This one of the best soundtracks out there. At the time this soundtrack came out it was one of the earliest albums to bring to together rock and rap music. Everyone of these songs is great to listen too. Get it you will not regret it.
March 11, 2008Being a huge old school rap/rock fan, I stumbled across this one just this year, not even being aware it was even around. It's like the missing piece of the puzzle of those early years of the genre, perfect last piece I guess....perhaps there are more out there to find?
I agree with many that these were the great days to rap rock/metal, it had gotten beyond the "rap and metal can never mix" of the late 80's and started to hit it's stride. Pick this one up for the glory days of it all, at first glance this looks like some rather silly over-saturate the market collaborations perhaps, like a bunch of strange bands jumping on the rap rock bandwagon, but this was 1993 and it was nowhere near as loaded with lackluster rap rocks bands as there would be in the late 90's and into 2000. In '93 I think Rage Against the Machine were just starting out, Body Count was just starting out...this was the early days, the glory days of rap rock, rap metal, whatever you wanna call it, this is essential for the completist of the genre in my book anyway.
August 10, 2007I remember, back when my older brother got his first car and popped this cd in when I rode with him. I fell in love with this cd so much that I knew when the skips happened(and still do till this day) and was sad when he lost this cd. Years Later, I had my own collection but it was missing something. So I searched and searched and finally found it! I've seen the movie but I will always love this album. There's heavy, hard, laid back, funky, and truly bizzare, all are great.
April 1, 2007I hated the music on this CD. The only track I liked on the whole CD was track 2 and I love it - I play that track over and over.
March 12, 2007 |  | Good soundtrack from a forgettable film. |  |
If I remember correctly around the time this movie came out is when the film industry started to realize with a good soundtrack packed full of kick butt artists they could really draw in larger crowds and make more money off soundtrack sales. Well, this CD is one of many victims of that film industry marketing genius that came about in the early 90's that took some great artists of the day, and in my opinion made one of the must have movie soundtracks of its time for anyone who is a fan of rap, rock, metal, or alternative.
Sure the music itself is now going on 14 years old, but at the time this was one earth moving rap-rock masterpiece considering that the now classic Aerosmith/Run DMC and Anthrax/Public Enemy duets were the only real previous rap-rock collaborations in the public eye.
For the general Joe public I would say keep browsing and save your money. As for the fans of some of the artists that just need to hear those extra songs, like myself, or the genre that might be interested in hearing the tracks I would say go for it, but like any other CD not every song is a winner.
