Weak album

"like most soundtracks this one is not good as well. (i always regret buying sountracks.) on this album, the beatz are too tacky, and high profile, mainstream rappers put out an weak performance(dmx, luniz, daz, tray d, mo thugs/lazy bone). a disappointment. a few underground acts tried to rip the tracks, but the tunes and beats just couldn't take it there. And vocal/rap arrangements were stupidly produced.(eg: corny choruses, hooks and intros etc.) the saving grace of the album is "Survive" by Snoop dogg and Da Products. probably the only solid cut on this soundtrack. and the highlights of this album was The Lox and Eve with the song"Shotgun Style", and the other "aiight/ok"joints are "Better way" and "Playa Style". out of 19 tracks, not even half the album is listenable. Overrall, to sum it up, a dissapointment and a very lacking album."

"I've never given an album a 1-star rating before--until now. If any album deserves it, it's this one. Like the reviewer below me said, you always regret buyin soundtracks, but if you buy this one, you'll regret the decision even more. What a waste.
The big names are there--Mo Thugs, Daz, Snoop Dogg, DMX, Eve, Luniz, Too $hort, Kool G Rap, etc. But these have to be some of the wackest tracks put out by all of them, with the exception of maybe Snoop. I'd say some of his "Tha Doggfather" & No Limit tracks have been wacker than "Survive," but not by much! "All My Family" features recycled lyrics and uninteresting flows by Mo Thugs & Layzie Bone. Same thing with "Ryde Or Die" by DMX, Luniz, & Drag-On. That's exactly what this soundtrack does, drag ON and ON. I could describe why every track is wack, but I won't bore you.
The few OK tracks (VERY FEW) would be the title track "Turf Stories," "Playa Style," & "Shotgun Style." Even those are borderline unlistenable. Bottom line, this is a complete waste of perfectly usable CDs and CD cases. If there was a musical definition of wack in the dictionary, a picture of this CD would be next to it. DON'T BUY! Unless, of course, you're into wasting money."
