I may have been the only one to notice, but it seems as though
lately there's been a GLUT of hip-hop dominated soundtracks on
the market. Even for movies with as much commercial crossover
appeal as _Rush Hour_ and _Blade_, we've come away with not the
typical pop music appeal by The Wallflowers and Matther Sweet
but the hardcore sounds of Jay-Z and Mystikal.
* What is the real purpose behind mixing pop films and hip-hop? * Do rappers with loyalistic fans realize the impact of paying $12.99 each time they make yet another side appearance? * Is the industry in fact counting on this loyalty to move their product? * What's more important, an all-star lineup of artists and songs, or a series of cuts actually related to the film? * Are soundtracks these days little more than an excuse for record labels to cash in on the "MTV Party to Go" phenomenon? Tell me your thoughts. Peace, Flash Go To Page: 1
