Advantages: A few scarface film samples Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing
Many people have been influenced by the scarface film and the rap genre has especially referenced to it man songs. This is now an official compilation of songs with money, power and respect themes. as you would imagine, all are rap.
Put together in 2003, this def jam idea includes songs by Nas, Mobb Deep and Notorious BIG, some made especially for the album some old tracks that just fit. None appear in the film but there are samples and dialouge used from the picture.
Tracks
Its Mine - Mobb Deep & Nas. Scarface cues used as the sample in this one which was originally put t ogether in 99. A good relevant track to start the album
Yeo - Cam'ron. Samples Rush Rush which is used in the film, rush rush get the yayo may be more familiar. best bit about the song is actually the sample with cam'rons raps not adding much but loads ...
Advantages: Collection of versatile singers. Disadvantages: Several song selection for selective artists are not suitable.
Season 4 still remains my favourite thus far perhaps due to the versatility and unique style of the contestants. There were even some very good singers not making it to the top 12 which says a lot about what you are going to experience in this wonderfully put together CD.
The notable tracks for me are:
"Independence Day" by Carrie Underwood
"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" by Nadia Turner.
"I Don't Want To Be" by Bo Bice
"Everytime You Go Away" by Anthony Fedorov
"A House Is Not A Home" by Anwar Robinson
The main letdown for me is they should have changed Constantine Maroulis song to "Bohemian Rhapsody" where he shined in the competition instead of "My Funny Valentine" which he did sort of ok for me.
As for the last track which features all the contestants is beautifully arranged. They all sound so good together ...
This is one of the first compilation CD's I ever bought. At the time I thought it was fantastic, but over the years I've seemed to have grown a little sick of some of the songs.
If anyone remembers the days of Shaggy and Oh Carolina, well, you'll like this compilation as it's full of old songs like that, (and that song sure does bring abck quite a few memories!)
Artists include:
Reel 2 Reel, Haddaway, M People, Aswad, Sister Sledge, Shaggy, Robin S, 2 Unlimited, Capella, Prodigy, The Shamen, Snap, Seal, S'Express and Black Box....
As you can tell by some of the above names, most of them are the oldies!
Brilliant to keep for 'old time sakes'. ...
