3.0 out of 5 stars LIKED THE ALBUM WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN MOVIE, October 2, 2002

This review is from: Booty Call: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I PURCHASED THE BOOTY CALL SOUNDTRACK AFTER HEARING THE SILK & GERALD LEVERT SONGS FEATURED ON THE ALBUM. I MUST ADMIT THAT A LOT OF THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM SEEMED TO HAVE VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH THE MOVIE; HOWEVER, I REALLY ENJOYED MOST OF THE ALBUM.

Although Booty Call was not representative of the best movie for African Americans, the soundtrack was what made the movie for me. From the Johnny Gill & Coko duet, SWV, R. Kelly, to Gerald Levert...this soundtrack could do no wrong. I'm truly enjoying it.

This review is from: Booty Call: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Usually when a movie is bad, people have to count on the soundtrack to make things better. Well, this soundtrack didn't do the trick.

This album is disorganized right from the start. As any album does, the back of this album has the track listing-but it's not in order. The liner notes have the track listing in worse order. The only correct order of songs can be found on the face of the CD itself. Out of 16 tracks, there are four completely good ones-the first four. SWV's "Can We" and Joe's "Don't Wanna Be A Player" are good, no questions asked, and R. Kelly's "Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby..." (I don't know why it's on here) brings back memories. Johnny Gill and Coko remade Rick James' "Fire & Desire," but they sing it in such a way that many people probably won't be able to tell this version from the original.

The rest of the soundtrack lacks in variety. There are very predictable songs from Silk ("Feel Good") and Too Short with Lil' Kim ("Call Me"), and the thing that really brings the album down is the raunchiness of it. I know the movie is called Booty Call, but can't they draw the line somewhere? And to top THAT, most of the songs are generic lyrics spit from people you've never heard of (like Crooked and D-Shot). Squirrel ("Let Me See You Squirrel") sounds like a cheap version of DMC, and 1 Accord's song "Don't Stop, Don't Quit" (what year is this...1990?) has the uncreative chorus "To the hip-hip the hop it don't stop/To the hip-hip the hop it don't quit." Yawn...

Another problem with this soundtrack is that some of the other good songs just don't seem to fit. KRS-One brings us a good message about the hazards, if you will, of teenage sex in "Plan Up Your Family," but it seems a little weird hearing about that on an album called Booty Call. Also, "If You Stay" is where you'll hear Backstreet Boys in their early days, but their singing is so soulful you might call their latest album an example of selling out.

All in all, this 74-minute album is about 45 minutes of filler. You can borrow it from someone to hear the first four tracks...if you can find someone who'll admit to owning it.
