BLADE II - Motion Picture Soundtrack
Like so many hybrid soundtracks before, this one opted for the vast possibilities
opened up by the crossover factor (See the Metal-Rap fusion of Judgement
Night
or Metal-Electronic blending of Spawn).
Here some prominent electronic dance groups & artists get meshed with
Hip-Hoppers to varied effect. The album opens with the attitude filled
Blade theme, created by Danny Saber & Marco Beltrami. The outstanding
numbers come from Paul
Oakenfold
with Ice
Cube
(some heavy guitars injected for additional oomph) while Massive
Attack
and Mos
Def contribute
an attitude-laden track with a dark groove. Where the Fatboy
Slim
tune could've been good with another team-up, the annoying Eve
contribution contains all that sucks in Hip-Hop today: "Where my bitches
at? Wuh! Where my thugs at? Wuh!". Pathetic. But at least a redeeming
factor lies in that of Cypress
Hill with
Roni
Size.
Size
also morphs with Volume
10.
Gorillaz
& Redman,
Dub
Pistols
with Busta
Rhymes
& Silkk
The Shocker,
The
Crystal Method
with Bubba
Sparxxx.
An interesting creation, to say the least, but hardly carries the impact
of a Spawn soundtrack.
