I loved this movie and I thought that every song choice was perfect. As soon as it finished playing I started downloading all the songs on the soundtrack one by one (I read here that every good hip-hop fan already has these songs in their collection; sorry, I'm new to the genre!). I found two different song lists for this album: this one on Amazon, and the one listed on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, both lists are missing songs!
I'm not sure if there are more missing, but the two that I've found are Bonita Applebum by A Tribe Called Quest (the subway fantasy) and Lost at Birth by Public Enemy (the scene where Luke is running around giving the middle finger to everyone in New York City). I hope this helps some fans who noticed the song list for this soundtrack is short!

Even though, when this is not a "new material", the music is excellent. The whole idea of the music played on the film was to make it fit on the 1994's state of new york city. Good rap with style.
It was a very good selection of songs.
Definitively worth it- Play some samples if you are not sure...

The amazon mp3 store offers 2 extra tracks not featured on the disc. These 2 tracks are "All the Young Dudes" by Mott the Hoople and "Season of the Witch" by Donovan.

The album is amazing--nothing but the best.

Wu-Tang forever. Peace.

Every time I listen to this album, it reminds me of my experimental days as an early teenager. I love it!

This was for my daughter so I have not heard this CD but she really likes it.

Where to start. I don't have much time. This sound track (as well as the movie) is spectacular. It captures the essence of a good mid ground in between mainstream and underground hip hop. I can really feel what Luke was living through these tracks, being as I can relate to so much of what him and other characters of the movie are going through. And yes, I already did have almost every song in my collection, but it's nice to see them come together in this way. Peep it, enjoy, and do some research if you like these songs. Find some more of the same genre and artists. Long live 90's hip hop.

Great soundtrack,for those who have not seen the movie, watch it! I'm sure many can relate to the first time they had there heart broken,trully classic!! for those who dig those throw back!!! hip hop joints..

While every song on this soundtrack is by far a classic it falls short on new material. Any real hip hop head(especially one from NY or who lived in NY in the 90s) would have all these songs in theie collection somewhere and propably most in their ipods if they have at least a 80g ipod. What should have been done with this soundtrack was have the old classics but add new tracks from everyone of those artist. Maybe the money wasn't there for them to produce that type of soundtrack. Whats even more sad is that with the way mp3 downloads are so easy to get these days with internet access I see no reason why anyone would spend money on this anyway. I only rate this 2 stars because of the classic material on this soundtrack which most hip hop from the 90s was classic anyway. To bad there is no new material on this album.
