Exit Wounds: The Album featured the debut of a rapper whose first album was titled what?
Exit Wounds (soundtrack) Exit Wounds: The Album is the soundtrack to the 2001 film, "Exit Wounds". It was released on March 20, 2001, four days after the film, through Virgin Records. The album made it high on the Billboard charts, peaking at #8 on the "Billboard" 200 and #5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and featured one charting single, "No Sunshine", which made it to #67 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and was performed by the films star, DMX. Rapper Yung Berg, then known as Iceberg, made his debut on this soundtrack on the track "Dog 4 Life". "No Sunshine" is used as the entrance music of former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, and samples and interpolates "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers.
Hurt Me Soul "Hurt Me Soul" is a song written by rapper Lupe Fiasco. The Needlz-produced track was released in September 2006 on his debut album "Food & Liquor". Before the opening verse, you can hear Lupe say "Astaghfirullah".In the opening verse, Lupe first acknowledges his own hypocritical tendencies during his younger years, and even more so the over-bearing presence of hypocrisy in the modern rap scene. Afterward, he makes reference to the fact that contemporary rap music is being flooded with the glorification or subliminal promotion of misogyny, drug-dealing, materialism and violence. However, this kind of rap music can be metaphorically viewed as the world in general, for these vices still continue to exist universally, even in societies where rap is absent. Despite his evidently strong opposition for such distasteful music, Lupe contradicts himself by questioning whether or not hip-hop should be criticized for such things. In doing so, he explains how rap legends such as 2Pac, Nas, Too Short, and Jay-Z (who are frequent sources for such glorification) rap about these subjects as they are in reality "coming true", despite the vulgarity of it all.
