Search - Various Artists :: American Gangsters

Not to be confused with Jay-Z`s 2007 album of the same name, the AMERICAN GANGSTER soundtrack presents an eclectic array of songs from Ridley Scott`s thrilling crime film, which stars Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. (The movie did inspire Jigga`s record, however.) Highlights of the compilation include Anthony Hamilton`s simmering soul tune `Do You Feel Me,` which conjures up a vintage Motown vibe, and Public Enemy`s hard-hitting `Can`t Truss It,` as well as new tracks by PE`s sonic architect, Hank Shocklee (see the funky `Club Jam`). The epitome of what a pop/R&B/rap-oriented soundtrack should be, GANGSTER perfectly complements the film, and stands on its own as an excellent mix.
