Django Unchained (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

The Django Unchained soundtrack feature new tracks from Rick Ross with the film’s star, Jamie Foxx, as well as Anthony Hamilton, John Legend, and legendary composer Ennio Morricone, plus a mashup of 2Pac and James Brown. Tarantino himself collaborated with musicians on several of the tracks, as well as the film’s score.

According to a press release, Tarantino praised everybody on the soundtrack and thank them.

“I want to thank all the artists who contributed original songs (a first for me) to the picture. Most of these contributions came out of the artists’ own inspiration and their illustration of the film’s soul is invaluable. In addition to the new original songs I am also using a lot of older recordings on the soundtrack—many of which came from my personal vinyl collection. Instead of having the record companies give me new digitally cleaned up versions of these recordings from the 60′s and 70′s, I wanted to use the vinyl I’ve been listening to for years— complete with all the pops and cracks. I even kept the sound of the needle being put down on the record. Basically because I wanted people’s experience to be the same as mine when they hear this soundtrack for the first time.”
