on repeat at work this morning, but then I say a lot of things
Can't believe I never saw this until now! Just did a video talking about Streets of Rage 2, and I searched youtube for the soundtrack since it's one of my faves and came across this! Beyond awesome!
Nossa muito legal mesmo. Minha música favorita do SOR2
Sir you possess an amazing taste in games and music.
Smooth gets lots of praise for his singing and arrangement, and plenty of love for Charl, but how many people give him props for kicking ass on this game on Hard? Good show, Smooth!
jumps on her bed: OMG THANK YOU!! i think i suggested this and hearing brings back memories!!
I'm bringing this guy with my posse when I go to game tournaments! I wonder if he does the boss fight theme too.
I'm sure he can do the boss theme very well
kevins3030
I vote for Max Man. My personal favorite.
Been walking down Nostalgia lane with old Videos i've watched. Feels great to come back to great times and know I wouldn't change anything.
my fav series on the genesis! xD
This is better than the original, not even joking!
Dayum this is rlly good
Definitely need more Street of Rage 1&2, and Street Fighter II themes - no doubt!!
For those who don't know. Smooth is on Spotify.
and iTunes! 3 full albums and I can't wait for a 4th
Oh my god man. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
More streets of rage please smooth!
you turned a classic tune into a legend.
=D
+Cupcom5 Has your cat ever meowed during recording?
Ok, now you only need to make these:
- Back to the Industry
- Slow Moon
- Attack of the Barbarian
- Expander
- The Return of Mr. X and
- Player Select
Then you have all the good ones done, on your list.
Slow moon slaps
That was so perfect. I love this song.
Ooooooyeah now that the shit!!!more street rage 2
this dude would be number one popstar in a fallout universe :D
miss you!!!
Amazing!
LETS GET THIS SHIT REAL THIS GAME HAD THE BEST SOUNDTRACKS OF ANY GAME
I'm sure I commented on this before, but I distinctly remember suggesting this one years ago; and when I saw you did it, I was so blown away and happy. Today I'm feeling a bit down; but coming back to this and listening to it, and it's making me feel so much better. Keep doing this, Smooth. You're amazing!
The cat is the real star here.
Cat's face: Oh god, not again.
I love this! So good! Pure gold. Do Streets of Rage 1 stage 7 please.
Awesome. Pure, concentrated awesome.
Now do the lift level from the factory (I believe it's called "Expander")
Or, failing that, the fight with Shiva ("Max Man...?")
