People blaming LeBron for the uninspiring soundtrack should realise he did get suggestions from the community and a lot of the names on this soundtrack were what people were posting in the soundtrack suggestion thread. No doubt, Live will have a more diverse and more obscure soundtrack.

I'll probably mute all but five songs on this list. I ain't listening to that damn "Get Lucky" track again, it's now become one of the weakest songs of RAM. I don't know if anyone told LeBron or 2K what the lyrics of the song mean, the ratings commission is going to basically censor most of the hook. There were so many other songs from RAM that are more appropriate for a soundtrack (we don't need lyrics in all the songs!), especially Motherboard and Contact.

Personally, I rather hear underground music, unreleased tracks, or unknown artists like they used to in the past.

I hope this list is fake. I'd rather hear a Susan Boyle song on the soundtrack than '' get lucky '' lol. We need 2k to choose the soundtracks again. They chose GREAT soundtracks for 2k10 and 2k11. The last 2 year's soundtracks are on a decline cuz of Jay-Z and LeBron Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

Depends on who's playing the game. I hadn't heard 70% of the songs from the two last games cause they aren't genres I tend to listen to, so they were fresh for me.

2k10
2k11

after 2k11, they werent just a run of the mill company anymore. They became a household name. You cant expect a company that can land MJ, Lebron, KD, Derrick Rose, Or Larry Bird on the cover of their games to go backwards as far as the budget they can spend on their soundtracks. If the budget for soundtracks in every game up to 2k11 was something like $500,000 dollars, then cool, go for underground music, and one or two mainstream artists. But when you're selling 5 million copies a year at $60 dollars a pop, you gotta consider the budget to spend on music goes up, and would cater to a broader audience than just the "hardcore" ballers.

Haven't heard Gorillaz in a while either, but if the song doesn't have Delton as the guest spot I'm going to be highly dissapointed. If Robin Thicke's song isn't "Lost without you" I'm going to be steaming mad. So many Kendrick songs to choose from. I'm hoping it's Money Trees, though I put odds on the Trick don't kill my vibe remix with Jay Z. Have no idea which songs Nas or Puff Daddy might have. If the song with John Legend doesn't have 3 Stacks as the featured artist I'm going to be equally disappointed. I'm probably going to end up deselecting Coldplay (don't care for their music) and Rick Ross (depending on the song). Oh, and of all the Drake songs he could have chosen he picked "Started from the Bottom".... Dammit Lebron, why not at least have considered 5 AM in Toronto?

"Hate Me Now" would be the perfect song with Lebron on the cover..lol

In the Air Tonight was my favourite song when I was a little kid! I'm glad Lebron chose a bit of diversity and mainstream.

Also, I know LeBron is the "curator" of the 2K14 soundtrack, but do you really think HE picked ALL of these songs? There's a reason why a majority of them are mainstream, non-rap songs and it's not because LeBron wanted them in there. A lot of these athletes wouldn't listen to Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Imagine Dragons, etc. They probably have their own underground rappers they listen to, but it helps 2K more to have bigger name artists in the game outside of the rap game purists that frequent this board
