There's always a head scratcher on these soundtracks and for me it's Drop It Like It's Hot. I think it's more baffling by the fact that you have an entire catalog of Snoop songs that could easily be awesome to bump to while playing 2K and that's the one chosen?
I know obviously not all of them are family friendly but you can edit them like ones in the past. Not bad overall though.
I think " team " by Lorde is the biggest head scratcher of this soundtrack
Not really, though it has been interpreted that way. This is how the man who wrote the song described it (Martin Gore, the founding member of Depeche Mode):
"It's a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It's about how Elvis was her man and her mentor and how often that happens in love relationships; how everybody's heart is like a god in some way, and that's not a very balanced view of someone, is it?"
Here's a link if you want to know a little more about it:
Hip Hop is the culture of the sport. I would love to see them reflect that, but with independent artists as others have mentioned. The best option would be to offer a customized soundtrack then everybody is happy.
^ That Team song is not that bad after hearing it twice now lol.
After letting it run for the past 2 hours, I have to say it's not that great. I can't believe LeBron made a better selection than my man Pharrell SMH.
So much good so far but they dropped the ball on this part of 2k15, also Aloe Blacc - The Man would of been perfect and some other more recent songs would of been good fit.
Love the soundtrack for sure, there are more none hip hop songs that I like on this one. When I could I would stop most songs from playing and just play the songs I really liked. Have to say when I get to the point of getting tired of the songs I turn them off anyway.
With this sound track when I get to that point Planet Rock, Scenario, Shut'Em Down and Set it Off will be the only songs I have playing...won't get tired of those classic gems.
For all those younger than me if you're playing the game and "Mama Used To Say" or "Set It Off" comes on you may see your parents come in and start dancing. Hahaha...
