“I Miss When Movies Were Paired With Hit Singles!”

[Loken]

watched Rush Hour the other night

 

[-DMP-]

Yall posted some good recent examples. Forgot about fast and furious, spider verse and black panther.

Judas and the black messiah had a good “inspired by” compilation album too

back then, even mid movies had classic soundtracks. now it's mostly huge/anticipated movies still getting soundtracks

Hollywood lazy now, they just put old hits that they own via all these artist catalogs they buying. I blame James Gunn for making that trend popular


Movie soundtracks where more accesible internationally speaking as someone that spent most they teen years in DR.

In the early 90's held me down.

I swear.... the late 90s/early 2000s were the greatest time to be alive
So fortunate I grew up in that era

The thing I miss the most about that era was the feeling everyone generally had that the future would be even better.

Now we all know things fall apart real fast

Austin Powers Goldmember had a crazy soundtrack.



Back when we had “urban” Britney.

And let’s not forget the other Neptunes produced banger on the soundtrack.


Beyonce was going to go down this route for her debut but the song flopped in America. She ended up going down the GoGo genre lane with Rich Harris.

Apparently, one of the first films to Integrate movie footage in a music video in 1983.



When I found out Jennifer Beals was using a body double, it was worse than finding out Santa wasn’t real. My whole life was a lie.



RIP Irene Cara.

I don’t think Eddie has ever had a poor soundtrack. They’re always top notch.

i dont. im glad that shyt is over

as a young kid i loved loved loved eddie murphy. i wanted to be him lol. and i waited FIVE YEARS for a nutty professor sequel. NP2 gets a lot of hate, some of which is deserved. janet jackson is a mediocre actress, and i didnt believe for a second that she loved Sherman. jada pinkett as ms purdy was actually almost believable. you can see how Sherman won her over... but the sequel rolls around and fat ass sherman klump is married to janet jackson? man get the hell outta here lol

anyway i bring up NP2 because of janet jacksons god awful single for it. something about that song just rubs me the wrong way. the timing of the groove is interesting but it just felt halfwritten. and i HATE when they do a key change at the end of a song (usually the chorus). from what ive read, janet literally took that song from a crumpled up piece of paper out of the trash and rewrote it for the movie lol.



as far as eddie goes, NP2 is one of his lesser sins really. it had a few funny moments

Never seen the film “Double Take” but only remember it because of this song.






Never saw Juwanna Mann either but remember it because of this song.

Never saw Juwanna Mann either but remember it because of this song.

you never saw juwanna mann????

its not a great flick or anything im just kinda surprised. but then again i guess that movie never had a second life on cable or anything. its kinda weird now but i remember them letting us watch this in my diversionary group home thing the law made me live in (i got busted with weed as a minor and had a bunch of juvy legal issues) lol.

we watched so many bad movies in that place. liar liar, head of state, juwanna mann, etc. back when people still regularly had VHS tapes somewhat.. 2003

im surprised that movie isnt more relevant today. with you know who in sports and all lol
