[Xx Yankee xX]

Wu-Tang Clan,Papoose & Talib Kweli.

[Prime Time]

K-Fed, Justin Timberlake, and Fergie.

[hooman1844]

Get some rock, like the 'Stones or Eagles.
Hiphop is nice, but so is diversity.

[cheeseonabun]

The Blue Man Group.....

[Infallable]

Queen
George Strait

Journey

[Prime Time]

Britney Spears

[Janelly1810]

How about some George Clinton and Ohio Players for the throwback players?

[JayMizzle]

Put LB back on the soundtrack!!!! LB stands for Little Brother...they did the Carolina Agents track on 2k6...Brinng em bak! also put papoose on there...keep the soundtrack underground!!

[jrmycmpfan]

Whoa, who's the new Mod? Anyway, the game needs new music, rap/hip-hop gets old, more diversity is needed, some rock is good. Some reasonably popular bands are good. All underground :thumbsdow.

[BlindDeafandMute]

Kanye West
Public Enemy
Rhymefest
Mos Def(again)

[MetsFan4Ever]

Whoa, who's the new Mod?

It seems he's not an active mod, seeing as he only has 6 posts and joined the forums in July.

[weinthebay@2K]

Hey guys . . . guess there is some interest in who i am . . . My name is Alex, I've been working for 2K for over 2 years. I work in Marketing and I am part of the team that put's the soundtracks together.

I will be reading your guys suggestions and putting them in a doucument that I will refer to when it comes time to put out our feelers and begin licensing tracks for the game.

I am also the one to submit tracks to (ahayden@2ksports.com) if you are in a band/group or know somebody who is in one that would like the chance to be featured in the game.

I'm not sure how active a mod i am going to be . . . but i'll be around.

Nice to meet you all and I'm loving all the participation already!

- Alex

[Janelly1810]

Cool Alex. Nice to meet you as well. Hopefully you could be an active mod here on the music forums to make this place a little more interesting. Good to see you aboard.

PS: Since you got the mask as your avatar you should put some Danger/MF Doom as well on the soundtrack. lol.

[Pinoy Dynasty]

Nice to meet you Alex...

[GOCUBSFOREVER]

Lil Flip, Rick Ross, Lil Jon

[aka_Jamal_Xavier]

A little more old school hip hop like Big Daddy Kane, Eric B and Rakim, EPMD.

Some G-Funk like Warren G, The Twins, B. G. Knocc Out & Dresta.

Indie artist like Mr. Lif, MF Doom(props on da avy), Kenn Starr, 7L & Esoteric

Major artist like Luda, Rhymefest, Lupe, Busta, Kardinal Offishal(hes major in Canada), Peedi Peedi

[Xx Yankee xX]

Whoa, who's the new Mod? Anyway, the game needs new music, rap/hip-hop gets old, more diversity is needed, some rock is good. Some reasonably popular bands are good. All underground :thumbsdow.

Rock on an NBA game? Do they put hip-hop on MLB? no!!

[Xx Yankee xX]

Heres some more suggestions:

Afu-Ra
Canibus
Method Man
Zion I
The Game
DMX
Ghostface
Kanye West
Mobb Deep
Nas
Obie Trice
Saigon

[ludacris06]

Whoever's dropping in 2008 is going to need promotion, so I bet they're up for a 2k8 soundtrack.

[Detroitplaya]

They will all put new artists on the game I'm willing to bet. As much as I would like to see it, I don't think there will be any old school rap/hip-hop.

[cheeseonabun]

There aren't going to be any big name artists simply for the fact that they can't afford them which is why there are always no name artists on the soundtracks.

[Xx Yankee xX]

There aren't going to be any big name artists simply for the fact that they can't afford them which is why there are always no name artists on the soundtracks.

This year they got Ghostface,Lupe,Mos Def etc... How do you explain that?

[cheeseonabun]

This year they got Ghostface,Lupe,Mos Def etc... How do you explain that?

CANS
lil 3 - "D"
mos def

Method Man
JT the Bigga Figga
Run-DMC
Wylde Bunch

idk what do you think?
:thumbsup: or :thumbsdow ?

[hornthecheck]

CANS is a local based artist in the Hudson Valley of New York. If ya ever get a chance to check 'em out, do it, he's good. Lil 3 - "D" is also an up mand coming rap artist. Lastley Wylde Bunch, to me, isnt that bad, you might have heard of Wylde Bunch on Madden 2005.

[hornthecheck]

FYI:

Wylde Bunch was just added to to MLB 2k7 sountrack with thier song: "Yeah Yeah (Stomp The Bleachers)". I doubt they will be on NBA 2k8.

