In the classic history of movie soundtracks, they’re never
as good as the movie. Plain and simple. But, I’m here to tell you that a rose
has grown out of the concrete in the form of The
Wash
soundtrack.
Taken from the movie featuring Snoop
Dogg
and Dr. Dre, the 17 track
album features Busta Rhymes, Bubba
Sparxxx
, D12,Xzibit and Soopafly with production by Dre,
Hi Tek, Timberland, Eminem Mel-Man and
Soopafly, the soundtrack shows that
a soundtrack can be as good as the movie, if not better.

The hits are in full effect on this album with everyone shining bright. On the Blvd by Dre and Snoop is a
definite banger, and gets your body shaking at Dre‘s beautiful production and Snoop‘s
laid back demeanour. Also, Holla by Busta Rhymes makes the world become
even more hungry for Busta‘s new
album, Get f***ed up with me by Mr X to the Z, with it’s dark sounding
bass line will freak out of speakers until the end of the year. Although D12 and Bubba Sparxxx take tracks from their albums and place them on the
soundtrack, artist Soopafly bang on Gotta Get dis money and the biggest
surprise of the album is Joe Beast
on No which uses the call and response
of Whoa but mutates lyrics with the
freakiest piano break in hip-hop today.

The album doesn’t just bounce on the hip-hop vibe as Bilal makes an appearance on Bring 2 and Shaunta springs on Good Lovin’ with it’s addictive
hand claps. But the soulfully exalted track on the album comes from Toi on Everytime,
who flows over Slum Village‘s highly
underrated Get dis money.

In the abundance of hip hop soundtracks produced, not many get rated as great
or even good, except Above the Rim and
Friday. Now Dr. Dre, who was involved in both soundtracks, has made sure that
this soundtrack hits the mark. And, trust me, it’s worth a part of your
paycheque.
