4.0 out of 5 stars great collection, February 25, 2002

This review is from: Above the Rim: The Soundtrack (Audio CD)

There are some absolute classics on this soundtrack, it's basically a greatest hits of rap between 1993-1995. It is missing two key songs that were in the movie 2Pac's pain & loyal 2 the game. I don't understand why they weren't on it, kind of a let down since i bought it for pain, which any knowledgeable person knows is the best 2pac song of all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but Bias, January 11, 2003

This is a good soundtrack but bias at the same time. Tupac was the star of the movie and it's set in New York. So...why are all of the rap songs west coast joints...there should have been new york hip hop on there as well. Why wasn't Tupac's "Pain" on there...it was the best song on the musical score....makes me think....

1.0 out of 5 stars 2 PAC - Pain ?, December 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Above the Rim: The Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I can't be merciful as others have to this product. I think it is pathetic that Pain wasn't on there for selfish reasons I suppose. For those that have never heard this song you don't know what your missing. Pain is one of the most important and very person, emotional songs of 2 Pacs career. You can really feel his Pain in the song..For Real! The beat is timeless unlike some of his most popular material. I was jammin this on cassette when this soundtrack first came out. I was hoping it turned up on "Better Dayz" but it didnot. I think this soundtrack is incomplete and by a long shot. Alot of the other material sounds dated now with the exception of "Big Pimpin". Pain is easily the best song of 2Pacs career!
