Very easy. Simply assign an effect to before starting a song and press on the PS3 Controller during one of your performances. The trophy will pop right away.

One of the most difficult trophies in the game, as you are required to play on Expert difficulty and achieve an “Off The Chain” or 5-Mic Performance. It is possible to combine this with ‘All Eyez On Me’. My suggestion is to pick your very best song. Personally, I used Method Man & Mary J. Blige’s “You’re All I Need” since the singing parts are so easy it’s like free points.

This will come naturally while going for ‘Microphone Fiend!’. You’ll get anywhere from 100,000 to 400,000 points when you get 5-Mic performances. With 61 5-Mic performances required, you’ll easily get this before finishing the Platinum. This can all be done on Easy difficulty.

I recommend doing this after completing all of the other trophies which require two microphones (‘Playa President’, ‘Towering Over The Competition’, ‘Close Call’, ‘No Competition’, ‘We Are The Best’ & ‘Rhymes Are On Time’). After completing those, you should have about 20 performances left to do. Simply plug in the second mic and set up a long playlist with a short song like “We Fly High” or “Rockwilder”. Just set the microphones down and let them play while pressing twice at the end of each song. You cannot fail a song, so no matter how bad you do it’ll still count as a performance. You can also check your progress towards this trophy in the Extras, Player Stats section at the main menu.

This is one of the most difficult trophies in the game to get since it is basically the culmination of the entire Career Mode. The nice thing is that you can play on Easy for all of the songs, although I'd recommend trying them on Hard first so you can get enough performances for the 'Unstoppable' trophy. Basically, you need to get an “Off The Chain” (5-Mic) Performance on every single song and challenge in all 5 Stages of the Game. This is essentially 61, 5-Mic Performances (45 Songs and 16 Challenges).

Tips for 305 Mics:
Practice. Seriously. The only ones that really gave me trouble were Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" and the 75 word in a row challenges (Twista, Children's Story). With "Push It", some of the timing with the "Ah, Push It" parts is a little screwy and the song doesn't have that many lyrics in general, which gives little room for error. With the "Ah, Push It" parts, just say it in a louder tone, rather than the almost whispering tone they do in the actual song. It simply takes practice and you'll eventually get it. With the 75-word challenges, this takes a lot of practice and a bit of luck as well. The Twista one can be intimidating, but just practice it enough for the timing and you can mumble a lot of your way through it if you can't keep up with all the words. Just make sure your mumbling is fast enough that it still registers on one of the gold circles. The nice thing about these challenges is that the lyrics and pitch do not matter, it's all about getting the gold circles by any means necessary.

Simply log-in to the Def Jam Community and pick out a random video performance or one of your own. Pull it up with , then press and repeat 49 more times. The trophy will pop right away.

Once you have your PS3 Eye plugged in it will automatically record any performance that you do from that point forward. Plug in your PS3 Eye at the main menu, then go to Play, then Freestyle. Here you should pick a beat and it will start recording you. You really only need to record for one second, then press , keep the recording, then press twice, go to Save & Exit, type in a name “Test1” for example, then press . This will save the recording to your PS3 hard drive. As long as you have created an online account and you are signed into the PlayStation Network, it will ask you if you want to upload the video. You should do this since you will need 10 uploads for the ‘Ain’t Scared To Share It’ trophy anyway. Also, while saving any of the videos you will have the option to add Video Effects. Be sure to do this to one of your videos for the ‘It’s Like Showbiz’ trophy.

See ‘Hype’d Up’

From the main menu, go to Play, then Party mode. Simply create a playlist by pressing on a song, then select Add To Playlist from the menu. Add 10 songs that you know you can 5-Mic on Easy difficulty, then press to launch your playlist. The ‘Get The Party Started Right’ trophy will pop within seconds of the first song starting up. It’s best to combine this with the other playlist trophies (‘Chain Reaction’, & ‘Go The Distance’), so I’d recommend picking easy songs to get them all together.

I recommend saving this trophy for the very last. Throughout all the performances, 305 mics, etc. you should probably have around 100-150 performances. So, to get the rest of them, simply set up a long playlist with a short song like “We Fly High” or “Rockwilder”. Just set the microphone down and let them play while pressing twice at the end of each song. You cannot fail a song, so no matter how bad you do it’ll still count as a performance. You can check your progress towards this under Extras, Player Stats at the main menu.

Once you have your PS3 Eye plugged in it will record videos automatically. Simply Save 10 of your performances or freestyles (1-30 seconds worth) and upload them all to the Community. For ‘Immaculately Polished’, simply pick out your best song, make sure the PS3 Eye is plugged in, perform it, and then upload the video to the Community. It’s best to combine these trophies with the other PS3 Eye Trophies (‘Scorch The Booth’, ‘Lyrical Player Pro’ & ‘Hyped Up’).

If you followed the Road Map above, this should already be done or very close to done. Personally, I just tried every song during the Career on Hard first and if I didn’t get 5-Mics, I re-did the song on Easy. Another way to get this would be just to go to Party Mode, create a playlist and put on the shortest song you can 3-Mic on Hard difficulty over and over again.

