[Surreal]

New Jersey Drive is clearly top 5 smh

 

[gurf]

The Corrupter soundtrack should be on here.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

New Jersey Drive is clearly top 5 smh

New Jersey Drive and Above the Rim should both be in the top 5

Murder Was The Case
Sunset Park
Im Bout It
New Jersey Drive
Above the Rim

That should be the Top 5

No Menace II Society in the list?

 

[Grand_Verbalizer]

Can't front, I definitely agree with the #1 spot

 

[Grand_Verbalizer]

also "Soul In The Hole" is better than quite a few OSTs on that list

 

[010101]

a lost art*

 

[Metal Face]

 

[Damnshow]

When it comes to these movie hip hop soundtracks, The Wash gets criminally underrated. It was a great great soundtrack that should be mentioned.

 

[DANJ!]

New Jersey Drive is clearly top 5 smh

Eh... is it tho'?

Don't get me wrong, the highs are high but it's a lotta mids and lows on that thing for me to say it's an all-time top 5. Kinda the same way people tend to remember The Show for the great cuts and totally forget how much aiiiiight shyt was on it. The lineup is dope, but for all them artists and all them songs on NJD, I can only rock with about half of it.

Now Above The Rim on the other hand... I'm takin' that over Murder Was The Case, TBH. That's a top 5.

 

[Consigliere]

also "Soul In The Hole" is better than quite a few OSTs on that list

This was the first soundtrack that came to mind.

 

[DANJ!]

Menace and Soul In The Hole are definitely missing.

 

[KingTxo]

The show soundtrack was

Gave me my favorite bone thug song with everyday thang 2

 

[greatone]

I'm just happy that gave I'm Bout It the recognition it deserve. It would be #1 on my list but #3 is not bad. I thought Gang Related might make the bottom of the list. It had a couple of songs on there.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Big Money Hustlas should be 1st

The Fear should be second
