Has to be in the top 5 hip hop soundtracks of all time:

I loved Above The Rim when it came out - I used to watch it on VHS almost every day after school when I got a copy of it. Those were the days, when Snoop, DPG and 2Pac were at their best - watching the movie and then listening to the soundtrack would really psyche me up to go and play ball for hours! Even to this day, I love listening to this CD(although not nearly as often), and it is one of my favourite - if not my absolute favourite, soundtrack of all time. Get Rich or Die Trying soundtrack has to be... more info

Good Stuff!:

A little vain, but a good listen when you got nothin else to do. I bought this cd right when it came out for the song regulate. And Over the years I have found that many other songs are great on here as well. Ive never seen the movie, but the music is good! Whats this about songs being deleted? omitting tupac songs from this is a blunder, but there were probably monetary reasons behind it. oh well... live by the sword, die by the sword. i think i will see the movie now. God bless internet!

BULLSHIT!:

I can't believe they omitted Pain and Loyal To The Game by Tupac. Those songs (especially Pain) where the songs that attracted me to this album. And they didn't even make up for this by releasing them on his greatest hits album. Either they release those songs or i've got a good mind to start selling copies out of my car.
But aside from that there's some very good songs here. The standouts are Pour Out A Little Liquor, Regulate, Afro Puffs, Big Pimpin, Dogg Pound 4 Life and Gonna Give It Ta Ya
