It probably won't be in the game itself but it would be cool if so lol. I'd love to beat someone down in MK to a track.

Okay, so....This Mortal Kombat 11 trailer music

Hated it. The beat sounds like it was written in about 30 seconds and the guy has a range of less than half an octave. There's nothing musical about it: it's not intense, there's no building to it, and it doesn't have a good flow. That song wouldn't fit anything. Also, a lot of what he says is incomprehensible; he's talking about fighting, then there's some sentences that make no damn sense, then he's talking about how he loves women, and then about going blow for blow. I honestly don't understand how anyone could like this song. It's as close to objectively bad as something subjective can get.
MKX had a way better song it its trailer.

I love rap. But this is the shittiest trailer music I've heard in a while, both bad and didn't fit the action well.
It seemed laughably bad, but maybe my tastes are a bit old fashioned *shrug*

Guy can't even rap his way out of a wet paper bag with scissors in his hands
I'm not even into hip hop / rap etc. but I thought it was quit cool. Even cooler because of the fact that the song was "weird" :)
By the way. Here is the GOAT hip hop(?) song in a video game trailer! Max Anarchy.

I was originally excited because I thought NetherRealms got a hold of a gmcfoshow and did a track together. Which, is like, the perfect fit! But it's just some rapper dude and there is zero irony to hide behind how low effort it feels... So, that's all kind of a bummer.
Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, no. It doesn't matter if he sounds sleepy all the time. He still sounds sleepy. It's not about disrespect. It's about the result.
I mean...I tried to articulate paragraphs of reasoning why the song doesn't work with this trailer but that doesn't stop anyone from just not reading it or dismissing it in favor of "21 is hard. This song slaps." Let's not pretend that there isn't plenty of close-mindedness going around.

I wanted to say this...
Pretty sure Wiz was used to market MK10..... complete with the WHOS NEXT tagline
It was a successful campaign, so do it again....
But nerds got a lil more racist now so complain about the rap more in 2018
Can't expect everyone to like everything. There's always gonna be disagreements in every facet of life. If some are being genuinely rascist, they should be dealt with.
But not everyone is rascist just because they dislike rap. I remember being in high school and ppl said you were gay if you listened to *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. Was it true? No. The music just didn't appeal to them.
Music and tastes change all the time. My generation was all about the boy bands and girl groups. Now it's the rap genre. In 10-20 years it'll be something else ppl will be going nuts over. Just listen to what you like and ignore the negative ppl. That's what I do. :)

Yeah let's let negativity continue to fester in a community that allowed and borderline glorified harassment towards women in minorities not even three years ago , yeah let's ignore them. worked well the first fucking time
Your comment is probably bundled with good intentions tho

Yep. MKX's trailer music worked because it paired well with the trailer. Like night and day for me
Then it would have been those terrible cringey Rock music in 99% of AMV's
OP you should know by now that the only music Era tolerates is heavy metal, classic rock, occasional electronic, and hip hop made before 1997. Anything else is basically putting a ice pick through their ears.
EDIT: Oh, and Beyonce. Because you know, everyone like Beyonce.

Yeah the cadence of the lyrics doesnt match up with the pacing of the footage. Im all for music that is a juxtaposition to whats happening on screen tonally, but this one just didnt work. I remember really liking the MKX trailer the first time i saw it, even though hip-hop wasn't something i ever associated with Mortal Kombat. It was well executed and still holds up having just watched a minute ago for the first time in years since its release.
Very amused to come back and find this thread has more comments than the actual reveal thread.
Just last week I was thinking of exploring Mortal Kombat's long and storied and weird evolution through promotional music. Techno, EDM, heavy metal, alt rock, hip-hop and rap... And yet the actual in-game soundtrack is almost never anything like any of it.
But it has turned me on to a variety of music genres and artists I never knew about or thought I'd like. MKX had one trailer using music from Nigel Stanford, and that's totally not something you'd think would be associated with Mortal Kombat.

It does sound off because of the mismatched levels and quality. It's as if the song's a pre-eq mono version while MK is in way higher quality and obviously louder.
That MK10 trailer should be a pretty clear example of the difference in mixing. It succeeds in making the music sound like it's part of the video and has an impact, not just background music.

Ric Flair is broke as fuck. He'll do anything for money.
That said, the track bangs.
Thank you for being like only the second person ITT to understand audio mixing.
Not sarcasm. I'm serious, I'm glad someone else clearly hears the mixing problems in the trailer.
oh. well it's kind of depressing now.
But yes, it's a banger

Why are so many people coming in here and assuming we all outright hate rap. It's about this one song.
The rap song used in the MKX trailer was fine. This one wasn't. Please don't jump to, "You're racist if you don't think every single rap song is great."
I'm not into hip hop but I thought the music was fine. Hip hop in fighting games goes just as well the techno that got blasted out of arcade machines in the 90s. Also for anyone that suggests that the Mortal Kombat theme is more fitting, that's a no. I love that song but I know that it's terrible and corny. They played that song in gym class when I was in elementary school. Cheesey workout music doesn't work for today's marketing.
He never said "if you don't like this, you're racist", the implication made is that since MKX's release in 2015, nerd culture has gotten progressively, noticeably worse.
This is so much better. The one for 11 seems shoehorned in.
