I saw the movie three times, and each time I marveled at the perfection of the movie soundtrack. The balance of old rock, country and hiphop was wonderful, and captured the emotion of each scene wonderfully. The movie was great, but the music was what really made it exciting! Searching for a way to relive the movie, I quickly went out to purchase the CD.

What a shame! I wish I could have saved my money for a future DVD release instead! How could anybody put this CD on the market? Dismayed by the tracks on this CD, I looked on Amazon.com to see if they had an alternate soundtrack available.

Nothing!

Why would anyone in their right minds release this CD with only hiphop? I like hiphop, but only to a degree! If I want to buy a rap CD, I'll buy a rap CD, and only if that was my sole intention. When I bought this CD, I was expecting at least some or most of the music from the movie. Not only are there but a couple of songs from the movie, but the rest are only "inspired" by it. What kind of nonsense is that?

Now I wish I could return my purchase, but I can't because it's been opened.

PLEASE RELEASE A BETTER VERSION!!! Maybe then would I be able to stop pounding my fists in dramatic replay of the moment I realized my $14 had gone to utter waste!

The Movie had a wonderful mix of old time rock and rap. The official soundtrack has only a handful of the rap songs found on the movie and the rest are only inspired songs buy the movie. I lake Rap but this is only sub par. Don't buy it!!!!!!!!!!

I appreciated the rap/hip-hop in this movie even though it isn't what I normally would listen to. It is unfortunate that they didn't include some of the great classic rock songs because they were just as crucial as the rap songs in the attempt to capture the viewers. It's a shame that they couldn't have compiled a better variety, but the soundtrack is decent none the less.

This is a Rap/Hip-Hop CD! I just saw the movie and there's a wide diversity of music in the sound track that is NOT on this CD. If you're a rap fan you'll probably be satisfied. The movie also had a LOT of very cool country/bluesy guitar instrumentals that I loved; they had TONE to the max, they were fantastically performed, recorded and produced, they made the hairs on my arms stand on end -- and they are not on this CD. Note to the marketers/producers -- I'm not buying this CD... the CD I want isn't to be had...
CDNOW didn't put listening samples on the page for the Clean version but you can find them on the page thay made for the EXPLICIT LYRICS version.

I just saw this movie and it was great. The music played during the movie was awesome. I ran out and bought the soundtrack and it is horrible! None of the good songs in the movie are on the soundtrack. It is a total letdown.

This is one of the best rap/hip-hop CD I have heard in a while. Totally loved the range of artist. But, this is not all the music from the movie. So if you like rap/hip-hop it's for you. On the other hand, if your looking for all the cool music you heard in the movie this is not the mix you are looking for.

The music in the movie was great, but is missing from the CD.

This cd is tight, especially with Chamillionaire gettin on there with David Banner. Talkn That Talk is by far the best song on the cd. and be on the look out for The Sound of Revenge commin soon

This album shows hip hop diversity. I really like the energy. Especially the "So Fly" record by Akon feat. Blewz. Akon hit em hard with his mellow delivery and hard lines while Blewz came in like a powerful force with metaphors and an original voice. This song is BIG!

This movie was a beautifully organized piece. I decided to check out the soundtrack for the movie, and i found that it is a wonderful addition to The Longest Yard.
