Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture 'The Wood' (1999)

Take the ''inspired by'' in this collection's title literally, as only half of the songs here showed up in The Wood. Still, there are enough bass-booming burners from the likes of the Roots and DMX to start a forest fire; unfortunately, the ragged mix of hardcore rap, middle-of-the-road R&B, and old-school hip-hop frequently comes off as sonically schizophrenic.
