Our friends at Activision have dropped a couple more cool videos from the upcoming game DJ Hero on us and we’ve decided, since you’ve been so good lately, to share them with you. These new ones showcase more of the fun that can be had when playing the upcoming DJ Hero game and feature an appearance from one of the greatest entertainers of all time: Grandmaster Flash.

The other video is more “educational” and, well, tries to teach you a little something about the game. As we’ve previously shown you, this game looks very cool and, unfortunately for someone like myself still mastering Guitar Hero, complicated but definitely worth playing.  DJ Hero let’s you “scratch and mix the hottest hits” and comes to all next gen consoles on later this year.

Check them both of the new videos after the jump.

With all the news of comics, movies and TV coming out of San Diego over the last four days, we can’t forget that there’s also game news to be concerned with. Speaking of games, Activision just announced that DJ Jazzy Jeff will be bringing his unique brand of skills to their upcoming DJ Hero game.

Here’s all the 411 from the official Activision press release. Also, be sure to check out the trailer for the game, featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff himself, after the jump.

DJ Jazzy Jeff, GRAMMY Award winning hip-hop and R&B record producer, actor and world famous turntablist will ascend to the virtual stage this fall in Activision Publishing, Inc. and Guitar Hero’s  highly anticipated video game DJ Hero.  In addition to joining the distinguished rank of playable characters that will appear in the game, including DJ Shadow, DJ Z-Trip, Grandmaster Flash, DJ AM and others, DJ Jazzy Jeff will shake the room and bring the party to life with his own set list featuring two exclusive mixes hand created by the legend himself – Tears for Fears “Shout” vs. Eric B. & Rakim “Eric B. Is President” and LL Cool J “Rock the Bells” vs. The Aranbee Pop Symphony Orchestra “Bittersweet Symphony.”
