Top Three Movie Soundtracks (Rap)

The other day I found my old copy of the Rush Hour soundtrack. I popped it in today on my way home from work and instantly remembered why I had kept it for so long. As far as soundtracks go, this one is loaded. It got me thinking about other movie soundtracks that are chock-full of bangers. Here are my top three rap/hip-hop movie soundtracks:
1. Belly
This is one of my all-time favorite gangsta movies (not to be confused with a "gangster" movie like The Godfather. (Quick sidebar: I have a strange appreciation for "black" movies and television. You know how Netflix will try to suggest movies that you might like based on the movies you have previously viewed? Well, they group these movies into genres like 'romantic comedies', 'buddy-cop movies', 'goofy cult classics'. One of the categories of movies that Netflix most often suggests for me is a sub-genre called 'Gritty African-American Crime Dramas'. What this says about me I do not know. Anyways...) For anyone that doesn't know, Belly is a movie by Hype Williams about two outlaws, played by Nas and DMX. The movie also features Method Man, T-Boz and that thick-ass chick from Bronx Tale. The soundtrack was released by Def Jam and features mainly east-coast rappers. Here are some of the highlights:
An awesome collabo featuring Nas, DMX, Method Man and Ja Rule called Grand Finale. Nas' verse in this song is particularly potent.
An uncharacteristically gritty, but catchy slow jam from D'Angelo called Devil's Pie.
A characteristically zany song by Wu-Tang with verses from RZA (who also provided the distinctive beat) and Ghostface, and a wild, screaming O.D.B. on the chorus called Windpipe.
Crew Love, a vintage Roc-a-fella jam with Jay-Z (don't you wish he still sounded like this?), Beanie Seigel and Memphis Bleak.
A song called "Tommy's Theme" with the LOX and some clowns called Made Men. Styles, Jada and Sheek (yes, in that particular order) kill it like always, but Made Men are awful and I always skip to the next song when their verse starts.
A Gangstarr classic in Militia, remixed. (DJ Premier is far and away superior to any faggy producer making beats today.)
There are a bunch of other decent tracks from the likes of Mya, NORE (when he was still called Noreaga), Raekwon, and Ja Rule.

2. Friday
Again, one of my favorite movies of all time. The soundtrack is a little more eclectic than Belly's. Mainly, though, it is west-coast gangster shit with a sprinkling of funk, and classic R&B. Many of these songs are so iconic and perfectly chosen that anytime I hear them on the radio or something an image of corresponding scene instantly appears in my mind:
Tryin' to See Another Day - Isley Brothers: Opening scene, camera pans over the faces of the Jones' as they sleep in their respective beds. My favorite part is the fact that Craig's sister sleeps with her head propped up on her elbow to keep here hair style intact.
Keep Their Heads Ringin'- Dr. Dre: Craig and Smokey pull up to the bodega in Smokey's hooptie(his license plate is FCK IT or something like that).
Mary Jane- Rick James: Just thinking about this song and this scene in the movie makes me smile. Best pot smoking montage ever.
Hoochie Mama - 2 Live Crew: Plays pretty much anytime Craig's girlfriend appears. (Also, plays in my mind about 34.7% of the time when I see my girl's car pull up.)
Some other of the other jams on the soundtrack are from Cypress Hill, Mack 10, Bootsie Collins, Tha Alkaholiks, and Scarface.

3. Rush Hour Soundtrack
Unlike the previous two soundtracks, for the most part the songs on the Rush Hour CD do not correspond with particular scenes in the movie. Or at least I don't think they do. Also, this CD is a little more mainstream and "poppy" than the others. Like the Belly soundtrack, this album was put together by Def Jam. Highlights include:
A bunch of audio snippets of Chris Tucker. (Weird coincidence that CT is stars in 2 of the three movies on the list.) You know, stuff like "Don't Ever Touch a Black Man's Radio" and "Cigaweed".
Dru Hill - How Deep is Your Love: This song reminds you that at one point in the not too distant past Dru Hill and Sisqo were actually making hits and were not always just the butt of jokes. This song is made even better by a Redman verse.
Ja Rule - Bitch Better Have My Money: File this under the "forgot they were ever good category" as well. Before Ashanti, Ja Rule actually had a few bangers. He was also pretty awesome as a member of The Murderers. Not the most creative group name ever.
Wu-Tang Clan - And You Don't Stop: Classic O.D.B, standard RZA beat, excellent chorus (which is surprising because Wu-Tang, particularly after 36 Chambers, did a large percentage of their songs sans-chorus).
Honorable Mentions for other good contributors: Slick Rick - Impress The Kid, Montell Jordan - If I Die Tonight, Terror Squad - Terror Squadians, Too $hort - Tell The Feds,and Jay-Z - Can I Get A.
