2K Sports Announces Jay-Z as NBA 2K13 Executive Producer, 24 Song Soundtrack Included

[BegBy]

A gaming company who has sold millions and millions of games based on quality and their reputation states their biggest announcement ever is basically music?

I couldn't possibly be more underwhelmed and disappointed. Yet, not surprised.

Hmmm now I'm wondering why didn't he produce any exclusive music for 2k13, maybe that would've held more interest to some. Jay can write a 16 quick I'm sure, knock out about 5 songs and sell it as bonus music cd with it. Now where thinking marketing Dept!!

Like others have said we have these songs already just seems like they paid him for his name at this point. LD2K been my boy since he was making laker mixes back in the day, so I'ma roll with him and wait and see. I just really hope Jay actively plays the game and can improve other areas or atleast give good feedback.

Yeah I thought we would see at least 2-3 brand new songs for the soundtrack.

It did say he called them up at night giving them his ideals for the game. He seems like a good business man. I am sure he doesnt just want his name on the game to sell it more. He will give his input and ideals for the game. It is like making a investment in something. You just dont want to put money into something, unless you know can get some enjoyment out of it

I'm a little disappointed that the announcement isn't something better but this has to be the best soundtrack that I have seen in a sports game ever. Jay Z, Nas, Biggie, Kanye, Mobb Deep, and throw in Daft Punk all on the same soundtrack people may hate it but I'm feelin this.

this announcement doesnt benefit me at all, i dont even listen to the music in 2k, i alway cut the music sliders to zero........

Big names means big news nowadays. Liked the news, but it was over hyped. Underwhelming to say the least.

I'm with you bro I was like wtf cuz I'm not even a huge JayZ fan either (2Pac) but we gotta look at this as not being geared towards us. JayZ brings money and dude is considered one of the best, to have his named stamped is huge for em. I'm praying like the rest of my brethren here that they got something in store as far as gameplay goes. Scratch that...man I just want online to work Please 2K!!!! lol

Why the heck is Coldplay's “Viva La Vida” on there? It is soooo played out. Maybe it's a Jay-Z remix like the Coldplay/Jay-Z - Lost remix. There should been at least one Lupe Fiasco song off his upcoming album (Food and Liquor 2 dropping Sept 25) on there.