The challenge trophies will happen naturally while working towards the ‘Microphone Fiend!’ trophy above. All the challenges are basically variations of the songs with a different specific criteria required to finish the song (points, multipliers, timing, multiple songs, etc.).

With the 75-word challenges, they just take a lot of practice and a bit of luck as well. The Twista one can be intimidating but just practice it enough for the timing and you can mumble a lot of your way through it if you can't keep up with all the words. Just make sure your mumbling is fast enough that it still registers on one of the gold circles. The nice thing about these challenges is that the lyrics and pitch do not matter, it's all about getting the gold circles by any means necessary.

This was one of the most difficult trophies for me because you have to pick a song that has some sort of singing in it. I ended up getting it with “Juicy” by The Notorious B.I.G. because there is minimal singing and I could rap that song in my sleep. It is just a matter of time, practice and patience to get it on a song you are good at. I almost got it with Method Man & Mary J. Blige’s “You’re All I Need” since the singing parts are so easy it’s like free points.

See ‘Ain’t Scared To Share It’

Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go to Party mode, then pick out your best song, select DUET, select Hard difficulty, and rap into BOTH microphones at the same time. You are trying to get an “Off The Chain” or 5-Mic performance for the trophy.

Another one of the most difficult trophies in the game, as you are required to play on Expert difficulty with NO LYRICS in front of you. You only have to achieve an “On Point” or 3-Mic Performance though. It is possible to combine this with ‘Seal the Deal’. My recommendation here is to pull up the lyrics on the Internet or Youtube and just rap/sing along. Personally, I used Method Man & Mary J. Blige’s “You’re All I Need” since the singing parts are so easy it’s like free points.

This is time consuming, but can be self-boosted very easily on your own account just by clicking on your video in the My Videos section of the Community, by pulling up your video with and backing out with over and over again. You do not actually have to view the video; you just have to pull it up and it counts as a view. You will see the view count increase real-time and it will take you about 2 hours of doing this non-stop to get to 2,000 views. The trophy will pop within seconds of getting to 2,000 views.

This can be self-boosted by creating a sub-account in your XMB. Basically, you have to make sure you have a recent video uploaded with your main account then you need to log into your second account and try to find that video in the Recent Videos section of the Community. There is no search function currently in the Community so you have to just scroll through the Recent Videos section until you find it. They should be in time/date order of when you uploaded it, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find. This gave me a lot of trouble because you have to wait enough time for it to make it out to the community after you've uploaded it, then when I was pulling up the Recent Videos it kept kicking me out of the game and back into the XMB. I'm not sure if it was a traffic issue on the Community or what, but just plan to have a lot of time and patience when attempting this. After about 20 tries/restarts to get to my video, I was finally able to get to it and rate it. Rating it takes a solid 30-45 minutes of pulling up the video with , then pressing , scrolling to the right so it's 4-5 stars, then pressing again, back out with , then repeat. You will get the trophy when you log back into your main account, load up the game, sign into PSN, and go into the Community.

Very easy. Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go into Party mode, then pick out your best song, select DUET, and rap into ONLY the 1st Player’s microphone. Set the 2nd Player’s microphone on the floor or somewhere further away from where you are. Make sure it is the 1st Player’s microphone you are using because this will not work if you outscore the 1st Player with the 2nd Player’s microphone. You must beat your opponent by 50,000 points, which should be very easy since the 2nd Player should get 0 points.

Similar to ‘Playa President’ above. Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go into Party mode, then pick out your best song, select BATTLE, and rap into ONLY the 1st Player’s microphone. Set the 2nd Player’s microphone on the floor or somewhere further away from where you are. Make sure it is the 1st Player’s microphone you are using because this will not work if you outscore the 1st Player with the 2nd Player’s microphone. You must beat your opponent by 50,000 points, which should be very easy since the 2nd Player should get 0 points.

Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go into Party mode, then pick out your best song, select BATTLE, and rap into ONLY the 1st Player’s microphone for just the first few words. Set the 2nd Player’s microphone on the floor or somewhere further away from where you are. Make sure it is the 1st Player’s microphone you are using because this will not work if you outscore the 1st Player with the 2nd Player’s microphone.

Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go to Party mode, then pick out your best song, select BATTLE, and rap into BOTH microphones at the same time. You are trying to hit 25 rap targets in a row (the gold bubbles at the bottom and top of the screen). You can do this on Easy difficulty.

Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go into Party mode, then pick out your 5 best songs, select BATTLE, and rap into ONLY the 1st Player’s microphone for just the first few words of each song and then you can set the mic down. Set the 2nd Player’s microphone on the floor or somewhere further away from where you are. Make sure it is the 1st Player’s microphone you are using because this will not work if you outscore the 1st Player with the 2nd Player’s microphone.

Fairly simple to get and you will get it while going for the 305 Mics. You just need to activate the 8x Multiplier during a song 4 different times. This is easiest on a longer song, like “Fight The Power”.

This can be done on Easy and you may get it on the way to the 305 Mics. Pick your best song in either Career mode or Party mode and do the best performance you can. You can view the details of the song after you are finished to see where you may have missed any Dope lyrics.
