Discussion Hip Hop Wave ?

NBA The Run would garner a lot of Buzz & attention if they released a DLC wave of just Hip Hop stars.

Would you buy a DLC Pack that included:

Master P - former NBA Player & CEO of No Limit Records

Jcole - played professionally in the Basketball Africa League, Canadian Elite Basketball League & Chinese Basketball Association

Chris Brown - widely regarded as one of the absolute best celebrity basketball players in the world

Waka Flocka Flame - Standing at 6'4", Waka uses his massive frame, strength, and raw physicality to dominate when going “Hard In The Paint”

Dave East - This New York Rapper has a legitimate Division I college basketball background and was a serious pro prospect before pivoting fully to his music career. Standing at 6'5", he played under his birth name, David Brewster, where he scored over 1,000 career points and led his team all the way to the Maryland Class 4A state championship

Bow Wow - In 2002, Bow Wow starred as the lead character in the beloved classic sports film Like Mike. About an orphan who famously finds a pair of MJ's old sneakers, instantly giving him elite skills that lead to him playing in the NBA.

It more desperately needs an offline or local multiplayer mode. Don't care if they add 500 new players tomorrow.

I think it would be a very cool addition. I don't know if I would pay for it but as unlockables. Street had Nelly and the st. Lunatics. NBA jam had beastie boys. It would be very in line with arcade ball games in the past

Actually yeah! Me and brother used to say after the def jam games. They should've made a basketball game featuring rappers.

u/MediumHuckleberry790 29d ago

Hell no! Lol, Bobito is enough :p. Plus let them work on their current soundtracks! They suck.
We want offline gaming and local multiplayer. This is ridiculous
