For what this cd is worth its good value for money, some little gems on this disc. Sometimes you buy soundtracks to find little known tracks that will never be released you can nod along to, Blue Streak has quite a few of these and i was well pleased with this purchase. Only seen the film once but rate the soundtrack higher
Girls Best Friend - Jay Z. A simple layed beat by Swizz Beats opens up the album with Jay Z hitting all the right notes, kind of. Single released with video, not his best but not a bad track Criminal Mind - Tyrese & Heavy D. Good track, catchy chorus. A good up tempo follow up to the Jay Z track Damn - So Plush & Ja Rule. Tune. Great track. Production by Darkchild hits the right spots, Ja Rule early raps leads you up the garden path and into a chorus filled with simple lyrics and sweet voices. Theres something Aaliyah like with hard beats and a sweet voice. Excellent track While You Were Gone - Kelly Price. Keeps the pace of this album moving with this track, great voice, not her best track though I Put You On - Keith Sweat & Da Brat. Another good Darkchild production and Keith Sweat always delivers. Im not a fan of Da Brat anyway and i dont think she needs to be on this track Blue Diamond - Raekwon. First poor track we come across on this album, some good piano playing in the background but the chrous is poor Get Away - TQ & Krayzie Bone. Another good track, produced by Jermaine Dupri. He has a sound that you immediately know and if it aint broke dont fix it, so he lined up TQ to deliver on this and again catchy verses and chorus plus a rapper that deserves to be on this and adds to the track Rock Ice - Hot Boys. A tune for the car, simple beats produced by Mannie Fresh, you know the lyrics are gonnna be ok with this lot Na Na Be Like - Foxy Brown. Not great, she does nothing to keep an audience Gimme My Money - Rehab. Suprisingly good, catchy and a summer type tune. A real head bopper Da Freak - Da Shortiez & 69 Boyz. Miami Bass all the way with this one. 69 Boyz are masters of it. Not bad but youve heard all these types of tunes before Please Dont Forget About Me - Ruff Endz. A Nokio (Dru Hill) production and a good track, these guys have a good habit of putting a good 'im sorry' song together All Eyes on Me - Strings & Keith Sweat. Not really good enough this one, bit reptitive, the Keith Sweat contribution is minimal Playboy Like Me - Playa. Good smooth track to finish off. Produced by the now deceased Static you can tell him and Timbaland go way back. Enjoyable.
