As the first hip-hop motion picture, it was imperative that Wild Style have a heavy-hitting soundtrack. With songs from the Cold Crush Brothers and mixes by DJ Grand Wizard Theodore, among others, the film and the soundtrack boasted a cult following upon its release. Since then, it's been sampled by the most notable artists today, including A Tribe Called Quest and the Beastie Boys.

Um, best song "Uptown Anthem"???? FOH. "Know The Ledge" might be the best rap song EVER, let alone on this kinda shitty soundtrack.

the only wes anderson movie this ist features is rushmore, and that's at 32? FOH. Tenenbaums is in the top 10. Seu Jorge's Bowie covers for life aquatic deserve a spot as well. His soundtrancks are like art (kudos, music supervisor randal poster).

More Than A Game? Drake, Kanye, Lil Wayne, Eminem-Forever? That alone makes it a great soundtrack, but it also has Drop It Low.
