For those of you that like a little bit of the old school and new school you dont have to look any further but to this soundtrack to Love and Basketball a great mixture of old school r&b tracks from the great Al Green 's Love and Happiness to the Butter smooth Sweet Thing by Rufus and Chaka Khan still one of my personal favorite tunes from back in the day .. Still does something to me everytime i hear it.. The early days of New Jack I Like- Guy is represented here as well .. To the new school Angie Stone's unforgettable soulful rendition Of Simply Red's Holding Back The years .. Donell Jones smooth I'll Go .. To the Supergroup Lucy Pearl Dance Tonight which is truly the best cut of the newer material.. Having people really anticipating their debut album.. A little bit of the old school hip hop is well represented here with two classic tracks It Takes Two from Rob Base and Ez Rock and MC Lyte's Lyte As A Rock.. also with good efforts Bilal , Black Eyed Peas.. This is really a great soundtrack.. it's a must to any one's collection that likes a little of both worlds..Old School and New School..

To those who wondering about that song that is played during the love scene between Epps/Lathan in the movie.. The song is called A Women's Work performed by Maxwell and it can be found on his Live Unplugged CD.. The only minor criticsm i have is that track that is mentioned and New Edition's Candy Girl wasnt included in the soundtrack other than that this is truly great stuff here

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, but One Thing Missing, April 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Love & Basketball: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)

I love the songs - new & old school, espicially Angie Stone's "Holding Back the Years" (Old Simply Red). I really love the Me'Shell Ndegeocello song (Fool of Me) on the cd. I mainly bought the cd for the love song (the one played duringthe lead characters first love scene). It sounds like Maxwell, but it's nowhere to be found on the cd - what's up with that? Otherwise, a great selection.
