5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best soundtracks of the nineties, January 30, 2000

This soundtrack is incredible. The beats on this album are to die for. It's full of high-octane, shut-up-and-dance cuts like "Ice Cream Dream," "The Best Things In Life Are Free," "Let's Get Together (So Groovy Now)", and "Money Can't Buy You Love." In addition, the soundtrack also includes the an enchanted star-soaked ballad by Mint Condition entitled "My Dear" --I recommend listening to that song at night, it just evokes such beautiful imagery. Overall, Mo Money is one of the best (if the best) soundtracks of the 90s. Worth it.

This review is from: Mo' Money: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I have to disagree with the guy that called this album weak. Not only that, he didn't even talk about the album -- he simply slammed Janet Jackson and Luther Vadross for doing a duet and referred to the rest as "mess". I'm guessing that the lack of detail is due to the fact that there wasn't much to speak ill of on this LP. I may have been 15 when this came out, and possibly not as in tune with what was considered good by adults when this dropped, but I can name several classics that are being played on adult stations in my area, VH1 Soul, and the like...

Johnny Gill - Let's Just Run Away
Ralph Tresvant - Money Can't Buy You Love
Janet & Luther - The Best Things In Life Are Free
Caron Wheeler - I Adore You
MC Lyte - Ice Cream Dream

I respect the opinions of others and he has every right to call this album "mess" if he sees fit, but I think the songs listed above are classic. They still get played in 2007 -- 15 years after its release. If you've already heard this album and you didn't dig it, then hit the nearest hospital and have them check you for a pulse. I'm not big on slow jams, even though most of them were good, so they fall under skip material for me (thus the less than perfect rating). But catch me at the right time and you may hear them playing. I mean, come on, Johnny Gill, Mint Condition, Even the most talentless r&b joke of the 90's, Color Me Badd (who I still can't stand), turned in a decent performance.

As far as forgettable tracks, of the 14 that appear on this album, I can only think of maybe two that would fall under that category (Joy & A Job Ain't Nothin' But Work). There are also a few tracks that, despite the fact that I dug them, I still recognize as being filler (Brother Will & The New Style) or having no musical value whatsoever...like "Get Off My Back", for example. I mean, Flavor Flav rapping about monkeys. Come on, now. Regardless of whether he his speaking figuratively or literally, the man should never be allowed to address anything that deals with monkeys...

The Mo' Money soundtrack is lighthearted and fun. If you take it too seriously, you'll miss the point -- I mean, it was the soundtrack to a comedy, after all. This LP was created to move butts and it did just that. If you dig the early 90's r&b/hip hop new jack swing type of sound that Teddy Riley created and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis helped popularize, then get this album a.s.a.p. I highly recommend this to anyone that's the least bit curious. It's a steal at $0.48...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Timeless Tunes, September 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mo' Money: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

My favourite tunes on the album are Ice Cream Dream, I adore You and Money can't by you love. I bought this album back in 1992 and lost it I loved the album so much that I went out and got it again. The movie was excellent too. Another favourite soundtrack album of mine is Above the Rim.
