Though the soundtrack of music from (and, mostly, inspired by) Wild Wild West features just one track by the movie's star, Will Smith, the spirit of the Fresh Prince is all over this disc. Tracks by BLACKstreet, MC Lyte,... more » Tatyana Ali, and even Slick Rick give hip-hop and R&B elements an infectious pop sheen. Of course, except the Morricone-esque intro to Dr. Dre & Eminem's "Bad Guys Always Die" (one of the disc's better tunes), there's really nothing western about this album at all. Still, it's a far more catchy album than Smith's prior soundtrack, 1997's Men in Black . --Jason Verlinde« less

"Ha, ha, here we go again! Wild Wild West is a pretty good movie, so I decided to get this. I was at first, plainly dispointed. I had expected better. (I always do!) But I've got used to it now, and it really isn't so bad. "Wild Wild West", is a great song, probably Will Smith's best. "Bailamos" adds a different flavor to the whole thing, but after that it kinda fails."Confused" is a song I've learned to except, and just listen to it anyway; it's not that great, but not that bad. "Keep it Moving" is one of the better songs that I enjoy. "Getting Closer" has a great tune, but it's gets tiring after a while. "Bad Guys Always Die" is probably my second favorite on the CD, I just love Eminem and Dr. Dre. "Mailman" is overall depressing. The other two "exceptable" tunes are "8 minutes to Sunrise" and "Stick Up", even though it seems cut of. The whole thing IS wild."
Jeez - it's a pile of smelly trash

"Oh my god - what was I thinking? I bought the CD on the strength of "Baliamos" figuring that there would at least be another couple of good songs on it. As if! It's all ghetto tribe music for the homies which I have tried listening to and given up. Avoid at all costs!"
Bad Guys Always Die- THE BEST!

"It gets boring very easily. Even though I can't stop listening to Dr. Dre, and Eminem the other songs on it (especially Will Smith) I get tired of it quickly. It's too poppish not rap. But it does have some other good songs like from MC Lyte and Jermaine Dupri and my fav. The Bad Guys Always Die that songs got it going on!"
What's so "Wild Wild West" about it?

"Don't get me wrong, I liked this CD. But it was so anoying that none of this music was in the movie. They must of just wanted to make more money from this movie because of the lousy sales the movie was getting. This CD is just there. Nothing to do with the movie. The producers should be ashamed."
