Great work, are some RamJam songs on Massive B and some Self-Actualization songs on Journey?

I've checked and unfortunately, the songs aren't on those stations.

Oh,

 

Thanks for clearing that up though

[Krkr]

I often put on "Vladivostok" but never hear "Pjanoo".

 

Do you need EFLC for it?

I got EFLC but I never hear it either. Instead "David Morales (feat. Lea-Lorien) - How Would U Feel" is always playing everytime I put on Vladivostok.

[Faledak]

No you dont need EFLC to get it on radio, i have both DLC and its playing on my radio it usually plays around the time when clubs are open 21:00-06:00

[Restelo94]

Question:

 

On the TBOGT DLC

 

are the original ElectroChoc songs still there?

No, I have the DLC but still hear it occasionally.

Yes

[Algonquin Bridge]

Can I request a rectification to the first post? According to Zit, it's "Eric Prydz - Pjanoo (Club Mix)", rather than the normal mix that's in game.

Yep, and boy am I happy when Francois K comes back on, Electrochoc was brilliant in GTA IV compared to the mess of a station it is in TBOGT. Same goes for Vladivostok, Eastern Europe Pop station in GTA IV, UK Dance Station in TBOGT. Having it on DLC just makes it awkward when doing mission in the day and I feel like kicking back to some generic dance tunes whilst doing missions only to have it cut off and have the normal Vladivostok come back and throws the whole vibe off. These should of been extra stations, what's the point in adding content to a station if it doesn't match the original content at all? It feels like Rockstar rushed the soundtrack this time around.

Dude you're right I didn't even realize how awkward it would be for DLC people. I have EFLC so I don't get old Vladivostok, but damn that must be a pretty big turn off to hear Eric Prydz and then it switches to that "Eins Zwei Drei, Shikki Shikki Shai" song.

 

I don't think they rushed the soundtrack, I think they just got confused.

I think the awkward genre combinations from DLC radio updates are due to technical and practical constraints. There are no new stations in DLC because R* wants you to have the extra music in the original game without altering the original game code. Adding new stations would require updating the station selection menu and ideally Niko would need new lines recorded to able to ask a taxi driver for that station. Adding content to existing stations doesn't require as much tinkering.

I think I found Crookers feat. Solo - Bad Men hiding here. Says "may not even be released due to the fact that is was apparently mad exclusively for a video game!" Gee, which one!

I have some questions:

 

In the EfLC version of TBoFT, does TLaD music also appear in TBoGT, or does it stay in TLaD? Is it at all possible for the old GTA IV music to appear in the EfLC version of TBoGT (such as installing IV to the hard drive, etc)?

[BGModder]

I know The Beat is in the TLAD soundtack thread, but B.O.B. "Autotune" and John Legend "Green Light" were pure garbage and didn't belong on The Beat.

[Ash_735]

Autotune is a joke song, meant to mock certain artists out there who heavily use it.

[Cheat]

I actually feel "Green Light" and Akon's "Dangerous" for GTA. I neither digg 'em as "hip-hop" but they are good for BoGT.

TLAD music does appear in TBoGT and vice versa in EFLC.

 

And no, it's not possible to have the old GTA IV music in EFLC. In order to listen to the original tracks in addition to the updated tracks, you would have to get the DLCs.

I know, but it sucks having to listen to it over and over again when I'm trying to listen to a hip-hop station.

I agree that they fit with the game but their is no room for it on the hip-hop station. I think "Dangerous" can pass for a hip-hop song but "Green Light" just screams "Play me at your next cocktail party". Not exactly what hip-hop is all about.

[shinsta312]

I've been gone for a while, but I've finally got the YouTube link for "Boxer".

 

It's not the official version, just a rip from TBoGT, but it's better than nothing.

 

Enjoy.

New Music on Vladivostok is just win!

[LovelyKirby]

Please upload Self-Actualization FM & RAMJAM FM image's

I don't have EFLC. plz upload Radio Station Icon's!

[Moss27]

I gotta say, the music in Maisonette 9 is awesome. It sucks that some of the songs there (Animal, Put your hands on me) are mixed specifically for the game and can't be found online at this point.

