This album succeeded in getting rappers from everywhere on here (East, west, south, midwest) but most of the tracks are just average. It has a lot of big names on here but most of the songs they put on the soundtrack are probably throw aways and it shows. It starts off very strong but halfway through most of the tracks that follow aren't really any good and not worth listening to (A few after number 7 are good but not many). There are some skippable tracks but there are also some real good songs. I'm up in the air for a recommendation, if you like all kinds of rap then this is for you, if you really are only a fan of one kind of rap, then I wouldn't get this.

#2 - 9 (Kurupt & Nate Dogg)

#6 - 8 (slower song by Krayzie Bone f/ Lareece)
#7 - 6.5 (Master P, Slay Sean, Short Circuit, Krazy)
#8 - 4 (Devin the Dude - one of my least favorite of his songs ever)
#9 - 7 (Kool G Rap, Lord Jamar, Talib Kweli)
#10 - 5 (East Side Cult)
#11 - 6 (Cypress Hill)
#12 - 10 (classic gangsa $h!+ - Styles f/ Jadakiss)

This soundtrack is DOPE!

Not only does it have the who's who of hip hop 'n rap but also has they beats and lyrics that are just as hot as the artists are!

It's not often that you get West Coast and the East Coast sounds on a soundtrack like this....OZ THA SOUNDTRACK IS DEFINITELY BANGIN'!!

WOW I WAS SUPRISED AT THE CONSISTENCY ON THIS LP RIGHT HERE.. WHILE THERE IS NOT ONE STANDOUT CUT THERE REALLY ISNT ANY SUBPAR CUTS EITHER. THE WHOLE CD IS DOPE. ONE OF THE MOST SOLID CDS FROM BEGINNING TO END THAT I HAVE HEARD IN A WHILE. BUY IT.

OK HERE WE GO

1."INTRO"-skipable

2."BEHIND THE WALLS"-This is the best song on here, Kurupt rips it and Nate Dogg holds it down. The beat is done by Mike Dean

3."WHAT U IN FO"-The Wu come threw, but it's not their best

4."LAND OF OZ"A bouncy Snoop song, it's ok

5."WHAT IS LAW"-IT'S OK

6."SHACKLED UP"-Krayzie Bone lays a tight song down for ya

7."LOCKED UP"-Master P.......skip

8."CAN'T WAIT"-Devin Tha Dude comes correct on this

9."OZ THEME SONG"-GREAT JOINT, BUMP IT

10.NO SUNSHINE"-SKIP, I DID

11."CAN I LIVE"-The second best song on the cd, Cypress Hill are great, and always will be

12."SOME NIGGAS"-Styles and Jadakiss stop by for a minute

13."THUG NIGGAS DON'T LIVE THAT LONG"-An ok track from Trick Daddy

14."TONIGHT"-Great song from Drag'on

15."INCARCERATED"-No Limit stops by again, a little better this time around

16."WAR WIT US"-Three Six Mafia have done better then this

17."WHAT YA GONNA DO"-Tez and Tajiee do this one, I like this joint

thats it, 1

Look here playas. This CD is Kinda whack because these idiots Wu-Tang and Bone are on it and kill it to death. Kurupt, Snoop, and Cypress make this CD a beauty. Three 6 Mafia also has a Nice bomb track on it. big ups to Kurupt and Snoop and Nate. DONT BUY THIS CD. It is very repetitios and boring. just get the tracks from kurupt, snoop, cypress, and 36mafia.... this CD isnt good to WASTE money on.

This cd is not what i expected it to be. With all of the good rappers on it, i thought it would be some what good. I was wrong. The only good song on this cd is Three 6 Mafia - War Wit Us. If you're looking for a good cd, don't get this one

Kurupt's song behind the wall made me buy the whole soundtrack. There are some other songs on that cd that i thought were ok, but they were just ok.

Like most soundtracks, this one serves it's purpose, but is nothing special musically.
There are a few nice tracks, like Behind The Walls, I'm Shackled Up, and War Wit Us. But the majority of the album is filled with just average music (the exception being Master P's "Locked Up," which would qualify as just AWFUL music).
The album also suffers from a lack of diversity subject matter-wise. While it serves it's purpose as far as relating to the show, it makes for a monotonous listen.
Best advice: unless you're a die-hard Oz fan, save your money.

I was mainly after the main title theme, does it have a name and artist, I am getting that it is not on this album?

this is the best soundtrack i heard in a while people! kurupt's track is bangin with nate in the background giving him some love. wu-tang's track is tite with rza coming with some follow up lyrics from his domestic violence track from bobby digital. snoop's and drag on's track on it is just funky, something you can bounce and rub up on a girl to, nah mean. pharoahe monch comes correct on the lyrics for his track "what is the law" and the beat gets your head noddin. krayzie bone's track is a mellow track something for you peeps to smoke to. kool g rap comes through with some thug rhymes on the oz theme joint. and cypress hill came through with a dope track. if you feelin the show and a hiphop fan you gotta check this album out. if you just a hiphop head and can't afford HBO or just have basic cable or no cable at all check it out for some bangin tracks by some of hiphop's best, nah mean. CA all DAY! peace!
