Hip-hop used in Film?

Teddy C.D. · Post by **Teddy C.D.** » Fri Mar 19, 2010 5:51 pm

Sup guys, I'm thinking of putting together a compilation of rap songs used in movies. The criteria for this really, is either an original song made for a film (like Crooklyn) or a previous song that was used heavily in a film, and has become that movie's signature (ie Fight the Power).

Here's what I have so far off the top of my head:

1. Public Enemy- Fight the Power (Do the Right Thing)
2. Schoolly D- King of New York (King of New York)
3. Schoolly D- Signifying Rapper (Bad Lieutenant)
3. Crooklyn Dodgers- Crooklyn (Crooklyn)
4. Crooklyn Dodgers- Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers (Clockers)
5. Eric B. and Rakim- Juice (Know the Ledge) (Juice)
6. Coolio- Gangster's Paradise (Dangerous Minds)
7. Public Enemy- He Got Game

What else do you guys know of? If you have the MP3s uploaded, that'd be much appreciated too. Thanks!

Liks - Coast II Coast
Ice Cube - How To Survive in South Central

i never listened to it but I remember Above the Rim being popular as fuck when it came out. There might be something on there that fits in with your mold.

Didn't Master P have a few films where he did the film title tracks?

Actually, this isn't posting an actual mixtape. When the actual one is done I'll post it there. This just a discussion on the best movie soundtracks to get some ideas going.

IF you were referring to me haha. If not, well, carry on and ignore everything I said

Props man, I almost forgot about that Ice Cube joint!

Now that I realize it, we could probably do a compilation of JUST Spike Lee movie soundtracks. The man is the best director at fusing hip-hop into his scores. He Got Game was an entire soundtrack by Public Enemy...
I also just remembered CMW's "Growin' Up in the Hood." Great stuff, thanks guys.

That's true. I believe Gang Starr's Jazz Thing was also commissioned by Spike for Mo Better Blues.

Ah, I think this is what Thun was referring to: http://www.mediafire.com/?fznzkt2vmyy

Another fave go-to group for 90s movie sdtks was Pete Rock & CL, probably because they were so literal about putting the movie titles in their songs.

Whatגs Next On The Menu- "Take your family to go see 'Who's The Man'"

One In A Million- "Now let's watch a flick by John Singleton" and "Justice must-ice be hotter than a sauna" and "Many call this my poetice justice"

Death Becomes You- Menace II Society is mentioned in the intro, and by far the most violent, thugged out song they ever did.

Dope joints, but not at all subtle.

The mp3s I have of these are all 128kbps. Sacrilege.

The New Jersey Drive OST was dope anyway, but in the movie they played one of my favorite late 90's independent tracks (MF Grimm Emotions), it also featured some more tracks by Dr. Butcher

Quick gripe: Training Day- Good movie for what it was. I didn't like the end, it kind of made a believable movie completely unbelievable.

Anyway, imo, the best song off the soundtrack was Gangstarr's The Squeeze.
I know I'm biased but it fit the movie perfect.
AND THEY NEVER EVEN PLAYED IT IN THE MOVIE!?
At least when the closing credits came up, The Squeeze should have played.

Sorry for derailing, I always wanted to make that complaint to someone, anyone.

So I guess in my head The Squeeze goes hand in hand with Training Day, though I am definitely the only one.
