Amazon.com Ice Cube's "Down for Whatever" is the highlight on Office Space's soundtrack, a classy West Coast production with just the right proportions of laid-back groove and simmering tension. Scarface turns in a credible enough track ("No Tears"), and the Geto Boys' impersonation of Bill Clinton at the end of "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta" is funny, though not terribly accurate. But Canibus and Biz Markie's attempt to rework David Allan Coe's "Take This Job and Shove It" into a hip-hop novelty hit falls flat, as does a similar effort by Lisa Stone at revitalizing "9 to 5." Two ancient Perez Prado mambos tacked on at the end of the album throw its already shaky continuity even further off course, but they're such great tunes that only a fool would bemoan their presence. --Charley Gothic

Some of the songs on this soundtrack, such as Damn, It Feels Good To Be a Gangsta and No Tears are catchy, but the thing that really makes the album a winner is the movie. Everytime I hear one of the tracks on the album, I think of the scene in the movie where that song was played, and that's what makes this album good. If the songs didn't remind me of the movie, I doubt I'd like it much at all. I recommend buying this album, but only if you've seen the movie.
People buy movie soundtracks for one of two reasons: the liked the movie, or they liked a song or two they heard in the said movie they liked. This is a rare gem, for me, in that it was a movie that I absolutely loved but as I detest rap music I bought it anyway just to experience the movie again.
There is something very funny about a couple of white boys from the suburbs listening to rap / hip hop / gangsta rap and they don't have the slightest clue what life in the hood is like. I have no idea what it's like! I'm a white girl from the suburbs and I have no idea! But as they were a bunch of happy, bumbling fools whose only violent act was beating senseless a fax machine, there was something so funny about them listening to the Ghetto Boys and Ice Cube. Damn, it does feel good to be a gangsta...
We all know how amazing this movie is, but the soundtrack can hold its own weight. Now if you have seen this movie, as I assume you have if you are reading this, you'll know that most of this soundtrack is rap music. Not just rap music, but most of it is gangsta rap. So, you'll need to appreciate that style of music to purchase this CD. There are 5 great rap songs on this CD from Ice Cube, Slum Village, Scarface, and The Geto Boys with 2.
If you love the songs with Michael Bolton rapping in his car, Peter Gibbons loading the virus disk onto the computer, the three of the guys destroying the printer, or when Peter takes over Initech then get this soundtrack. I warn you that there are fillers on this CD that should not be on this CD, but that comes with the territory of soundtracks.
Please do not purchase this CD if you only like the Perez Prado songs. These are the songs played during the traffic jam and when Milton is on the beach. Just go to itunes and spend the $2 necessary to own these songs.
All in all, you need to like rap in order to buy this CD or you're wasting your money. Watch the movie again and if you know you love the songs they play throughout the movie then buy the CD, it's the same music.
I'm not a big rap fan but, I really like this soundtrack. I loved the movie and the tunes were impressive. However, not for the young, due to language. But, the music is great. I keep it in my car all the time.
please does anyone know the song damn it feels good to be a gangsta sampled? i took a look in the booklet but it doesn't list the name of the song but features stevie wonder and marvin gaye's names. please if anyone knows the song or songs it samples it would be greatly appreciated
This is one of the rare albums I'll buy for just a single song. The song that makes this album worth it is Perez Prado's Mambo #8. I could care less about the rest of the songs.
