I agree even though the passing doesn't seem improved at all.

Dude, I'm not here to insult you or anything...you're right on one aspect, Jay-Z did not have to give 2k any money so he could be in the game. In fact, if he wanted to be in the game, for the use of his likeness, 2k would have to pay him.

NOW! Here me out. The title "Executive Producer" (Read carefully), means that he gave money to 2k so that his input would be an integral part of NBA 2k13. That is what an executive producer does, that's how Spielberg makes his money nowadays.

What type of input will Jay-Z be giving? Have a look at his portfolio, his business partners, his friends, his friend's business ventures. A few or all of these things will be appearing in the game. The man is not a rapper, he's a business mogul. When Jay-Z raps about being in the club with his "ho's" and "bottles of piss water", do you actually believe that he is that man he rhymes about?

We are talking about a man who made an attempt at profiting from the Recent 99% Wall Street protests. Sorry to inform you but Jay-Z is a gangster...just not the one you're thinking off.

I really don't mind listening to Jay-Z but from an marketing aspect you are taking the overall consensus popularity here by getting one of the best rappers out there. You will gain some supporters, you will lose some supporters. Hopefully for 2K the margin for addition is better than the subtraction.
Anyone that doesn't buy the game because they don't like Jay Z probably needs their head checked or isn't a serious gamer anyways.

I realy like this because the soundtrack might not be just Jay Z it could anyone he's worked with from Kayne to Lincoln Park.


That said it was weird for 2k to surround the announcement in hyperbole then let it sit for 3 weeks only to leak with no explanation. You'd think "The biggest announcement in 2K History!!11!" would have been better protected from leaks.
 
# 112 Vni @ 07/31/12 03:15 PM
Would be funny if that was the Huge announcement.

Why do they always have Blake hang on the rim with one hand? He never does that.

Jay Z is still alive? Ugh, well I guess this is what iPods are for. It's a shame, I always liked 2k's soundtracks.
 
# 118 theprocess @ 08/01/12 11:08 AM
So Jay-Z didn't just curate the game's soundtrack (at right). "The level of detail he wanted to talk about—down the road, you'll find out about some of the ideas he had—was really surprising," Argent insisted. "Getting a phone call from Jay-Z in the middle of the day, with him saying 'You know, here's something I've been thinking about,' is a surreal experience."

"We're looking on it as NBA 2K, but through the eyes of Jay-Z," Argent said.

Somebody give me the Nobel...I'm out.

hmm I like this being that i'm a Jay Z fan. With Jay Z comes J. Cole, Kanye West & his crew "G.O.O.D Music". Jay Z would help 2K get more copies sold because there are a lot of people that will buy anything that features his name just like with Michael Jordan.
