Pharrell Williams to Curate NBA 2K15 Soundtrack - Official Cover Art Revealed

[Eman5805]

Should mean Universal Mind Control'll probalby be on there too. Not the Common song I'd hope for, but eh.

Should be interesting, all the same.

Man I love System. Hope some more metal/rock makes it.

Well they just said that Happy is not on the soundtrack on the stream

Jeesh 40 is not that old guys ..lol. Trust me the rumors about the grim reaper anxiously following you around
once you hit the big 4-0 is an urban legend..lol

on topic...Pharrell can arrange some great instrumentals so music should be solid

Steve tweeted that Happy WILL NOT be on 2k15 soundtrack 👍😃

[The 24th Letter]

Cool.

Didn't see why it was a big deal anyway,

I wasn't trying to imply 40 is that old - I'm still older than he is. I was just surprised that he might be close to 40; I've always viewed him as relatively young(er). Either way I agree the music should be pretty good. I think he's an awesome choice; imo 2K's always done a good job of staying ahead of the curve in allowing the game to have a "hip" feel and not grow stale.

Not sure why Happy being included was such a big deal either. While it wouldn't be appropriate as game introduction music, as part of a bigger/diverse soundtrack it shouldn't have been an issue. I'd guess if NBA draft picks were allowed to pick their own walk up music (similar to NFL draft picks a few months ago), a few of them might've picked Happy too

Ugh, my least favorite word in the music industry. It's like they just got lazy naming genres, so they were like, "It's just too much work. Just take all of this stuff and name it random, or how about Alternative?! Yeah, lets go with that."
