The official “NBA 2K14” sound track is here, courtesy of LeBron James. Here are the sounds that will be playing as you select the Heat to demolish your friend or create your My Player:
-Blurred Lines—Robin Thicke, ft. T.I. and Pharell.
-Cool 2 Be Southern-Album Version – Big K.R.I.T.
-Paradise (On Earth)—Cris Cab
-Get Lucky—Daft Punk ft. Pharrell
-Started From the Bottom, Edited Version—Drake
-Not Afraid—Eminem
-Long Run—Fly Union
-Clint Eastwood—Gorillaz
-Radioactive—Imagine Dragons
-Can’t Stop Me, Album Version (Edited)—Jadakiss ft. Ayanna Irish
-The Ruler’s Back, Album Version (Edited)—Jay Z
-Who Do We Think We Are—John Legend ft. Rick Ross
-All of the Lights—Kanye West
-Now or Never—Kendrick Lamar ft. Mary J. Blige
-Can’t Hold Us—Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Ray Dalton
-Hate me Now—Nas ft. Puff Daddy
-In the Air Tonight—Phil Collins
-Elevator—The Black Keys
-Howlin’ For You—The Black Keys
The playlist seems to be a good mix of music. There is a nice blend of recent rap/hip-hop and old school music. There is also some pop, R&B and some Phil Collins. (Why not.) Also, the two songs by the Black Keys add the final piece to make a complete playlist.
While LeBron is no Jay-Z—Mr. Sean Carter executive produced “NBA 2K13”—he still did a fine job with this year’s sound track. It appears as if he listened to a variety of the suggestions he ask for and chose a little bit of everything.
