You can always count on Spike Lee to have some great music behind his films Do The Right Thing, Crooklyn, Mo Better Blues, Get On The Bus.. Now the soundtrack to his latest film Bamboozled.. The Soundtrack is an great mixture of artists from hip hop to R&B to Pop .. With an impressive line up of artists like Gerald Levert, Erykah Badu, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Goodie Mob you cant possible go wrong with buying this soundtrack.. All the songs on here are pretty much connected with the theme of the film which is a rarity in soundtracks..

The soundtrack gets off to a great start with an fictional group Mau Maus that was put together exclusively for the film consisted of some of the best emcees out there right now Mos Def, Canibus, Charli Baltimore, Mc Serch( Of the 3rd Base fame), D.J. Scratch, Mums, Gano Grills comes in with the hittin Blak Iz Blak this song pretty much set the tone of the film

Misrepresented People by Stevie Wonder a great song dealing with the negative stereotypes

Slippery Shoes by Angie Stone.. This song is excellent it has a Marvin Gaye's What's going On vibe to it

In My Head by Newcomer India.Arie a brilliant debut from the next generation of Neo-soul artists also at the Cd Conclusion there are snippets from her upcoming CD

Just A Song by Goodie Mob

Hollywood by Erykah Badu; Great remade of the classic Rufus & Chaka Khan tune

Dream With No Love by Gerald Levert

2045 Radicial Man by Prince : One of his funkiest tunes in a long time also in this song Prince goes back to his roots of his earlier material making social commentary that has been miss in his music of lately

All N All a great soundtrack all around.. Music lovers pick this up you will be glad that you did

I was very impressed by this album - it has incredible tracks by Stevie Wonder (Misrepresented People), Erykah Badu (Hollywood), The Roots & Public Enemy (Burned Hollywood Burned) and more. Prince's track (2045 Radical Man) is pretty good, although the drum beat was a little bit standard for Prince these days. Despite this, the musical content seemed pretty experimental. Blak iz Blak by supergroup Mau Maus is fantastic and Stevie Wonder's Misrepresented People continues to give me shivers.

Unfortunately, the album has pretty boring mainstream R&B tracks by the likes of Gerald Levert and Profyle to bring it down.

Also noteworthy is newcomer India.Arie, who has one full track on the album and a bunch of samples of her upcoming album. Her acoustic soul sound looks great and her songs are both catchy and melodic. She may be a force on the R&B scene in 2001.

Overall, I highly recommend the album for anyone who loves R&B and Hip-Hop with a message.

How can you go wrong with a Spike Lee Joint soundtrack? Not to mention one that includes Stevie Wonder? I just picked it up today, and I love it already. The Common/Badu remix is definitely tight. I think this soundtrack is great, and will be added to my other favorite soundtracks including School Daze, Jungle Fever and Do the Right Thing.
