Nelly's a smart guy. Not only does he have an acting role in The Longest Yard, but he also co-produced the movie's soundtrack and loaded it with tracks by himself and members of his Derrty Ent. stable including St. Lunatics' Ali, Goodie Mob's Gipp, Jung True (both solo and as a member of Taylor Made), King Jacob, and Prentiss Church. Fittingly for a movie in which we're meant to buy Adam Sandler as a former star quarterback, the music shows commercial instinct but ultimately lacks punch. Even a track like Ali & Gipp's "Let 'Em Fight," only reminds us how much harder Public Enemy hit 20 years ago (and we're not even talking lyrics but production here). Highlights include Murphy Lee, King Jacob, and Prentiss Church's "Stomp," which sounds appropriately bottom-heavy and sports cleverer than usual lyrics, and D12 featuring Eminem's "My Ballz," a goofball (sorry) of a song that actually grows catchier with each listen. The CD concludes with Nelly in his mellower mode, which should appeal to both fans of his 2004 R&B-inflected Suit, and women dragged to The Longest Yard by their boyfriends. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

No Doubt...not on there
Creedence Clearwater Revival...not on there
AC/DC...not on there
John Lee Hooker...Not on there

I guess if you want the real soundtrack, you will have it piece it together yourself at I-tunes...

1.0 out of 5 stars These are not the songs from the movie, November 5, 2005

When I saw this movie, I thought this is a soundtrack I got to have. I went out and bought it the next day. It took about 10 minutes for me to realize that I'd made a huge mistake. The soundtrack is not really a "soundtrack". I could hardly pick out the songs on the CD as being songs in the movie. I was really looking forward to the diverse mix of rock and hip-hop that was in the movie, but all that the soundtrack has is Nelly, Nelly, Nelly. Where's the other cool songs from the movie? My review is one star because they won't allow less than that!
