i have a feeling that there are going to be a couple of Wacka Flocka Flames songs on the rap station. i just hope there is no Drake and Lil wayne type bitches ahahah

You like Waka Flocka but you don't like Lil Wayne? They are both 2 of the shittiest rappers ever, but even Lil Wayne is better than Waka Flocka.

Listen to this shit, it actually makes me laugh

I'm not stuck there, I listen to rappers which are good. Which the majority of which happen to be from the 90s. Hopsin, Black Thought, Talib Kweli, Common, even Wu Tang & Ice Cube are rappers creating new shit that I listen to, because it's not complete materialistic, whack rhyme style shit like Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Soulja Boy and YMCMB.

I also like it when the lyrics are audible where the rapper doesn't mumble like a someone who is fucking braindead, and when the beats are higher quality that what seems to be able to be made in garage band.

Listen to this, seriously. What do you like about it? His lyrics, flow and delivery sucks, it's barely audible. The beat is catchy, maybe suitable for a club but not real "hip-hop". Read the first top rated comment - I couldn't agree with it more.

My theory on the music in Grand Theft Auto V includes radio stations with:

Talk Radio

Lazlow (I bet his crappy show in LC wasn't working out so he moved)

Public

News

Hip Hop

Old School (west coast)

Current (either coast, mostly west artists)

Rock

Classic

Alternative

Metal

Mainstream

Pop

Electro/Club/Dance

Oldies

Easy Listening

Contemporary

Country

Other

Classical

Spanish

Asian

Gospel/Church

Once we get informed about the story it will be a lot easier to predict the types of music (at least some) that will be present, because it will most likely correlate with the atmostphere and surroundings, like the previous GTA games.

I thought it might be fun to devise my own GTA soundtrack during the news drought. I personally found IV's to be lacking, so here's hoping for something better. I tried to avoid just picking my favorite songs, and instead choosing songs that would fit the mood of driving around Los Santos (Surfin' USA when by the ocean, Gin and Juice when in the ghetto). Nonetheless, my preferences shine through, and the soundtrack has a certain myopic quality, so it'd be interesting to see what other people come up with. Also, I decided to choose ten songs for each radio station. This benefited some stations and hurt others as I struggled to both cut songs from some stations and find songs for others. I don't recommend this as a rule to anyone who wishes to participate; I just like a superfluous and superficial formality to these inconsequential exercises. Probably OCD or something.

I highly doubt there will be east-coast hip-hop, just like there was on west-coast hip-hop on the east coast (LC). Unless there's an "old-school" station from the 80's.

As for West Coast, you missed out a lot of people:

Above The Law

MC Ren

Cypress Hill

CPT's Most Wanted (MC Eiht)

The D.O.C

Da Lench Mob (and more of Ice Cube)

Daz Dillinger

Kurupt

Eazy.E

Warren G

Kid Frost

Ice T

Too Short

Just to name a few. And there's almost definitely going to be a "The Beat 103.7" type station with the modern hip-hop/pop type stuff that's so popular and on the radio. But you seem to have a good, diverse taste in music, which is good.

I hope they don't put any mainstream music of today, it sucks! Rockstar does a great job with the music, adding some unknown music and getting it notoriety. Though IV did seem to miss out on some songs, but I enjoyed the soundtrack. I'm hoping for rock, pop, & no Lil Wayne, lol.

that sounds like hipster talk... funny thing is, i liked the black keys before they became huge... when i heard them in GTAIV, i flipped out because R* put them in the game!! but then they got really big and now i feel like a hipster because i liked them before they became mainstream...

but R* does pick songs that are more obscure... including songs from very well known artists... but they do have to throw in songs from guys like kanye west, gotta make that $$... but i do like flashing lights, even though the meaning for flashing lights in the song apply to something completely different than the flashing lights in GTAIV... it was a great choice...

how about maino's "getaway driver"?? i don't know how many times i was in a mission trying to evade the cops and i kept hearing on the radio that i was the getaway driver :lol:... fucking awesome...

Rockstar are masters at creating a soundtrack for the games. The tracks are so diverse ranging from some underground metal to mainstream hip-hop, and GTA can also introduce you to some great music.
