Watched Office Space on Netflix a few months back, full of top notch hip hop tunes!

Not a movie, but The Wire is also littered with them

Rhyme & Reason
Office Space
Bulworth
Trespass (rock & hip hop mash ups)
Tales From Da Hood
Soul In The Hole
Murder Was the Case
Ghost Dog
Man With The Iron Fists
High School High
The Show
Above The Rim
New Jersey Drive

There's something else I watched recently that had loads of excellent tracks, it'll come to me.

In too deep and cradle 2 to the grave have very decent hip hop soundtracks, worth a listen.

Will check them out boom bap cheers! seen a low budget film a few years ago starring tariq from the roots brooklyn babylon it was called not great but the soundtrack was unreal by the roots unfortunately they never released a sound track to it!

Trespass had a fairly decent soundtrack same with judgement night although it was metal/hip hop crossover it worked surprisingly well together and as far as I remember the film colors had a few hip hop tracks on it ice-ts "colors" being one of them.

One that I didn't expect but has a dope soundtrack is the Jonah Hill film The Sitter. It has Sugar Hill Gang, Pharcyde, Slick Rick, Ohmega Watts, Biz Markie and 2 Live Crew from what I can remember.

I think Jonah Hill is a hip hop fan and Meth has a small part in the movie.

Oh and La Haine has an absolutely amazing soundtrack of you don't mind a bit of French hip hop.

I actually liked that movie although it was riddled with cheese.

I think This Is The End also had a good few well known hip hop tracks on it as well.

There's a French film called "A Prophet" that has a Nas track slap bang in the middle. It comes from nowhere. I lost all concentration and spent 2/3 minutes trying to figure out was it Nas or was I imagining things.

Notorious - if not for the music, then for the ladies.

Very happy that they included this scene. They even got the clothes correct.

Yeah I like that kind of dumb movie, just switch off the brain. I like Jonah Hills stuff, enjoyed This Is The End and 21 Jump Street was class, Ice Cube was funny in it too (keeping the hip hop theme here)

This has to be the best hip hop track from a movie ever

Yes. Forgot about that. My favourite movie when I was younger.

The children I'm teaching didn't know who Michael Jordan was last week so I showed them a video of him on YouTube. I grew up when he was at the peak of his powers. Kinda forget that it was so long ago.

21 Jump Street was excellent

In regards to La Heine, great movie, but the bit in the towers where the DJ points the speakers out the windows and starts cutting up is not on the soundtrack
