70s Grooves for the year 2000, June 15, 2000
This review is from: Music From And Inspired By Shaft (Audio CD)
Just when you thought soundtracks couldn't get any better, (The Best Man, Romeo Must Die, Love And Basketball, and Big Momma's House has already impressed us in late 99 and early 2000.) The "Shaft (2000)" soundtrack has been brought to us. With the exception of "Theme From Shaft" by Isaac Hayes, all of these songs were made this year, but most of them still have that 70s appeal to it. This example is clear in what I think are the best two songs on the soundtrack: R Kelly's "Up And Outta Here" and Donell Jones' "Do What I Gotta Do". R Kelly does it again with this song, ladies and gentlemen. You'll be reminded of his last double CD, after hearing this song. Other highlights on this soundtrack are: R Kelly's "Bad Man", Outkast and UGK's "Tough Guy", T.I.P. and Beanie Sigel's "2 Glock 9's" and Parle w/Jadakiss and Eve with "Fix Me". Anyone that likes new music with a 70s appeal to it, will love the "Shaft (2000)" soundtrack.

If you like hip hop, this album is for you!, June 14, 2000
This review is from: Music From And Inspired By Shaft (Audio CD)
Personally, I'm not a major fan of today's R&B industry. In fact, I expected the majority of the soundtrack to resemble more of the 70's soul and jazz genre, wherewith this film originated. However, if you are a hip hop fan, you won't be disappointed with this purchase. Of course, the theme by Isaac Hayes really gets the album going and I must admit I really enjoyed R. Kelly additions. Overall, fans of the older Shaft that follow today's rap will more than likely enjoy this new rendition of a favorite film figure.
