solid compilation but wait for 8 CD box set

Strengths: good mix of varying types of music. Intro DVD

Weakness: A couple of out of place musical selection. Unbalanced CD's. Could have used better available selections from the game. Wait to get the 8 DVD box set.

This 2 CD/1 DVD set has a lot going for it. If you've played the game and/or like the era of mostly 90's music, then this is a solid buy for you. This features much of the music popular at the time, including hard-hitting rap (2Pac, Cypress Hill) and rock acts (Rage Against the Machine, Faith No More). But the soundtrack also ranges across the dial to include reggae and funk classics like Rick James "Cold Blooded" and James Brown's "The Payback," '70s rock, such as Eddie Money "Two Tickets to Paradise"; old-school hip-hop (Eric B. & Rakim's "I Know You Got Soul" and "Children's Story" - Slick Rick--a highlight). There were a few out of place numbers which include Ohio Players "Funky Worm" and Willie Nelson's "Crazy". But they don't devalue the overall package. I am most likely going to get the 8 cd box set which has a lot more solid tracks on it. This also includes a DVD that provides an introduction to the game.

1. Theme From San Andreas - Michael Hunter
2. Killing In The Name - Rage Against The Machine
3. I Don't Give A F*ck - 2Pac
4. Payback, The - James Brown

11. Cold Blooded - Rick James
12. Break 4 Love - Raze

DISC 2:
1. Funky Worm - Ohio Players
2. Barracuda - Heart
3. Hood Took Me Under - Compton's Most Wanted
4. Think About It - Lyn Collins
5. Rebel Without A Pause - Public Enemy
6. Midlife Crisis - Faith No More
7. Poison - Bell Biv DeVoe
