Now one would think that a rap song about a washed-up comic book character would be silly and/or stupid, but believe it or not, this song is pretty pimped out. And I agree with Mr. Heering, it's alot better than the two versions on the soundtrack album. I higly recommend this disc.

This is the single version of Ice-T's "Dick Tracy" song from the movie of the same name. It is nothing like the version featured on the movie soundtrack. That version was like a 1930s rap song (yes, i'm aware that rap didn't exist back in the 1930s). The version of "Dick Tracy" here is more contemporary, with different backing music and a completely different rap by Ice. This version is a lot better than the movie version. There are actually four different mixes of the song, which are as follows:

1. Dick Tracy (Radio Edit) 3:31
2. Dick Tracy (Vocal Version) 6:14
3. Dick Tracy (Instrumental) 6:07
4. Dick Tracy (Bonus Beats) 5:55

The Vocal Version is the complete version. The Radio Edit fades out early. The Instrumental is the Vocal Version with Ice-T's rap missing, but the other vocalists still included. Bonus Beats is the Vocal Version with no vocalists.
