Training Day: The Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 2001 crime film, Training Day. It was released on September 11, 2001, through Priority Records and contained mostly hip hop music. The album did fairly well on the Billboard charts, peaking at number 35 on the Billboard 200, number 19 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number 3 on the Top Soundtracks chart, and spawning two hit singles, "#1" by Nelly and "Put It on Me" by Dr. Dre, DJ Quik and Mimi.[1] The soundtrack was A&R'd by Chuck Wilson.[2] Coincidentally, the album was released exactly when the September 11 attacks took place.
Two songs not present in the album, but present in the movie and the trailer are, respectively, "Still D.R.E." by Dr. Dre (featuring Snoop Dogg), and "(Rap) Superstar" by Cypress Hill. "The Squeeze" was originally released as a 12" single, but was quickly pulled of shelves because of sample clearance issue. The single also has a special back cover, which says in big white letters, "In Stores September 11, 2001".
