Song choice was pretty sick in and of itself, but somebody definitely gave some serious thought to not just the songs but the meaning they had for each scene.
Nas kicks off the movie with The World Is Yours, an ironic anthem for a shy teen whose extant ventures take him to exotic places such as Queens and Brooklyn but no further. Raekwon’s Heaven and Hell sets the tone for the party, where Lucas finds (heaven) and loses (hell) the girl of his dreams.
In another funny twist, Method Man – the actor – talks about Biggie, while listening to “The What,” a song that Method Man – the rapper – recorded with Biggie in the early 90s. But it doesn’t stop there. A walk through the park features a sample of Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side, from Tribe’s “Can I Kick It.” Brilliant shit.
