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

*2k meeting* Producer: Alright guys, we need to come up with a big announcement. Something that'll really incite the fans. 2k employee: Hmmmmm... presentation upgrades? Producer: No... 2k employee: Some new gameplay features? Producer: Nope. 2k employee: I have an idea... a soundtrack? Producer: *SLAMS HANDS ON TABLE* BRILLIANT! CALL JAY-Z!

While I'm personally not upset and very pleased it would seem reasonable to outline the extent of this soon rather than later if possible especially after the long wait and "hype" that people are talking about.

I have a feeling that as soon as we heard that Jay-Z was executive producing the game, guys started getting ready to be outraged at the announcement and then unloaded into this thread all at once.

All fans need are gameplay videos and designer diaries and suddenly there will be hope again in the land of OS, I guarantee it my worried posters.

So the soundtrack consists of Jay-Z, Kanye West and some fillers? Come on 2K

Me personally I didn't think it was something ridicules like college hoops or football. It's a soundtrack, will likely be turned off or replaced by personally music. Me personally I just turn the game down and blast my music, when I play 2k. I know you can't go into detail but why even announce it, if you can't fully explain the thing that was announced?

I've grown up on jay-z and I can listen to any of his songs and I'm still not hyped. I can only imagine how someone that doesn't like rap feels about this. SMH

This is pretty disappointing, and not something I expected from the likes of 2K and their NBA team.

Pretty poor show boys, regardless of what comes after.

THIS is the big announcement??? Yea only if your a Jay-Z die hard... which I am not (Nas fan). Very disappointed 2k!!! EA finally beat them at something because the Infinity Engine was a real BIG announcement. At least I get to save $59.99

Damn that's a great selection, the winner is Hov! lol.

And smdh at everybody bitching & crying, no that's not the big announcement, MJ is gonna announce the big news. This is why we can never have good things, that soundtrack sounds like the best since Live 03/04.
