The rap-rock-electronic collaboration has become a mainstay of the industry. Yet as cool as it is to hook up artists from disparate genres, sometimes these fusions look better on paper than they actually sound. Not so this project, which finds A-list rappers (Busta Rhymes, Bubba Sparxx, Rah-Digga, et al.) joining forces with topnotch electronica heavyweights like Crystal Method and Roni Size. There's much to dig here, but there are a few glaring missteps. Witness "Cowboy," in which the flamboyance of Fat Boy Slim's rubbery funk only underscores Eve's lyrical weaknesses. Also iffy is "Getting Aggressive," which reduces Mystikal to background noise underneath Moby's intrusive onslaught of rhythm. Better balance is found on Mos Def and Massive Attack's intense cover of Bad Brains' "I Against I"; a ghetto-fab but gritty partnership between Jadakiss, Fabolous, and Danny Saber; and Gorillaz and Redman's giddy "Gorillaz on My Mind." Credit everyone involved for delivering a soundtrack album that is much more than tie-in product. <I>--Amy Linden</I>

4 out of 5 stars The only problem with an album like this..........2006-07-06

...is that if the techno beat don't compliment the lyrical flow it's a complete disaster. Now this is the case on a few of these tracks, but I will say that for the most part this album is a success. The key track here would have to be Ice Cube & Oakenfold's 'Right Here, Right Now' which is the finest track on the album, flowing perfectly. Other standouts include the Mos Def & Massive Attack fused 'I Against I' and 'PHDream' by Bubba Sparxxx & The Crystal Method. The few tracks I spoke of that fall flat are Eve & Fatboy Slim's version of 'Cowboy' which is much worse than Eve's album version, and even that version is mediocre at best...and there's Redman & Gorillaz song 'Gorillaz on my Mind' which is just plain annoying. For the most part this album fits, but there are a few reasons to change tracks. I will say that at least the album stands out better than the lackluster film did.

The club scene song is actually Voodoo and Serano's Blood is Pumpin'. You may be right about the fight scene, but that is the name of the song for the club scene. They have their own disk which is really good, I own it:) And you can find Blood is Pumpin' on a number of compulations as well. I hope this is helpful to anyone that likes that song as much as I do although I knew about the song before it was in Blade 2.

2 out of 5 stars The missing track.......2005-01-29

Like other reviewers I liked a lot of the music from the film. but having listened to samples of the album I couldn't find that one stunning track that was used in the film (night club or fight scene ?). So I didn't buy it :(

Have since found the track though, it's called Clubbed to Death by Rob Duggan - Fantastic. :)

2 out of 5 stars I own it, but not a huge fan.......2004-12-22

Like most, i was looking for the more electronic side, and most the music on the album has nothing to do with the movie. Everyone wants to know the song from the club scene, but im curious as to what the song from the big fight scene is? any help?
