Although not included in the official track list from EA Sports, these tracks make their way into some of the NBA Live 08 versions (particularly the PC version). The first two listed (Gorillaz & My Favorite Mutiny) were included in the NBA Live 07 Soundtrack while a notable track is the third one by San Antonio Spurs guard and recently French hip hop artist Tony Parker.
The NBA Live is series of basketball video games, published by EA Sports. Its main competitor is the NBA 2K series. There has not been any entry in the series on a home console since 2009. In November 2010, development of the franchise was moved from EA Canada studio to Florida-based Tiburon studio. It has been announced that the series' next installment will be released in October 2012 and would keep the NBA Live name.
The predecessor of the NBA Live series was the NBA Playoffs series, which featured Lakers vs. Celtics, released first in 1989 for MS-DOS-compatible PCs and later adapted for consoles in early 1991 for the Sega Mega Drive. This game was played from a horizontal view (while later versions moved to an isometric view before ultimately moving to 3D on newer consoles). The game was one of the first to feature an NBA license, containing both real NBA teams and player likenesses and signature moves. Details such as Horace Grant's goggles are clearly visible, and Michael Jordan's "Air Reverse Layup" is animated with very high accuracy. Player numbers were also visible. The game featured only eight of the sixteen teams that qualified for the NBA playoffs that year, as well as both NBA All-Star teams.
There is no end to this spiral of pain
Walls get thinner and lines get erased
Mortal thoughts are mixed with him
Infixed and refined
I see more clearly what it all means
Tragic race, I'm part of this disease
Divine suffocation
Bring this world to an end
Raving masses, a gfrenetic breed
Passes thorugh life unseen
Humans dying and ask for bliss
To enter the heavenly scene
Over populated - heaven!
Garden of lust - turned into hell!
Your god is not awake
Broken
Dogma - your god has failed
No belief
God never was
No belief
Your creation crumbles and dies away
I am no longer chained, master
I am unleashed from there mortal thoughts
Satan is the name I see the future evolve with it!
I am the shield,
Impamiiz
I am the knife inside their dreams
I speak no human tongue
I travel paths obscene
Over populated - heaven!
Garden of lust - turned into hell!
There is no god
Your dogma is no longer
Speech is no longer an option
And action has had its course
No dreams just broken hope
