The cover reminds me of Beverly Hills Cop...

 

Is this MC Solaar song the first time any Transformers content has had a non-English/Japanese song? Are there any other songs in different languages?

 

Well there was that guy that was a star from Hong Kong I think.He's in the movie when Lockdown's ship lifts his car up and he's seen vibing to his song.That's all I know off

 

nah there was a french intro for the g1 cartoon back then

 

whoah...

 

I prefer Solaar's song as the official credits song over Nas' one, but I'm biased since I speak French and because I prefer the older style of rap, if I had to pick one. I got excited for a minute and thought, 'I can't believe they're hiring French talent to make a credit song for Transformers.' I thought they were branching out and hiring international talent. At least the French audience will have a treat, just not me xD

But also on the note of rap sucking like dragon said (Don't know how to multiquote)
"don’t make whole soundtrack into rap crap"

I only tolerated one single song on the soundtrack. Everything is rap that doesn't sound good to me and that I'm unfamiliar. So the soundtrack is not going to be a highlight for me, which is disappointing.

 

Cool, I didn’t realize there were that many alt dubs for the G1 intro

 

MC Solaar! Man that brings memories! I remember when KRS One introduced him into the American Hip Hop scene. MC Solar also brought in Acid Jazz (which is what he rapped to) into the US. I remember chillin’ out to that in the historic 18th Street Lounge in DC on weekend nights. Good times. Good times.
