Customer Reviews

eh...
I got the soundtrack because I really liked the movie and am a huge Saul Williams fan, yet there is very little Saul on the album.

I am a bigger fan of what many people concider "concious" hip-hop, and there isn't too much of that on here.

Stand-out tracks are 10 and 17, but you can't really go wrong with KRS One or Dead Prez.

The only tracks that are actually from scenes performed in the movie are 7, 11, 15, 19.

I was dissapointed that saul's spoken word from the jail basketball court didn't make it onto the album.

In short, the album is good for tracks 7, 10, 11, 15, 17, and 19, and I could really care less for the rest.

Good Movie, Good Message, Good Hip-Hop
Man, I have to take issue with the review by Vibe (a publication that for the most part takes commercialism much too seriously). Strangely I listened to the soundtrack before I saw the movie. At the time I thought it was ok, but not exceptional.
When a friend of mine and I watched this movie, I thought the movie was thought-provoking and uniquely directed.
After watching the movie I returned to the soundtrack and found it to be much much better. The slam tracks were much better in context.
Also how can you argue with Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Dead Prez, and KRS-One all on one album.

If You Enjoyed The Movie, You'll Love The Soundtrack!
The soundtrack has most if not all of the memorable verses read including the music which really set the tone of the movie. There's Saul's last poem on this cd which is reason enough to buy this soundtrack!
