Jay-Z is NBA 2K13’s Executive Producer
Obviously not everyone is comfortable when celebs make unexpected moves. If indeed celebrity is almost a living metaphor for class ascension as certain sociologists say, then it should not be surprising that the moves even my some celebs are not only questioned but often times thrown hurls of wishful suppression by those who are observing. In this new era of shift of control, however, we are continuing to see people challenge norms and take new positions. We're just surprised no one actually questioned how much Hov is getting for his new gig, though!
NBA 2K13 is the newest installment of the best-selling basketball video game franchise, and this year Jay-Z has offered input for the game’s interactive menus and other graphics, and has selected 24 songs for the soundtrack. Apparently, being a Grammy-winning rapper and minority owner of the Brooklyn Nets was not enough, and Jay-Z felt compelled to take part in this “unique opportunity” he mentioned in a statement. Last year’s game sold more than 5 million copies; will the game be as big of a slam-dunk as its counterpart? Let us dive into what fans and gamers are thinking prior to the October 2nd release date of Jay-Z making a contribution to the tech game.
What Others Are Saying...
Jay-Z is a HORRIBLE rapper…He's only wealthy and famous because he and Puff Daddy …are marketing geniuses…if his albums give any clue of what to expect from NBA 2k13, expect it to be an over-hyped, under-delivering mess. Just like the Brooklyn Nets.
Why are people hating on Jay-Z? Basketball has obviously been a part of hip-hop culture… I doubt it'll hurt the game…I’d rather have a Grammy award-winning artist select the soundtrack for my favorite game than a group of no-names…
Maybe I’m missing something huge but what does a B+ … musician know about sports or video games? …I’m a fan of Chinese food, that wouldn’t qualify me to be the Exec Producer of a takeaway restaurant simulator...