 

I found a good remix of Animal even though it is different from the game remix, it's about as good as we can get to a club version right now.

I noticed the guy who uploaded Boxer to youtube was able to remove the Crookers yelling through the song. Is it possible for someone to be able to get the entire Maisonatte 9 remix and remove the "Maiiiiiiisonettttttttte...numberrrr 9..." and all that from it? It would be amazing to have the continuous loop of the club tracks like that.

 

 

[Restelo94]

I love "Jump Up" by Major Lazer but I can't find lyrics ANYWHERE

 

I also can't find somehow to contact Major Lazer or his record label for the lyrics

(don't say twitter 'cause he wont be able to fit it it in 140 characters)

 

Also, I'm sorry that this doesn't exactly fit with the soundtrack as a whole but its better than a whole topic right?

I disagree about ElectroChoc being a "mess of a station" and Vladivostok being bad as well because it's a UK Dance station in TBoGT. I actually like both stations more in TBoGT, really brings out the whole club vibe. And I love how they play real dance music now in ElectroChoc, not this "electro" or "dance rock" stuff they played in vanilla GTA IV. EC was still good though, but not what I would have preferred to hear. And allthough I enjoyed the Eastern-European music in vanilla Vladivostok and don't think it makes much sense playing music in TBoGT that's completely different than before, the updated songs are awesome.

 

I'm telling you sometimes when I would listen to ElectroChoc on GTA IV I would sometimes be like "Man, I wish this station played actual techno/dance music and not this." Back before GTA IV released I heard some previews for the radio stations and right then and there I was already being disappointed with ElectroChoc. But it's better now, thank goodness.

/Opinion

 

That's it really, to me, I prefer the Electronica and House side of things, and on a station called ELECTROCHOC, I think it fits more. Same for Vladivostok FM, station ID and market suits the Eastern Europe Pop station it was, doesn't fit in with Generic UK Dance Station.

 

To me, these stations have been anally raped in TBOGT. To go from the cool sounds of Electochoc with Francois K being all smooth and smart to DEEEEEEEEEE JAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY CRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKEEEEERRRRRS YA YA YA YA *Airhorn* JUMP UP JUMP UP JUMP UP BRAH, is just really off putting.

 

Not saying it shouldn't be in the game, yes, it fits with the club vibe, but they should of been different stations.

Not sure why you put "/Opinion" in there since my post wasn't the "Blah blah blah, FACT." type of post but alright. It was obvious it was an opinion.

 

... anyway I do agree that the updated Vladivostok songs should have been in a new station or something, since it's weird listening to British dance music on a station named "Vladivostok FM". It also doesn't make sense listening to English music in the same station as Russian music. But I have the EFLC version so the only weird part is the station name discrepancy but I do see where you're coming from. It's strange too since vanilla Vladivostok FM played more than just dance music, with some rock/rap/pop music thrown in there. Awkward for it turning into an all-dance station in Gay Tony.

 

And I don't even really like that "Jump Up" Major Lazer song anyway, it's got to be my least-favorite song on ElectroChoc, and it always seems to be playing for some reason. Did R* not fix that radio bug where the same song always happens to be playing like in vanilla GTA IV where "Top Down" played on The Beat all the f*cking time? Vladivostok also has this problem and it always plays that "How Would U Feel?" song.

[The Notorious MOB]

They really should've implimented an option in the pause menu where you could exclude certain songs on the playlist of each radio station i.e. DJ Paul's tracks on Vladivostok in Niko's Story and Ruslana's in Luis story etc. That way people wouldn't be forced to listen to songs that they don't like/ruin the vibe of the story.

Sorry for bumping, but I was wondering if I could get lyrics for "Jump up" by Major Lazer? I can't find it anywhere

[swooner]

I'm still really digging SELF (miss AFX, Phillip Glass tho) & Ram Jam (more than Marley). Lost some love for Electrochoc (miss Francois & old school electo). Vice City is the bee's knees in BoGT /opinion

 

I just wish they would've enhanced Classics
