Advantages: Some good love songs Disadvantages: Poor rap tracks
...I Have seen the majority of this film and was one of Jada Pinketts lesser known releases. Its not too bad but again i gambled by buying the soundtrack without hearing any of the tracks but felt that i could find a couple of gems. a couple i did find but overall below average
Tracks
Woo Woo (Freak Out) - MC Lyte & Nicci Gilbert. Its basically Le freak by chic but a touch slower and with a rap in it. Thats the best way i can describe it
Money - Charli Baltimore. The first single Charli Baltimore released and the production was top drawer on this which kind of overshadowed her rap performance. Samples For The Love of Money by the OJays and the big bassline makes this track a classic club anthem
Bouncin - Lost Boyz. Straight forward beats and rhymes make this an all round average song. poor chorus
Nobody does It better...

Advantages: Its a ghostbusters album Disadvantages: Not many tracks
...to their first job at the hotel where they find Slimer. Up tempo swing song with played with a lot of piano
Savin The Day - Bobby Alessi. Quality track that is played during the lead up to meeting Marshmallow Man. A really up lifting feel good 80s track similar to those affiliated with the Rocky films. Inspiring
In The Name Of Love - Tom Bailey. Slower song attached to Peters various meetings with Dana
I Can Wait Forever - Same as before but still a good song. Id love it to go back to the action related songs
Hot Night - Here we are. Features during the containment unit explosion and good synths are used in this one. You can tell as soon as it starts its from the 80s!
Magic - Same again. Another good track
Main Title Theme - Orchestral addition to the album using plenty of strings and elevating atmosphere
Danas theme...
