Sure, with a streaming service such as Spotify, many people have created publicly shared playlists meant to stand in as a soundtrack or whatnot. But, more often than not, the playlist is modified from the original mix. Additional tracks that were in the movie but not on the original album... different versions of the track... songs "inspired" by the movie... songs not included because of licensing... stuff like that. It can be annoying if you have a fond memory of the album and want that specific tracklist. 

I recently found an incredibly unique album on cassette that not only doesn't exist on Spotify, but there is also no fan-curated playlist rendition of it.

That album is Pump Ya Fist: Hip-Hop Inspired by The Black Panthers.

I found this while searching for a cassette copy of the soundtrack for the movie Black Panther (believe it or not, this actually exists, but is incredibly rare). Here is the tracklist for Pump Ya Fist:

Side 1:

1. KRS-One - "Ah Yeah"
2. Kam - "Pump Ya Fist"
3. Grand Puba - "Black Family Day"
4. Rakim - "Shades of Black" (of Eric B. and Rakim)
5. Jeru the Damaja - "The Frustrated Ni**a" (sorry, I know the word is in the title; I'm still not comfortable using it)
6. Tupac Shakur - "Throw Your Hands Up"
7. Speech - "Positive Vibe" (of Arrested Development)

Side 2:

1. Fugees (Tranzlator Crew) - "Recognition"
2. Chuck D - "It's the Pride" (of Public Enemy)
3. Ahmad - "Only if You Want It"
4. Yo Yo - "Crazay"
5. Dred Scott - "I Gotta Get Mine"
6. 5ive-O - "Out for Just Us"

Of those 13 tracks, the only ones I could find in Spotify are "Ah Yeah” and "The Frustrated Ni**a.” Not only did I get a unique mix of tracks, but I scored a collection of which only TWO SONGS are available on Spotify, the service I feel to have the most comprehensive music collection on the web. 

Damn.

That's pretty sweet.

Oh, and the album sounds really good, if a little muffled. This is a very well-maintained cassette given it's 25 years old.

I will admit, though, that the track attributed to Chuck D ("It's the Pride") sounds absolutely nothing like the Chuck D I've known since I was 12 years old. Something off about it. But users on YouTube imply that it is, in fact, him. Weird.

It would appear that a lot of this collection is up on YouTube. Enjoy!

Still cooler on cassette.
