Mortal Kombat X Trailer. What's wrong with the music?


Checking out some new trailers for upcoming games, I happen to read most of the comments in the Motal Kombat X Trailer and 90% of the comments were based on the soundtrack used for the trailer, not even "this game looks pretty awesome"  "I hate the new Mortal Kombat series"  NO!  

"Whats up with the music? Since when Scorpion and Sub-Zero turned into gangsta niggers?"    <--  wtf?  Seriously I laughed the first time but.... .what is up with humans these days? 

I listen to all kinda stuff from EDM to Classic Swing, to Death core to Heavy Metal to Reggae etc.  And I don't see anything wrong with the soundtrack, Khalifa's lyrics were on point with the trailer as well as the beat, be honest. 

You tell me, what you think about the soundtrack. I'm just happy the game will run 1080p 60fps. Not much fighters and racers run at that framerate.

It does not fit the trailer, for some reason now adays, everyone thinks that rap needs to be in everything, to try and bump up everthing and so called make it "hard sounding". Which is the complete wrong way to go about a fight sceen with sub-zero and scorpion. Some sort of fast paced Rock would have been more approperate and fit better in this trailer.
 
Other good example, Freddy VS Jason. now emagine if they would have took killswitch engage and ill Nino out of the music score and put in some rap, It just would have not fit the them and the songs go hand in hand with the story line of the movie.

The second track MAY have fit, copyrights and originality, I'd beg to differ but everyone has their opinion man.

If they would chop and scewed this song, I really think it could work.

 

Kind of like this.

They should have just kept the music going. 

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Haters gon' hate.

But honestly. It's fine, I actually enjoyed it. You could easily say rock is played out and has been in such trailers for decades.

Each to their own. It's probably a song the guys who made the trailer like and thought fit so in it went.

LOL I say it  depends on both the application and genre. They are polar (must match)  The soundtrack and trailer matched.

You are probubly right, but for people that understand the background between sub-Zero and scrpion and how much they have hated eachother over the years, the music score to the trailer just does not make since. even if the song sounds good. Just does not match up togther.

IKR, It's hard to say who would win in real life, but for some reason i have to say Sub-zero would win

in all the series I played Scorpion wins only for revenge, I think it's because he's undead as Sub-Zero killed him and everyone in his clan in Scorpion's previous life :/  Noob (Sub-Zero's brother) could probably kill Scorpion as I think he's also undead

I didn't even care about the music, I was just watching the fight. I think the beat was alright, and that's pretty much I needed from it.

Yeah, Sub-zero is probably the most annoying fighter of them all imo. I just got MK9 on the latest sale and my favorite so far is Kung Lao though, but when I try ladder, Sub-zero just kicks my ass.

Nah, I know, and i'm not a hater to all rap, I'm a big fan of old school rap, just not a big fan of the new rap that has been forming for the past 5 years.

 

I agree though, the choped version of 100 ways to hate, becuase its Nu-Metal sounds better, the orgenal with the exesption of a few parts is way to hard and fast paced to fit the trailer.

Who listens to that nonsense on the radio? LOOOL  Little Wayne, Rick Sauce, TTYL Rocky, PoliceBoy 

No man, just admit the song fit  :P 

If they had let the instrumental play during the song I think everyone would be happy though :/

Now this "If they had let the instrumental play during the song I think everyone would be happy though :/" I agree with :D, so I guess in away I have to admit that the song does go with the trailer lol.

 

But i do still think the other song would have worked better :P
