me and my friend have a bet lol

with Rockstar being great at music selection for their trailers, and with Kendrick Lamar's "Not like Us" being huge at the moment, do you think R* will jump on the bandwagon?

 

[Jack Videogames]

That's a very specific bet

 

[Guilty_AI]

This is my bet

 

[Toons]

If they're smart. Best diss track of rhe last 10 years easily

 

[intbal]

No.
They'll use "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?"

 

[Romulus]

It shocks me this series has such a following and they can't even make characters that sprint without spamming a button.

 

[Kuranghi]

No.
They'll use "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?"

Also love this one lol:

 

[HRK69]

It shocks me this series has such a following and they can't even make characters that sprint without spamming a button.

You are misinformed

 

[Represent.]

That song has nothing to do with Miami, or the theme of the game so no

 

[AV]

It shocks me this series has such a following and they can't even make characters that sprint without spamming a button.

They can, they've just been rewarding players who do spam with a longer/faster sprint for 22 years

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Nah, the song will already be out of the zeitgeist by the time the next trailer comes out. Plus, Rockstar seems to revel in picking the "second sons" of popular artists--not their top hits--for their games and trailers. "Not Like Us" is Lamar's biggest hit ever.

 

[[Sigma]]

I don't see in what context it would be used for a trailer 2.

 

[Camreezie]

Kendrick lamar and drake are both wack af

 

[Romulus]

You are misinformed

So it's confirmed not to be in gta6?

 

[Black_Stride]

Its a very westcoast song, and very targeted towards a pedo who doesnt rep the west and without a black card yet trying to play being black....a damn colonizer.
Vice City is an analog of Miami.
Jason and Lucia are both not Black.

It really wouldnt make much sense to use the song for GTAVI trailer.

 

[Braag]

Maybe, I doubt it. Kendrick has more popular songs like Humble.

 

[HRK69]

So it's confirmed not to be in gta6?

How the fuck would I know

GTA5 and RDR2 both have a "hold to run" option

Your "tap to run" complaint is old news.

 

[DryvBy]

Will Smith - Miami would be appropriate then you could have in the video someone walking right up and smacking someone.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Cringe as fuck, so I hope not.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Yes. They better..

 

[Big Baller]

This will be the main theme song

 

[FeralEcho]

Those lyrics...eeesh

No wonder this generation is mentally retarded.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Kendrick lamar and drake are both wack af

Yeah, Kendrick has his moments but in general I don’t vibe at all tbh.

Drake is shocking, he’s an embarrassment to the genre.

 

[StueyDuck]

almost definitely not,

also, that song, whatever it is, is horse shit.

if anything they could use A South American Artist because of the protag, but rockstar are fans of the memberberries and it works. Just look at GTAVs trailers, none of the songs used were bandwagon songs.

GTA is so big that whatever song they'll use will hit the top charts the day the trailer releases, they don't need some ear diarrhoea that's popular with the kids.

 

[GigaBowser]

 

[Bojanglez]

Would make more sense for a San Andreas based game.

 

[Revolutionary]

No, they usually put good music on the soundtrack

or a country song because of the other protag Jason?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

DROPPIN TWO CIALIS IN HER LIQUID, OKAY

 

[StueyDuck]

or a country song because of the other protag Jason?

maybe, I don't know much about What country music is popular because that is very US-centric. But unless the next trailer is focused on him I'd say it's more like it's just a 90s, 2000s popular song that's not overplayed.

their music doesn't reflect anything, they just choose good songs that fit the trailer, I mean what about queens radio gaga representing GTAV?

Edit: you also have to remember this is a Scottish Company first and foremost, I don't think they care about whats cool in Murica, especially since the game essentially is a parody of the states.

 

[GigaBowser]

Drake is shocking, he’s an embarrassment to the genre.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Why would they?...

Not only is it arguably the most mid song in this whole dead beef, but Rockstar tends to go for less obvious choices in their trailers and in-game radios too.

 

[Raven117]

No.

I truly don’t understand why people like this song as much as they do. It’s nothing compared to the “disstracks” of the 90s (when shit was a lot more “real.”).

It almost feels like pro-wrestling

 

[tommib]

Hopefully, they won’t. That’s cringe town. And Kendrick has actual good tracks:

 

[TexMex]

Guys my friend and I have a bet Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso is a popular song right now do you think it will be in the next GTA trailer???

 

[RayHell]

Who's Kendick Lama and why should we care.

 

[Romulus]

How the fuck would I know

GTA5 and RDR2 both have a "hold to run" option

Your "tap to run" complaint is old news.

They had to patch in GTA5 years later after 80% of the fanbase had already played it.

 

[intbal]

If they are actually trying to be referential, they might pick something like Malagueña. Either a classic rendition or a modern version.
Composed by a Cuban, with a melodic passage inspired by an American composer (who might have gotten it from a Spanish folksong, anyway).
It's a great tune and could easily be the soundscape for an action trailer.

 

[R6Rider]

No because it's not even a good song.

 

[Darko]

Its a very westcoast song, and very targeted towards a pedo who doesnt rep the west and without a black card yet trying to play being black....a damn colonizer.
Vice City is an analog of Miami.
Jason and Lucia are both not Black.

Baka got a weird case.

 

[amigastar]

Thats what i love about Rockstar, the radios and music are really fantastic with wonderful choices.

 

[Raven117]

Thats what i love about Rockstar, the radios and music are really fantastic with wonderful choices.

And a lot cheaper to get the rights.

 

[3liteDragon]

This song is for the west coast, has nothing to do with the game.

Oh lord racism again on NeoGaf.

 

[Loomy]

This song is for the west coast, has nothing to do with the game.

Then why is it available on streaming accounts belong to people who do not live in LA lol. This song is currently top 10 on Billboard and was #1 at one point.

Unless it's a song recorded specifically for the game, no song has anything to do with the game.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Slow weekend?

 

[March Climber]

They can update the game now (especially the online) with anything they want on the radio. I think artists will be begging their labels to put them in the game anyway.

My bet is on this song being in the game:

 

[Myths]

 

[Chuck Berry]

Still hoping for the long rumored banger



Sounds eerily perfect for Jason if everything we’ve heard is true. And that first trailer the Petty song was definitely themed more for Lucia.
