    This is incredibly underwhelming. And before anyone asks, I was expecting something that really means something to me when I'm playing the game.

                      This is sick! Jay-Z is the 3rd Greatest Rapper Ever behind Pac and Biggie and my personal favorite. IDK what he will contribute but even if its just a sick rap soundtrack I'm happy.

                      He's a beast at everything he does!

                      But that's just IMO

                          Hopefully this years soundtrack is better than last years. 2k12's soundtrack wasn't that bad but it wasn't that good. I liked 2k11 and 2k10's soundtrack better.

                            Yo, are you serious? This was the big announcement? I want to buy a great basketball game, not an album. For the 2nd year in a row, how about actually concentrating on gameplay and online as opposed to these stupid gimmicks?
