Essentially have to if they want to keep their E rating, if they didn't censor you'd have none of these songs at all.

I went and created this playlist on Spotify and so far the mix of songs on this playlist is active! It should vibe well while we game. What's your favorite 2K soundtrack of all time? Mine is 2K10..

Hard to pick one but the run from 2k10-2k12 is the pinnacle IMO. A healthy blend of genres, songs you've heard of, new artists, etc.

As a primary hip-hop fan 2k6 was great but I like hearing a few different genres which I felt 2k finally got right in the early 00s.

Agreed. I'll always miss the eclectic group of up-and-comers mixed with some established folks. 2K's soundtracks used to serve as a sampler, where I could hear and listen to unique acts that were often out of my comfort zone, leading to new interests and appreciation.

That said, again, considering where we've stood with the soundtracks the past two years, I think this year's looks pretty solid by comparison. We'll have to see how quickly the familiar ones wear on me ("Personal Jesus", "That Thing", "Spiderwebs", "Dangerous", amongst others). In the very small amount of time I played 2K14, even after removing the tracks from the menu playlist, I was still ready to pull my hair out after hearing "Started from the Bottom" and "Not Afraid" during every break in on-court action.

Why are you sad there's no Nas or Eminem? Can you even understand what they are saying with the game bleeping out every two words?

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the point of putting rap music in an E rated video game. Idk about you, but I can't listen to a song where the game bleeps out everything that's said, it's pointless.

Exactly why I don't listen to the radio, censored music is terrible.

I listened to the spotify playlist while playing The Show, and I actually like it. I was hoping for a bit more variety, but I think it turned out well.

Nice! I'll have to check out 2K6's playlist. I came on board the 2K wagon after a church mission so 2K10 was my first time after switching over from Live.
