The 6 Best Space Jam Moments Ahead Of A New Legacy

BONUS: The Whole Space Jam Soundtrack

In addition to these timeless moments from the original Space Jam, the one thing that really keeps me coming back is the soundtrack, which I, honestly, think is much better than a movie about cartoon characters competing in a basketball game deserved to be. The six-times platinum album enlists the biggest and best names in R&B and hip-hop at the time, including Seal with his cover of Steve Miller’s “Fly Like an Eagle,” a crossover that includes LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes for The Monstars’ anthem “Hit ‘Em High,” and, of course, the title track by Quad City DJs that never fails to hype up a crowd. Before the Marvel movies made it cool, I would always be sure to sit through Space Jam’s end credits just to hear the medley of tracks both from and inspired by the film.
