5.0 out of 5 stars
The best EP I've ever heard, but..., July 17, 2002
This review is from: New Jersey Drive, Vol. 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
...That having been said, it's also the most solid chunk of East-Coast hip-hop released in 1995. Unfortunately, when someone was packaging the soundtrack, they figured it would be a good idea to put 20-some songs on "Vol. 1" and EIGHT SONGS on "Vol. 2." The result is an overpriced EP, but it's well worth it.
While "New Jersey Drive" may have been a fairly average film, the soundtrack was of the highest quality. And the majority of the quality material was saved for this installment.
The low-key loop of the E. Bros. "Funky Piano" highlights the MC's smoky, gritty flow. The Beatminerz provide a menacing backdrop for Black Moon's "Headz Ain't Ready," and Mad Lion growls up a storm on the KRS-One-produced "Own Destiny."
Funkmaster Flex works a wicked horn loop into the energetic "Flipsquad's In Da House. O.C. & Organized Konfusion go on a car-jacking spree in "You Won't Go Far," and DJ Premier blesses Jeru the Damaja with a tight track for the obligatory police-brutality ode, "Invasion."
Oh, and just in case you need one MORE reason to buy "New Jersey Drive, Vol. 2," Biz Markie flips Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle." Yeah, that's right.

Good old school hip hop, December 24, 2000
This review is from: New Jersey Drive, Vol. 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This is an awesome little album. Short, but with no tracks that you can complain about. All are tight, well done, and are an example of fine old-school hip hop. A must buy for any Naughty by Nature fan.

Very Cool to drive with it.
Back in the days of '95 when me & my homies playing Basket Ball, We used to listen this at the playground.
