Street Fighter

One of my favorite albums. All original songs, by a fantastic line up. Never leaves my vehicle’s CD player.

Good 90’s music

Great CD !

Watch the movie and i use to have the soundtrack on tape and i wanted it on cd. Listening to it years later makes me feel old lol

This Is A Pretty Good Soundtrack... This Is A Soundtrack For The 90'sBut Sadly It Was Missing 2 Songs From This SoundtrackLL Cool J - Life As And Something There - Chage & AskaBut On The Other Hand This Is A Must Have.

This album is probably the best example of 90's sountracks that were considerably better than the movies they were used for. This album has one of the most interesting combinations of artists from both the East and West coasts, with rare tracks that aren't available on other CDs.What makes this sountrack shine is the quality of the beats throughout the album, put together by up-and-coming producers. The Pharcyde flow over horns and scratching on the self-produced cut Pandemonium, and Oakland's own Paris keeps it raw over one of his own P-Funk flavored beats. Also from the Bay Area are The B.U.M.S. (Brothas Unda Madness), dropping lyrics over a haunting Joe Quixx production. Even more interesting is that Oakland producer Quixx also crafted the beat used by East Coast artist Craig Mack's "Do You Have What It Takes" on the soundtrack.The artists that appear on the soundtrack are a "who's who" of early 90's Hip Hop, including Ice Cube, Nas, LL Cool J and Public Enemy. "Come Widdit" is a lyrics-heavy treat that puts Ahmad (of Back In The Days fame), Rass Kass and Saafir on the same track, and the Waterproof MC is gold on this cut. One of the most puzzling inclusions is "Something Kinda Funky" by Rally Ral, an artist that patterns his sound after Spice 1, but has never released any music outside of this soundtrack. One track I could have done without was the MC Hammer and NFL player Deion Sanders (huh?) collaboration "Straight to My Feet."This is a great CD to own for the simple fact that most of the tracks were used exclusively on this soundtrack, and can't be found on any of the artist solo albums. Great artists, beats, and lyrics from a memorable era of Rap.

As most soundtracks attempt to relate to the movie, Street Fighter, is about battles, fights and all out war. Ice Cube starts off this 14 track soundtrack with "Street Fighter". This song has a heavy bassline and repetitive keys to flow with Street Fighter's theme. Star performance by Nas on "One On One" with its mainstream appeal. The Pharcyde causes "Pandemonium" for the lp with it's spanish horns. "It's A Street Fight" by The B.U.M.S. has lyrics to compliment the characters of the movie / game as Craig Mack ask "Do You Have What It Takes?". The "Rap Commando" Anotha Level slightly changes direction but the up, off beat "Rumbo N Da Jungo" by Chuck D & The Wreck League, put's the battle back in its proper prospective. A song that stands out, but strays from the subject is "Come Widdit". This just have three West Coast emcees / rappers display their flowing abilities and nothing less than a classic collaboration with Ahmad, Rass Kass & Saafir. LL Cool J gets rough on "Life As....". This soundtrack wasn't consistent with its direction, but the ones that are pertaining to combat are worth checking out.

Firstly this is one of the most unlikely soundtrack albums ever. Pharcyde and Ras Kass on the sound track to this terrible film? How? It gets better: "One On One", Nas' contribution here, is AS GOOD AS ANYTHING ON ILLMATIC and possibly EVEN BETTER than a couple of the tracks on it ( I would say it's better than "One Time For Your Mind" and "Represent"...that's just my opinion ). Awesome track. Anyway nothing else here really comes close to matching it but it's a solid listen throughout, with mid-90's hip hop groups like B.U.M.S. and rap ledgends like Ice Cube and Chuck D all weighing in with decent material.For hip hop fans this is definitely recommended, I would love to have seen kids faces who bought this album expecting macho-style cheesy rock anthems and power ballads ( as you would expect a film of this nature to be soundtracked by ). ahaha...I bet there were some disappointed kids out there!
