Editorial Reviews

This album is ostensibly the soundtrack to the car-chase flick of the same name, featuring Gotti's own Murder Inc. soldier, Ja Rule. It's chock-full of samples previously utilized to better effect by Tha Alkaholiks, Dr. Dre, and Swizz Beats (who, on the misguided Limp Bizkit/DMX/Redman/Method Man combo, "Rolling," actually reworks one of his own beats). According to the liner notes, the album was "conceived and created by IRV GOTTI" (note the block caps), but it's unclear why Mr. Gotti wishes to take full responsibility for this half-baked mixture of posturing hip-hop and ineffective R&B. The most obvious clunker is the aforementioned "Rolling," which comes off as a wan retread of the Beasties' "What You Want?" Vita's right behind them with a pointless word-for-word cover of Madonna's "Justify My Love." The album's not a complete washout, though. R. Kelly steps in to save the day with the lovely "Take My Time Tonight," and Nate Dogg adds his inimitable brand of L.B. funk to Shade Sheist's "Cali Diseaz." And perhaps most notably, The Fast and the Furious offers a chance to catch Petey Pablo before he really grasps the brass ring. --Rebecca Levine

3.0 out of 5 stars Actual Music In The Movie, October 22, 2001

By A Customer

Here's a list of the actual songs used in the movie. "Deep Enough" - Live (When Brian pulls up to Toretto's Diner) although it's some rap version. "Lock It Down" - Digital Assassins (What Dom plays they race on the street). "Nurega" - Organic Audio (When Dom & Brian arrive at the party). "Polka Palabras" - Molotov (One of the spanish rap). "Superstar" - Saliva (Not sure). "Debonaire" - Dope (When the SWAT bust Johnny Tran). "Watch Your Back" - Benny Cassette (When Brian and Vince fight). "Nocturnal Transmission" - BT. "Godspeed" - BT. There's a few more, but I can't remember, hope this helps. (...)

2.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not what I was looking for from this movie!, July 1, 2001

By	"catalinay" (CA United States) - See all my reviews

This is an okay mix of songs, but it's nothing like the music played in the movie. I was really disappointed listening to the samples, because NONE of the songs I loved from the movie are here. And I can't place most of these songs as even being in the movie. I'm glad I listened to the samples before going out and buying this CD!

1.0 out of 5 stars don't buy this if you want the real music from the movie!, July 24, 2001

By	Sunny16 (Astoria, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Like many others here, I ran to the record store after leaving the movie without listening to the soundtrack online first. Silly me for expecting to hear actual music from the movie. What a ripoff...
