Def Jam's "Rush Hour Soundtrack" is an almost perfect soundtrack album. It has a skit every now and then, that was tooken from the movie. The song by Too Short is amazing, and Can I Get A? buy Jay-Z is also good. It also has a song from Westcoast gangster rappers Daz Dillinger & Big Tray Dee. I gave it a 4 star all because of the first 2 songs. EVERY other song on this album is awesome, a hip hop masterpeice.

Rush Hour is a great movie! The Soundtrack however is something I could do without! The biggest song in the movie is Edwin Starr's "War." Not only is it played countless times, but it is even referred to by Chris Tucker in the dancing scene. But for some reason it did not make it to the soundtrack! This is unfortunate because had it been on the soundtrack...it would've easily been the best song on this CD! True there are one or two decent pieces on here...but if you're in it for a song or two, resort to Napster!

i found this movie great, of course, i'm a chan fan. i also like some songs and music of the film so i decide to buy this album. the surprise is that i don't found a lot of songs, the worst thing is that the songs that appear don't reflect the movie feeling. what's that of def jam? always the same, a poor hiphop, without strong, without heart, always the same. there are many songs or just one very long? i hate this cd, this is not a sountrack is another bad-defjam-album. SOUNDTRACK, music of a movie! if you like the music of the movie connect your taperecorder to your vhs and just record the sound, believe me.

The C.D. was alright Case and Joe song Faded pictures was the reason why I bought the C.D and J-Z was alright. But for the most part it is a good C.D to listen to while you cleaning the house

I received my CD in a very timely fashion, I was also grateful for the packaging, which kept the CD from any scratches on the outside of the album. The CD was without any scratches, completly new and unused with the clear tape still on. The music was clear as water, too. Thank you very much for this quality product!

First off, this isn't really focused on the movie. As you can see from the title (Def Jam's Rush Hour Soundtrack) this is mainly an excuse to get a compilation of Def Jam artists out there. Although the skits are from the movie, and Can I Get A was used in one scene, everything else is basically new. So anyways, onto my review. There is nothing unique or special about these songs, but they are enjoyable. The album opens up with the "Skit" Never Touch A Black Mans Radio from the movie. Anybody who has seen the movie should know what scene all of these skits are from, as they are all from major parts in the movie. The CD then goes into the trio of three singles from the album: the mediocre How Deep Is Your Love performed by Dru Hill, the unimaginably boring Faded Pictures by Case and Joe, and the runaway jamming hit Can I Get A . . . by Jay-Z, Amil and Ja Rule which is easily the best song on here. Wu Tang has their song And You Don't Stop, which is pretty good but could have been better. Then Ja Rule has the angry, in your face, almost too much Bitch Betta Have My Money. Some of these songs will make you wonder what rap and hip-hop have come to, but wait. Two of the most awesome songs are coming up. Slick Rick's Impress The Kid is in a league of it's own, and the Montell Jordan/Monifah collaboration If I Die Tonight is sexy and intimate as hell. Everybodies favorite hottie Jon B. delivers well with his song Glad That We Loved, which is also

pretty good. After that, none of the tracks beside the movie snippets are really good. I'd buy this if you like the artists mentioned here, or you want to buy a soundtrack with hip-hop and R&B music. Fans of the movie might like this, but as the biggest song in the movie, War by Edwin Starr, is not included, beware before you buy it.

it was pretty disappointing. i don't mind bad language, but it was way to much, like every other word was a swear. the only really good song is "Can I Get A . . ." the rest are pretty bad. the clips from the movie are really funny, though. overall, it's a waste of money

The Rush Hour soundtrack is the BOMB.The best hits in the soundtrack are Redman,Wu-tang & Dru Hill!! This is a one of the legendary soundtracks like Bulworth & Tales from the hood!!! RAP 4ever!!!

I think this soundtrack does the movie justice (which I also saw). I love all the music on it and I think that if you liked the movie and want to remember it, you should get this soundtrack.

Def Jam Recording's Rush Hour sound track rocks the house and turns it upside down. Songs like Disco, Can I Get A..., and Terror Squadians complement Chris Tucker's hilarious skits taken directly from the movie. Jay-Z and Dru Hill may be the strongest artists on the label, but Wu Tang Clan among others are worth listening to.
