The entire soundtrack was tight, but track two made it complete and then some (thanks to RELL). Love for Free is HOT!

Jay-Z gets a ton of credit and rightfully so but this one fell through the cracks. I was happy to find this on Amazon as I had been searching for the song In My Lifetime for many years after hearing during the credits of the movie "Bullet" starring Mickey Rourke and 2pac. I then was even happier once I heard the whole album it's no joke! I guess because this was marketed as a soundtrack and not a Jay-Z album it went a lot less noticed but it essentially is a Jay-Z album with good backing from several artists such as Noreaga and Murder Inc. It's Alright and obviously In My Lifetime are my favorites. So if you are or know Jay-Z fans spread the word on this one you won't be sorry...

For a soundtrack this is a pretty good album. It features a few different artists from Roc-a-Fella records. If you're a Jay-z fan you will like this album, it has a couple tracks that weren't released on anyother album.

I HAVE THIS,NEVER THOUGHT JAY COULD ACT,HE SHOCK ME.I LIKE THIS MOVIE...PLUS DAME IS IN IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE...THIS IS A MUST SEE FOR ALL VIEWERS.

The soundtrack to the independent movie, Streets Is Watching, proves the reason why Roc-A-Fella was leading the pack with releases like this. As seven of the twelve tracks featured Jay-Z, he forcefully taken control of the situation. As he plants his position on "Only A Customer" the price tags have no meaning to the expensive flow. This soundtrack has the best of R&B and hip-hop/rap to be found. The upbeat tune of "Love For Free" featuring Jay-Z is laced with a simple chord of a piano that's easy to get into by Rell. Christion took it back with a 70's feel on "Pimp This Love". Jay-Z, Ja Rule & DMX teamed up as Murder Inc. for the killer "Murdergram". The love song or anti-love song, "Crazy" by Usual Suspects, sneak up for addiction. "Thugs R Us" has this roll type feel to it as DJ Clue features the lyrics of Noreaga. The closure of "Celebration (Team Roc)" ends on such a high note featuring Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek, Sauce Money & Wais on this more of an introduction to what's to come.

This soundtrack is good quality. Features Jay-Z on about 8 of the 12 songs. Has a couple of slow/R&B songs but it's definitely worth checkin' out if you ain't get a copy in the mid 90's when it came out get one now. The best songs are:
#1 (w/ Amil & Memphis Bleek)
#3 (Jay-Z)
#5 (classic track by: Jay-Z, DMX, Ja Rule)
#10 (Noreaga)
#11 (M.O.P)
#12 (Jay-Z, Sauce Money, & The Ranhjahz)

PS check all my reviews out

I've had this CD in 1998 when it first came out but of course it had gotten a little beat up and was very hard to find another one. Now that I have it again I'm really souped up! I've loved this CD since then and I still love it. I love it for it's versatility and unique style. The way rocafella records brought together "Hardcore" R&B Singers to not so "Hardcore" R&B singers with rappers as raw & ruff as M.O.P. to not so raw like N.O.R.E. all the way to Pain In Da A-- and his remarks. Oh, and the interludes are THE FUNNIEST!

stay in the biz go for the uraniu

Jay-Z is a rap icon and consistency has been his middle name. most soundtracks are weak but this is a pretty good effort. Tracks like "In My Lifetime", "Only A Customer", and "Murdergram" all hit hard. What about the MOP Track...crazy..keep doing your thing ..young Hova..

This Album is hot feat 12 hot tracks Jay did his thing on this
