Re: Which NBA 2k game has the best soundtrack so far?

I think through and through, NBA 2K10 was the soundtrack that offered the most thorough replayability on my end. It featured the following tracks. The italics were songs I honestly didn't mind and the bold were songs I actually ended up adding to my musical collection at some point:

Ace Hood - Top of the World
Adam Tensta - My Cool
Akala - The Edge (This one kind of began to wear on me I guess)
Al Kapone - Rock This
Chali2na - Lock it Down (Instrumental)
Chali2na – International (feat. Beenie Man)
Donnie Bravo - Run Away
Duo Live - Shootin
Flo Rida - ROOTS (even though I initially thought it was a song about roofs)
Iglu & Hartly - In this City
Illinois - Hang On
Izza Kizza - They’re Everywhere
K’naan - Wavin’ the Flag
Kanye West - Amazing
Kenan Bell - Like This
Matisyahu - One Day
Metric - Help I’m Alive
Metronomy - Radio Ladio
MGMT - Electric Feel
Miike Snow - Black & Blue
Naïve New Breeders - Can’t Choose
Ratatat - Falcon Jab
Ratatat - Mirando
Saul Williams - List of Demands (Reparations)
Sportsrushaz - Iron
The Game - Champion (Exclusive and original track)
The Moog - Joyclad Armies
Vincent Van Go Go - Do You Know

Merely from a standpoint of how many songs I didn't feel moved to knock off my playlist after the first week of play, I think that makes 2K10 my favorite soundtrack. Though, I still get a little sentimental when I hear the Sportscenter highlight music from NBA 2K3:

NBA 2k13 -- I mess with Hov so I'm happy with the soundtrack he picked.

You got to be kidding me? He picked OLD songs which everyone already knows. His list is horrible, he added songs of his own obviously, then some of his BFF Kanye and then some other rappers he's friends with. And then he added coldplay with a f#cking horrible song, which isn't even their best or most fitting one for a basketball game.


Games like this should add upcoming stuff, songs before they are well known or played on the radio constantly. That's not going to be the case this year. The song that won the 2K12 contest and got featured is so good, they're not doing that so bummer. We're missing out on good stuff.

NBA 2K11. 2K10 a close second. I dislike many of 2K12's songs.

I also disliked many of 2K12's songs. Using the same formula as my last post (bolded = songs I acquired, italics songs I was okay with):

Eminem & Royce Da 5’9” – Fast Lane
Travis Barker featuring Yelawolf, Twista, Busta Rhymes and Lil Jon – Let’s Go
CyHi Da Prynce – Sideways (2K Remix)
Kurtis Blow – Basketball
Friendly Fires – Skeleton Boy
Machine Drum – Let It (edIT Remix)
Aceyalone featuring Cee-Lo – Workin’ Man’s Blues
Freddie Gibbs – Look Easy (2K Original)
Chiddy Bang featuring Q-Tip – Here We Go
Zion I featuring Rebelution- Many Stylez
Duck Down All -Stars 2 – Shout The Winners Out (2K Original)
Middle Class Rut – New Low
Bassnectar – Cozza Frenzy
Ancient Astronauts – Still a Soldier
Alex K. and D.J.I.G. – Now’s My Time (2K Original)
See-I – Haterz
James Pants – We’re Through
Shinobi Ninja – Rock Hood
DELS – Shapeshift
Hudson Mohawke – Thunder Bay (instrumental)
Mr. Chop – Intermezzo 2 (instrumental)
Kid Mac featuring Mat McHugh – Hear You Calling
Thunderball – Make Your Move
The Freeze Tag – The Shuffle (instrumental)
The Death Set – It’s Another Day
Project Lionheart -They Come Back
Jamaica – By The Numbers
XV – Awesome

I didn't even realize two of the four or five I liked were 2K originals until now.

This soundtrack, old songs or not, is the best 2k soundtrack IN MY OPINION. I don't care about half of the garbage that is produced nowadays. I don't bump Kurtis Blow or any of the 'deep' underground hip hop artists when I'm making moves -- I do however play will bump that classic Hov or Mobb Deep. In fact, when I play 2k nowadays some 90's, early 2000s hip hop is on in the background, which includes some old Hov or Mobb Deep (Quiet Storm just came on as I'm typing this). This soundtrack fits ME perfectly, therefore it will be the best to me.
