3.0 out of 5 stars Could Have been better, November 15, 2004

With all of the rap songs that are onthe video game they could have put together something much better. It has it's highpoints but after about the 10th track, there is nothing really worth listening to and I usually turn it off. All of the big named rappers and good songs are in the beginning of the CD (except 1)then they get some no names that make junk. Not recommended - download the 7 or 8 that are worth it and skip the rest.

#1 - 8 (snoop)
#2 - 9 (WC, Ice Cube, Mack 10 {Westside Connection} - also on thier "Terrorist Threats" cd)
#3 - 7 (suga Free)
#4 - 7.5 (Warren G f/ RBX)
#5 - 7.5 (Bishop Lamont, Young Dre, Black, Gangsta ...)
#6 - 9 (Damizza & NUNE - upbeat track)
#7 - 8 (Jayo Felony)
#8 - 9 (Bizzy Bone - maybe the best song on the album)
#9 - 2 (hlooywood)
#10 - 8 (Caviar, Above the Law {KMG & Cold 187 um} & Kam)
#11 - 6 (Boo Yaa tribe)
#12 - 6 (dee dimes)
#13 - 6.5 (sly boogy)
#14 - 5 (lil half dead, quicktomac, kontroversy, showtime)

4.0 out of 5 stars True Crime- Streets of LA: The Soundtrack, December 29, 2003

This review is from: True Crime - Streets of LA: The Soundtrack (Audio CD)

"True Crime Streets of LA: The Soundtrack" (2003) is an impressive twenty track release, what I like about it most is it is a decent showcase of West Coast Rap talent, old and new alike, established and up and coming. The music found throughout is excellent background music for the game (which is off the hook), independant of the game it is also a memorable soundtrack. Snoop Dogg starts the album off with "Dance Wit Me", a track which samples the soulful smooth vocals of the late great Marvin Gaye. Snoop to me has always been great on collabrations, and this is another example of that, great start to the album. Next the Westside Connection trio of Ice Cube, Mack 10, W.C deliver the banging "Terrorist Threat", which is followed up Suga Free on "Don't Fight The Pimpin'" a DJ Quik produced track with an oldschool feel to it. Warren G & RBX come through strong with the hardcore "What U Wanna Do". Young Dre, Bishop Lamont, Black & Sixx John some of the newer West Coast talent drop another banging collabration with "True Crime Remix" (The New West Edition). Damizza & N.U.N.E. deliver an upbeat funkified track with "Ill Do Anything", and Jayo Felony drops a track about the ladies on "Thug Night (Let Me See Something)". Bizzy Bones distinct flow on "Hollywood" makes another standout cut. Next Hollywood drops a semi-decent R & B party track with "Drinks in the Air". Kam, Cavie and Above the Law drop a relentless banger with "Don't Do The Crime" and Boo Ya Tribe lay down the law on "Legends". Dee Dimes and Big Swoop kick it with "They Don't Know" and Sly Boogy grooves with "Flow". Next Lil_Dead, Showtime, Kon-troversy & Quicktomac rep L.A. with "This Is How We Live" and the female group Soul Star drops a track for the clubs on "We Don't Stop". Big Tray Deee, Short Khop & Threat get gangstified on "Can't Fuck With Us". Pomona City Rydaz & Lil_Dead move through on the fastlane with "Do Time". The Young Billionaires sound very young on "Roll Wit Me". Stylistik drops a decent pounding track with "Cali Folks". I was really intrested in hearing the final track as it has features NWA legend Eazy-E's son, Lil' Eazy E on a track called get "Get Crackin'". Lil' Eazy E does not disappoint coming through with a fast flow, while paying tribute to his pops and showing his hunger to make it the game. Production and beats are tight through out this, and while I dont feel every artist on this and will skip some tracks, there is a number of memorable tracks that make "True Crime Streets of La: The Soundtrack" a release I would recommend for the collection, especially for those who enjoy West Coast Hip Hop.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crap, January 15, 2005

I think True Crime is an excellent action game. However, I feel the soundtrack is extremely lackluster. Most of the songs sound the same, and aren't really that interesting. Even worse, my favorite songs from the game(such as the one that plays during the spa shootout or the music from the battle with Kim) aren't even on the CD. Personally, I think only extremely hardcore fans of the game should check it out, the rest should stay away.
