Credits

Lead Performances: Big Punisher, KRS-One, Q-Tip and Various Artists; Genre: Soundtracks/Cast Recordings

By Matt Diehl

Considering the name, this rap soundtrack doesn't slam enough, despite tracks by B-boy big Willies like KRS-One and genre-bending contributions from such electronica mavens as DJ Spooky and Esthero. Only Big Punisher's stealthy ''Sex Money & Drugs,'' Q-Tip's bouncy ''Hey,'' and especially Puff disciple Black Rob's naggingly infectious uptown anthem ''I Dare You'' dunk on both poetics and pumping beats.
