Review rated by 10 Ciao members on average: very helpful
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 - Warren G & Nate Dogg. These two keep pulling off great tracks. This is probably as good as regulate but didnt get released i dont think. The two styles just go so well together and for some reason i looked forward to checking this track out the most because somehow i knew it would be good. Best track on the album
Get'n It On - Mona Lisa. Tempo has slowed now and we go to a lights down bump and grind track which is quite catchy. Simple but effective
If You Love Me - Stokley of Mint Condition. Great voice and ideal for a romantic night in. Really nice track which keeps you listening, i under rated this when i first heard it but listening to it now i apprechiate it more
T Shirt & Panies - Adina Howard. Interesting. Slow bumping and grinding track again. Jamie Foxx feature on this track as backing vocals but quite a popular track for the ladies
Ni**az done started something - DMX, Lox and Mase. Hardhitting track which doesnt really do much and sounds slightly out of time! Poor production brings the whole thing down
J-A-N-E meets N-O-R-E. - Jane Blaze & Noreage. Ok this just 'Love Like This' by Faith Evans with two raps in it.
357 - Camron. Quite possibly Cam'ron's best tune and funnily enough his first. Sampling the Magnum PI opening credits this is another cult classic. Good tune. Production makes it, you dont really care whos rapping on it
Let It Be - Allure & 50 Cent. Good track from Allure, simple and effective. Written by Teddy Riley but its interesting to hear how different 50 cent sounds. an average and short rap from him
Take a ride - Heavy D & McGruff. poor track that jumps around but you quickly lose interest
I Will - Simone Hines. Nice love song with a really heartwarming vibe. Great voice
Superman - Chico DeBarge. WTF? Shocking. produced by Chico aswell, what must he have been thinking to put this out?
Searching - Brownstone. The standard of love song on this album has been really good and besides a couple of rap tracks steal it for me on this album. Another good one from Brownstone, not as good as the Simone Hines track but good enough
Drama in my life - 8Ball. haunting beats but poor raps. Not really interesting
i Know You Love Her - Too Short. Another poor track to end on.
Overall some good love songs on here and one two rap tracks which appear on other and better compilations apart from that nothing too much to shout about.
