College Hoops 2K8 Talks Tunes
Well, technically it's 2K Sports talking about the soundtrack, but we just loooove alliteration.
Published: November 1, 2007
By now, it's become absolute gospel that thou shalt create a bangin' list of tunez for thine sports title, at which point thou shalt release the deets of the soundtrack in perfect English so that stupid guys on tiny PlayStation web sites can talk about them in a mix of faux slang and Bible-ese. Well, not gospel, exactly, more like something we made up so we could pad a news story about a friggin' soundtrack, but you know what we mean. Oh, hey, random quote!
“For the College Hoops 2K8 soundtrack, we wanted to explore the diversity of music tastes of today’s college hoops gamers while introducing them to up and coming artists we’ve come to love and respect,” details Tim Rosa, 2K Sports' Director of Brand and Lifestyle Marketing. “The 2K Sports brand is known for redefining the sound of its games with banging soundtracks, and this latest offering stays true to that vision.”
And here is that vision, in all its glory:
Arabian Prince -- “Professor X Saga”
Bumblebeez -- “Black Dirt”
Deltron 3030 -- “Positive Contact”
Dilated Peoples -- “Spit It Clearly”
E Reece -- “Just Move” (Bautista Remix)
Guilty Simpson -- “Make It Fast”
Heliocentrics -- “Joyride”
Hot Chip -- “My Piano” (Radio mix)
J Dilla & MF Doom (feat. Guilty Simpson) -- “MASH”
James Pants -- “You're Doing It”
Jurassic 5 -- “Without A Doubt”
Liars -- “Plaster Casts of Everything”
Oh No -- “Chump”
Panthers -- “Goblin City”

Ski Beats -- “Idea”
Strange Fruit Project -- “Underclassmen”

The Kooks -- “Eddie's Gun”
Just under three weeks to go until you can play and hear it for yourself.
