You don't have to be a hustler to love the soundtrack to Alpha Dog. You don't
have to be a sucker for a wistful yet deeply ironic
rendition of "Over the Rainbow," either. You don't even have to know the
difference between speed metal and speed rap, though
you'll find bits of those on here, too. What you do need is an ear for a
skillful assemblage of non-hits and a willingness to
insert yourself into the previous decade. Then, the loving comes easy: With the
exception of Citizen Cope's "Bullet and a Target," a
hand-clappy but street-wise hip-hop/pop hybrid that's as distinctly modern as it
is infectious, and Eva Cassidy's "Rainbow," Alpha Dog
culls a generous selection of 90s-inspired rap, Latin-tinged R&B and pop. Where
it scores highest is originality--producer Aaron
Zigman and director Nick Cassavetes could have leaned on Coolio or early Snoop
to put their retro-ghetto point across, but they
tapped talented newcomers like Mic Holden, a Snoop soundalike, and the rising
Midwest rapper Tech N9ne instead. In less capable
hands, meaningless bark (consider grunge, another 90s export) might have been
the result. Track for track, though, what the
soundtrack to Alpha Dog produces is genuine bite.
