Re: Soul In The Hole vs. Above The Rim
The soundtracks or the movies? Cause, honestly, both these movies were pretty bad.
Soul in the hole had a better soundtrack though.

Re: Soul In The Hole vs. Above The Rim
Above the Rim was the soundtrack to every BBQ and house party I went to in the mid 90s. Good times.
Voted that.

Re: Soul In The Hole vs. Above The Rim
Soul In The Hole is more my style, rugged mid-90's East Coast Hip Hop at it's finest. The soundtrack has one after the other song that stayed in heavy rotation on the best of NYC underground radio.

Above The Rim is classic rapsploitation
Soul In The Hole is one of those unconsciously naturalistic NY documentaries that inadvertently works as a great slice of life look at how this city used to be, similar to 80 Blocks From Tiffany's
Soul In The Hole does have the better soundtrack though
Good poll

Re: Soul In The Hole vs. Above The Rim
Above The Rim came out in late March, but this Death Row influenced album stayed in our tape decks for months. And the key word is tape decks, because the cassette was the right format to own for this release. It featured 2 bonus 2Pac tracks (Pain and Loyal To The Game). Dogg Pound 4 Life & Big Pimpin’ got us ready for Dogg Food. You saw the birth of the Death Row connections with DJ Quik and Jodeci on here. You had the classics Regulate, Afro Puffs, Pour Out A Little Liquor and the pre-Wu-Tang laced Anything SWV. You had Daz standing alone, no more sharing credit or getting his stolen. This album was a perfect mix of g-funk and g-string classics. Soul In The Hole dropped in the summer ’97. It was pretty much a Loud influenced record like ATR was Death Row. This was around the time Loud was at its peak. Yes, most of the Loud classics came prior to this release but as a label, all eyes were on them. Soul was a more complete album with little to no filler. You had heavyweights to undercards stealing shine like Darc Mind, Cella Dwellas and the @djpremier laced Against The Grain by Sauce Money. High Expectation was my fav. Rare Species is vintage Mobb Deep. Having M.O.P., O.C., Organized, Nubian, Xzibit and Wu-Tang couldn’t hurt either. Although, I thought both Wu joints were kinda whatever. Still, the line-up looked like a Rock The Bells circa ’08 line-up.

Above the Rim even though the best song from the movie wasn't even on the fuckin soundtrack. Was a B-side to Regulate if I'm remembering right.
This was in the movie too but oddly showed up on the Sunset Park OST instead a few years later....

^^^ Was gonna post Just Doggin'. Such a choon. That, What Would You Do, Big Pimpin' and Dogg Pound 4 Life all shoulda been on the first Dogg Pound album.
Above The Rim contains a lot of lukewarm R&b shit, but its highlights obliterate Soul In The Hole highlights.

Re: Soul In The Hole vs. Above The Rim
Common's High Expectations is a tremendous song from an era in which I believe he peaked (96-98). The rest of the Soul In The Hole soundtrack is garbage. Even the Organized Konfusion track sucks, and they were on fire right around that time.
Above The Rim is beneath my contempt.
Voted Soul In The Hole by default.

Re: Soul In The Hole vs. Above The Rim
So for completely unrelated reasons, I was wiking "G funk era" yesterday which reminded me that "Regulate" was on the above the rim soundtrack.
And I'm also annoyed by the soul in the hole singing bitch.
For these reasons I'm switching my vote to Above the Rim.

I forgot Soul in a the hole entirely (as a movie). I actually loved it when it came out. I think i got it mixed up with something else.drizzle wrote:Blockhead wrote:The soundtracks or the movies? Cause, honestly, both these movies were pretty bad.

that said, Above the rim was always a movie I wanted to enjoy (even on an ironic level) but it was just shitty to me. Like, it had all the parts to be some shit I could watch on cable every time it plays but I can barely sit through 5 minutes of it.
but, yeah, in terms of soundtracks this comes down to more of an east/coast preference thing.

Just Doggin is a remix, the original version is called "Mobbin With tha Dogg Pound" (including a stoned Dr Dre) popped up earlier this year:

If you want the original mp3 and other unreleased DR music from that era peep: http://philaflavaforum.com//forum/viewt ... 2&t=138502" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I voted for Soul in the Hole, no R&B tracks and more consistent quality wise and of course Main Aim :)

Re: Soul In The Hole vs. Above The Rim
I think Ras Mass / Xzibit game face was deleted from soul in the hole for the x files sample too. Would have been even more amazing.
