[Complexion]

This was such a dope time because they'd use these overpriced discs to break new artists, collaborations, features, non album cuts and people keeping their name out there between projects. First time I heard Toni Braxton:



Case debut:



ATR, M2S and the rest of course but you had obscure gems like:

Most underrated soundtrack joint

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I remember my sister had converted to CDs way before I did. I still had a cassette deck in my 84 Cutlass. She'd buy damn near every hip hop and r&b release that came out, especially the soundtracks

The decline in Black movie soundtracks is like the decline in malls in this country.

Being a kid and going to Sam Goody, Walmart, and Bazaars to find these soundtracks was such a great moment in time.

you could make an insane 4.5 mic album of Wu's non-album/OST catalog. this is the crown jewel

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Dope times. I remember that New Jersey Drive soundtrack was a classic. shyt was a double album and had everybody from Redman to Outkast on it

 

[Amo Husserl]

I think this trend spelled the demise of hip-hop.

 

[Sister Mary Clarence]

Above The Rim Soundtrack

I still listen to “Old Times Sake” regularly

Juice

I'm sure I first heard this on a soundtrack:



Wiki doesn't say anything but Davinas debut but I'm quite certain it was used in a flick as I remember importing it for this joint.
