Ice Cube's "Down for Whatever" is the highlight on Office Space's soundtrack, a classy West Coast production with just the right proportions of laid-back groove and simmering tension. Scarface turns in a credible enough track ("No Tears"), and the Geto Boys' impersonation of Bill Clinton at the end of "Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta" is funny, though not terribly accurate. But Canibus and Biz Markie's attempt to rework David Allan Coe's "Take This Job and Shove It" into a hip-hop novelty hit falls flat, as does a similar effort by Lisa Stone at revitalizing "9 to 5." Two ancient Perez Prado mambos tacked on at the end of the album throw its already shaky continuity even further off course, but they're such great tunes that only a fool would bemoan their presence. --Charley Gothic

 The real magic is in the movie April 5, 2000

Some of the songs on this soundtrack, such as Damn, It Feels Good To Be a Gangsta and No Tears are catchy, but the thing that really makes the album a winner is the movie. Everytime I hear one of the tracks on the album, I think of the scene in the movie where that song was played, and that's what makes this album good. If the songs didn't remind me of the movie, I doubt I'd like it much at all. I recommend buying this album, but only if you've seen the movie.
 Damn it feels good to be a gangsta January 12, 2006

People buy movie soundtracks for one of two reasons: the liked the movie, or they liked a song or two they heard in the said movie they liked. This is a rare gem, for me, in that it was a movie that I absolutely loved but as I detest rap music I bought it anyway just to experience the movie again.
There is something very funny about a couple of white boys from the suburbs listening to rap / hip hop / gangsta rap and they don't have the slightest clue what life in the hood is like. I have no idea what it's like! I'm a white girl from the suburbs and I have no idea! But as they were a bunch of happy, bumbling fools whose only violent act was beating senseless a fax machine, there was something so funny about them listening to the Ghetto Boys and Ice Cube. Damn, it does feel good to be a gangsta...
Take this Job and SHOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! November 26, 2003

i dont really buy soundtracks that much, but since Office Space is my all time favorite movie I couldn't resist.. This is without question the best soundtrack ever- yes, it is rap,, but it's all GOOD rap- it's all early 90s stuff like The Ghetto Boys and NWA, REAL rap, none of this Jay Z/Ja Rule crap.Now i can play the fun songs of the movie whenever I want- when I'm stuck in traffic, "I Got this Killer Up Inside of Me", when I get angry at my printer, "Die Motherf--kers Die!", when I feel like not caring, "Damn It Feels Good to Be A Gangster", and of course, nothing beats the classic "Take This Job and Shove It! (I ain't workin here no more)" BEST soundtrack ever to the BEST movie ever- If you could just go ahead,, and buy this soundtrack along with the movie,, that would be greeeeaaat, mmm kay?
 Spiced up the movie! January 16, 2004

When I was about to watch Office Space, I was estimating that the movies music would just be a score. Man, was I wrong. The music first enters at the beginning of the movie, which as the movie went on, became more and more like the movie. What was the genre? Rap. Hip Hop. Yep. A movie about office nerds, you would expect something different. Well well, aint it a surprize? The music is great, especialy "Damn it feels good to be a Gangsta" which is a song that me and my friend Garret listen to, and love it.My Advice to you: SEE THE MOVIE FIRST. The soundtrack means nothing to you if you didnt see the film. Office Space is a laugh out loud comedy that popular person and nerd can enjoy. Any type of person will accept the movie and music which are both outstanding.
The Mambo King dominates this soundtrack! February 22, 2000
12 out of 18 found this review helpful
I love this movie and soundtrack. If your a fan of hip hop this cd is for you. But the track that really sticks out is Mambo #8 by the Mambo King: Perez Prado. It's the intro song to the movie and in my opinion sets the mood for the movie. You knew that this movie would be funny as hell right from the start. I highly recommend this cd.
