The Vine, an Australian online magazine, has put Spirit, from Ghostbusters 2, as their ninth best soundtrack rap. And yes it is an excellent one. It’s like, proto-Horrorcore and if it were my vote, I’d put Doug E Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew higher than ninth. But I can’t complain too much, as they also put Bobby Brown’s On Our Own at number one – both of them far more satisfying raps than the theme-constrained track by Run DMC.
In an age where the soundtrack is out of print, but torrenting abounds, I’m curious how many younger fans have heard the track in their entirety, not just the bits included in the film. Well, there’s YouTube, so I guess it’s a non-issue.
Now that I look at it, that’s kind of a crap list, except for their wise inclusion of Ghostbusters 2… twice.
Like, where’s Colours? Nowhere! Booooooo!






I still sing that Bobby Brown song around the house to this day LoL
Maybe it’s just me, because I grew up listening to most of the stuff, but I think the entire list…
10. LL Cool J – Deepest Bluest (Deep Blue Sea)
9. Doug E Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew – Spirit (Ghostbusters II)
8. Will Smith – Wild Wild West (Wild Wild West)
7. Vanilla Ice – Ninja Rap (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret Of The Ooze)
6. Partners In Kryme – Turtle Power (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
5. George Clinton & The Goombas – Walk The Dinosaur (Super Mario Bros.)
4. Ellen Albertini Dow – Rapper’s Delight (The Wedding Singer)
3. Ashford & Simpson – Down To Earth (Mac & Me)
2. Hammer – Addams Groove (The Addams Family)
1. Bobby Brown – On Our Own (Ghostbusters II)
…would make for a killer compilation album.
