(swiped from Pitchfork Media)Screw the Madden franchise and every baseball video game in existence except for EA's MVP Baseball 2005 (Kaz Ishii = dirty). In my incredibly unqualified opinion, 2K Sports' NBA 2K8 was the best sports-related video game to come around in a while.
And hey, what do you know, NBA 2K9 is in stores now, and the folks at 2K have assembled a bunch of rappers to go on the "2K Sports Bounce Tour" in support of the new game. Man, the only other things I need are weed and a couple trips to McDonald's, and I could hibernate for the winter.
Q-Tip, the Cool Kids, DJ Scratch (EPMD), and the Knux will appear on all dates of the tour, with Pacific Divison and Janelle Monáe showing up at just a few.
The tour begins November 5 in Chicago.
Full disclosure: Pitchfork helped curate the soundtrack for 2K Sports' Major League Baseball 2K8 game.
