4.0 out of 5 stars Good but Bias, January 11, 2003

By	Anthony Hanes "anthony_hanes" (winston-salem, north carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a good soundtrack but bias at the same time. Tupac was the star of the movie and it's set in New York. So...why are all of the rap songs west coast joints...there should have been new york hip hop on there as well. Why wasn't Tupac's "Pain" on there...it was the best song on the musical score....makes me think....

By	pipo (PARIS, FRANCE) - See all my reviews

4.0 out of 5 stars great collection, February 25, 2002

By	Chris DaMour (East Lansing, MI United States) - See all my reviews

There are some absolute classics on this soundtrack, it's basically a greatest hits of rap between 1993-1995. It is missing two key songs that were in the movie 2Pac's pain & loyal 2 the game. I don't understand why they weren't on it, kind of a let down since i bought it for pain, which any knowledgeable person knows is the best 2pac song of all.
