Taxi 2 soundtrack


I'm a fan of Luc Besson's Taxi series. (Well, the first two, at least...) They were an excellent precursor to our own Fast & Furious franchise (which the next one, Furious 7, is going to be the Hollywood debut of Ong-Bak's Tony Jaa, so I'm quite excited), and I wish they were released on video in English-friendly editions here.

Because of a shockingly short supply of good English-friendly releases and imports (only the first movie has a Blu from France that is both region free and English-subbed), my ability to view them with subtitles is limited, but CDs don't need no region coding, so here's the soundtrack to Taxi 2!

I have the soundtrack to the first film as well, but only as a download, and I haven't gotten to buying it on CD yet.
Taxi 2's soundtrack was done by One Shot, a French hip-hop supergroup formed for the sole purpose of doing this film's music. It consisted of rappers Faf Larage, Taïro, (Daddy) Nuttea, Disiz La Peste, and Vasquez Lusi, along with R&B singer Jalane. The soundtrack also features a few tracks with production work from IAM member Akhenaton. If you like the movie, like French hip-hop, or just like hip-hop in general, this is a soundtrack worth picking up.
