Which Soundtrack was better (Above the Rim vs. Sunset Park)

[LauderdaleBoss]

Sup brehs and brehettes. We had a live stream last night discussing this very topic which is fitting since today is the anniversary for the Above the Rim Soundtrack.





We go song for song on each album during the podcast if you wanna hear our thoughts on each song.
Much appreciated to anybody that takes the time to vote, listen, or drop a comment or feedback.

Sunset Park by the narrowest of margins

 

[African Peasant]

This is a hard one!

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

If you listen to both and go song for song, you'll notice the dip in quality in Above the Rim. during the middle portion.
You can remove like 3-4 songs off and that shyt becomes perfect.

Sunset Park's lows were never as low as Above the Rim's lows.

Sunset Park by split decision.

The fact that they had a west coast soundtrack for an east coast movie was so genius

imma have to tally up the songs, sunset park has a higher hit percentage than ATR since it was only 14 songs, of the 14, I fukk with 10.

But ATR has some highs that cannot be fukked with - pain, afro puffs, anything, pour out a little liquor, regulate, big pimpin, old times sake (I loved sweet sable and her debut album)

I’m giving the edge to ATR, as 8 classics > 10 songs I like

I like Above The Rim more but that Sunset Park is no slouch at all

 

[NormanConnors]

Sunset Park, too much filler on above the rim, both have classic tracks though
