Thanks for the reminders about Ghost Dog. Yeah, love that one. Also Coffee and Cigarettes features RZA and GZA. Jim Jarmusch is a bad man.

Wow, what a cool topic.

I don”t have much to add. Just to point out to Mizzo that the pianist on that Coltrane cut was Duke Ellington and I think that Superfly was tr greatest soundtrack ever.

Damn when I think of soundtracks Superfly and Menace II Society come to mind.

Lick ‘Dem Mutha#hu@as by Brand Nubian is a classic of that piece. Sadat X catches wreck on his verse.

Purple Rain, Do The Right Thing, Mo Better Blues, Crooklyn, Ray, Ghost Dog w/the RZA is a slept on soundtrack.

The Eagles are officially done this year. How the hell does Ed Reed go like 108 yards without anyone tackling him??? Just SAD!

Sports talk radio here in Philly will be off the hook this week. The question now is, where is Donovan going to be traded? Or if he’s released, where is he going to go?

Also, if you would allow me to expand yalls horizons a little, consider The Harder They Come, a reggae soundtrack featuring Jimmy Cliff; and Sarafina!, yeah the joint with Whoopi Goldberg, but forget about her. Cat named Mbongeni Ngema with an assist from Hugh Masekela – both highly regarded musicians in South Africa – produced the tracks. Great sounding freedom music.

Mabel King!!! Yesssir, thanks Eric.

TC, if you like RZA soundtracks, try Ghost Dog, an indie flick starring Forrest Whitaker. It may have been his first soundtrack, and it’s full of that classic Wu sound.

And yeah Harvey, I had Black Caesar, too, but Eric already mentioned it ahead of both of us.

truly a classic album, don’t act like you wasn’t riding to it back in the day, it was the shit!

If you’ve never listened to the soundtrack to “Roots” (produced by Quincy Jones) please do…and yes, you’ll cry. The last song on there makes me cry every single time I hear it – Many Rains Ago.

Love all the ones listed here so far and the ones I want to mention are ‘Above The Rim’, ‘Boyz N Da Hood’, and ‘Black Caesar’ (because you can never have too much James Brown),

Thanks Michelle for the great compliment and last poet the lady with those powerful pipes singing “I don’t wanna hear no bad news” is Mabel King of “What’s Happening” and TC you can’t go wrong with the RZA on those Tarratino “Kill Bill” scores. He also did ” Ghost Dog” soundtrack and the Grindhouse movies. But there is one Soundtrack I forgot to mention and that’s the “Cotton Club” soundtrack where Lonette Mc Kee and the Himes Brothers sing some of the songs.
