Though the soundtrack of music from (and, mostly, inspired by) Wild Wild West features just one track by the movie's star, Will Smith, the spirit of the Fresh Prince is all over this disc. Tracks by BLACKstreet, MC Lyte, Tatyana Ali, and even Slick Rick give hip-hop and R&B elements an infectious pop sheen. Of course, except the Morricone-esque intro to Dr. Dre & Eminem's "Bad Guys Always Die" (one of the disc's better tunes), there's really nothing western about this album at all. Still, it's a far more catchy album than Smith's prior soundtrack, 1997's Men in Black . --Jason Verlinde

4.0 out of 5 stars Wild, Wild, September 9, 2000

By	"kyara" (The Other Realm) - See all my reviews

Ha, ha, here we go again! Wild Wild West is a pretty good movie, so I decided to get this. I was at first, plainly dispointed. I had expected better. (I always do!) But I've got used to it now, and it really isn't so bad. "Wild Wild West", is a great song, probably Will Smith's best. "Bailamos" adds a different flavor to the whole thing, but after that it kinda fails.

"Confused" is a song I've learned to except, and just listen to it anyway; it's not that great, but not that bad. "Keep it Moving" is one of the better songs that I enjoy. "Getting Closer" has a great tune, but it's gets tiring after a while. "Bad Guys Always Die" is probably my second favorite on the CD, I just love Eminem and Dr. Dre. "Mailman" is overall depressing. The other two "exceptable" tunes are "8 minutes to Sunrise" and "Stick Up", even though it seems cut of. The whole thing IS wild.

1.0 out of 5 stars Jeez - it's a pile of smelly trash, September 23, 1999

By A Customer

Oh my god - what was I thinking? I bought the CD on the strength of "Baliamos" figuring that there would at least be another couple of good songs on it. As if! It's all ghetto tribe music for the homies which I have tried listening to and given up. Avoid at all costs!
