Best Song of 2000: Heat #8

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Still D.R.E., Spinning Around and The Real Slim Shady led the pack in Heat #7, while Stronger and Stan fought off a last minute surge by The Bad Touch to join them in the 2000 final.

Last heat today! And there are some proper bangers below the cut...

[Poll #1423267]

You have until Friday lunchtime to vote, at which point I'll post a full list of the qualifiers for the 2000 final. HOWEVER we're not going to be voting on that straight away (to try and avoid tick-fatigue on the same songs). Instead, next week we're going to start nominations for 2001. There will be a slight change in nomination procedure (more details to follow) but there'll still be plenty of time to get your thinking caps on.

I loved the music that RZA wrote for the film and the way it worked in the film but was angry about what he did in creating a "soundtrack album," since in some cases this meant taking what had worked very well in the film as instrumentals and adding some Wu Tangers as vocalists to clumsy effect. He may have figured that the instrumentals didn't stand on their own apart from the movie. There was a Japanese version of the soundtrack LP that I'm told has more that's directly from the film. Here's a version of the theme that I found on YouTube that may be from the Japanese album.
