Interestingly enough there's really only one bona fide classic included on this portion of the soundtrack.
And another one time hyped MC, Shyne, is represented with the dark angelic floss of "More Or Less." (as with the segue of Guerilla Black into Pac, this one seems premeditated as both Aasim and Shyne were once heralded as the saviors of Bad Boy Records). Additionally Jay Live gives us "Dark Corner," one of the more musically upbeat numbers included. That both of these cats have been touted as the next big things but still have yet to drop albums makes the track a wonderful appetite whetter. Aasim and Jae Millz deliver "God With The Flow." The Queens rapper teams up legendary NYC battle rapper for a slick blast of Harlem juice. It's a dark, minimalistic strut that allows Fran to kick his deep-seated voice and create a ruff, rugged, and raw blast of true hardcore thematics. The album concludes with "In The City" by New York indie rapper Franchize. In terms of other exclusive tracks Bay Area underground superstar Yukmouth (of the legendary Luniz) shines on "On The Run." A fuzzed out bass/guitar blitz sets up the monotonously ominous chug rhythm over which Yuk gets busy. While not as outwardly gritty as "Shot-Gun," it's still no-holds-barred. It features Lavel joining him for a little lyrical melee. Blaze's other joint "Look Out!" is one of the game exclusive numbers. It's a caustic, brash blast of intensity. Insane Clown Posse homie Blaze kicks out no less than two tracks here, beginning with "Shot-Gun" featuring Detroit acid rapper Esham and ABK. Latino bad boys Locura Terminal, one of the few groups to have two songs included on the soundtrack, again bring the Spanish flavoring, this time with a much more aggressive stance (not to mention the track is entirely sung in Spanish as opposed to their English drop-in on their other contribution "Prisonero" off of Disc 01). That this track is paired next to 2Pac's duet with Nutso "Ghetto Star" makes for an all too eerie segue.
styled flow on "Yes Sir," his resemblance to the dearly departed king of New York more than a bit uncanny. Street Lady - Donald Byrd (and the Mizell Brothers)ģ9.Shifting Gears - Johnny 'Hammond' SmithĤ1.Guerilla Black comes with his Notorious B.I.G. Bustin' Loose - Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchersģ3. Smack the Bird - performed by The Nimrod ExpressĢ6. Plastic Boys - performed by "King G and the Reflections"Ģ5.
Come And Get It - "Prince Of Brooklyn" Ģ4. Mango Man - "The Fabulous Bongo Brothers" ġ6. Pick Up the Pieces - Average White Bandġ2.
One Way Or Another - Blondie (Ok, this is cool, for the song appears on their 1978 album Parallel Lines)Ġ5. The songs play in loop, so I don't know which song is the first, but the order is correct.Ġ1. Listen to some song exerpts on iTunes helped me a lot. It took aome time recognising all the tracks, some of them are instrumentals which excludes lyric-search, and some of them (in italics) was made esxlusively by the game music composer Nimrod Productions. The result was approx 2,5 hours of (in my opinion) great mood-setting stuff.
#25 TO LIFE PS2 SOUNDTRACK PC#
I set the SFX on 0, plugged the audio cables to the pc and let Audacity do it's work. Ok, so half a year ago I did the dirty job of recording all the 1978-era ingame music with Audacity.
