With the not-all-that-surprising news that cover athlete LeBron James will be curating the soundtrack for NBA 2K14 in addition to providing—we presume—actual basketball insight or content, it seems like a good time to talk about the songs that would ACTUALLY be good in a basketball game. I mean, good for LeBron and all, but I have a hearty skepticism about how much he's picking these songs and how much all of the various companies involved here are picking songs from bands they want to push.
Here are my picks for the ideal NBA 2K14 soundtrack (WARNING: Some explicit content). Songs have been selected based on a couple of strict criteria: 1.) Awesomeness 2.) Intensity 3.) Funkiness and/or Having a Good Pocket 4.) Resilience to Multiple Plays 5.) Not having a weird outro like "Victory" by Puff Daddy from NBA 2K13.
"Drumroll" by P.O.S.
"Breathe and Stop" by Q-Tip
"Ice Cream" by Battles
"Yeah You're Right" by The Meters
"Sex" by The 1975
"Burn It Down" by Sims
"Korosu" by Boris
"Backseat Freestyle" by Kendrick Lamar
"Black Cow" by Steely Dan
"Side 8" by Tobacco
What are some songs you'd put on your personal NBA 2K14 mix?
