after the popularity drop in folk themed songs that seemed to end in the mid 90's, warner brothers thought that they should turn right around and make a soundtrack more hip hop influenced, there choice led to one of the many reasons batman forever was such a huge success, the best song this soundtrack had to offer was U2's wonderful performance, as well as smash it up which was obviously a take off chris o donnell's reckless nature, many people say seal offers the best performance, however i disagree, still seal's music is still worth checking out, all in all this was an well executed slideshow of assortments.