[FakedShinobi`]

you can put ANY hip hop artist besides gunit ja rule and like 2 other rappers i cant think of right now.. =)

Put papoose saigon put the WE Fly high song.. its an alright song i think =)

[RTT]

Kanye West would get you guys a LOT of extra games sold just based on how popular he is. Plus, he's one of my favorites.

Definately include Lupe Fiasco again next year.

Uh.. Maybe some Three Six Mafia?

[Xx Yankee xX]

Why not add some Wu-Tang Clan songs or get them to make a song for the game. Im sure real hip-hop fans would appreciate that. For the younger people you should definently include kanye west and maybe ludacris.

[cardinalsN07]

[coadys9]

Akon Ft. Snoop Dogg/ or just Akon

[UNSTABLE]

There are alot of artists that should get on. Alot metioned have alot going for them. I am a artist myself. I have a company Hiz & Herz Entrtainment LLC, and we are Independent in the game. Ive appeared in a few magazine and networked with artist from NYC, all the way to France, creatinga notable buzz. On top of that I have a online magazine, and a radio show in which i help other artists. At the end of the day Im moving hot music Independent. I sent a track and hopefully it gets picked for everyone else check out the links and support. Good luck to all who submitted.

Peace,

Avenged Sevenfold
Yellowcard
My Chemical Romance
T.I.
Bone Thugs
Nas

theres more............but who does that song on smackdown vs raw "bullet with a name" i wanna say its Nonpoint. idk................what u guys think

[Savoie06]

Some Outkast would be nice.

[dab226]

I think they should come up with technical fouls and ejections for some of those hard headed bad tempered players. In addition to coming up with this technical fouls and ejections, there should be a way the person playing the game can control his or her player from getting tech or ejected during that time. This will just make the game more interesting. A great example would be when a game is very close and Rasheed Wallace gets his 5th foul in the 4th quarter with 1:20 on the clock and looses his composure. What do you guys think?

[Ballin07]

Some good Rock N' Roll would be nice, like Metallica (Music from their heyday, 84-91), Guns N' Roses (Also, music from their heyday, 87-91), and maybe some KISS from the 70's.

[IVODEM]

Lil Wayne!!
yea and put some of the drough 3 songs on there or see if he will make one

[coadys9]

Jim Jones, We Fly High

[SyxxtySyxx]

I'd like to see anything by Bone Thugs n' Harmony on the soundtrack. Also, bringing back The Crest and Jurassic 5 would be nice.

[JHodge32]

[the_greatest]

2k is gonna stay using primarily hip-hop in there games simply because of 2 things....the first is that fact that basketball is more of a hip-hop dominated game and the second is beacuse of the feature that lets you play downloaded music from your system. it kinda doesnt matter what music is on the game in actuality.

[weinthebay@2K]

hey all, I'm Schuyler. I've taken over from Alex here on the music placement.

Thanks for your suggestions. I hope you won't be too disappointed if you don't see the blue man group and k-fed in the game this year..

Keep 'em coming, I'm listening.

peace.

-sSchuyler, I know that this isn't the MLB 2K music suggestion thread, but I just wanted to know if our songs were even taken into consideration. I noticed that not only not one song was taken from anybody's list, but not even anybody's recommended artist was taken either.

Can we use our same song suggestions and place them into an MLB 2K9 music suggestion thread?

[IBBALLIN33]

For 2k9, "Can't Be Touched" by Roy Jones Jr/.

[weinthebay@2K]

Hi McFluffin.

I wasn't introduced to the forums until after we had put together the music for MLB this year - by all means add your suggestions again and I'll do my best to take them into account for 2K9.

-s

[astonmartin]

:D These days I'm really into techno and techno/rock and stuff like that -- try searching for these songs:

Thomas Falke "Revolution On The Dance Floor"
Groove Cutter "My Shooter"
Control One "Just A Little Bit"
Ian Carey "Redlight"
Kevin Weg "Dead Radio":thumbsup:

I don't usually go for techno but these are sort of like a wierd crossover between rock and techno/trance.

Here are also some downloads with some other cool stuff too -- http://www.electricfilebox.com/tracks

[BigWillie-54]

Wu Tang Clan-Uzi from Iron Flag
Fazers-king gerodra with mf doom(original or instramental(i know bad spelling))
The Champ-Ghostface Killa
Proteck ya neck-Wu Tang Clan(doubt it will make it as origional vers(too much cursing))
Superstar-Lupe Fiasco(i wounder if he can make it into a basketball song like ghostface killa did with milk em on NBA 2k6)


More latter
also comment on my list

also i want to confirm that this is for NBA 2K9 right

[Preo32]

gotta get some MF Doom and crazy Tech N9ne for 2k9

maybe some Nappy Roots just cuz

and some other types of music
