Dave LaChappelle did an excellent job of making the music an essential character in the movie. I intentionally waited a month after seeing the movie to get the soundtrack. I wanted to see if the music could take me back to the theater again to relive the emotions I felt when I watched to movie. It surely did. Like the dancing, the music on this soundtrack is going to sweep the country. They go hand in hand. Great movie, great soundtrack.

This is a wonderful collection of songs from the movie, including some jamming hip hop along with gospel numbers and a very soulful song from Cristina Aguilera. The bits of dialogue inserted into a few select numbers are insightful and a bit heart wrenching. The only disappointment for me was that during the credits in the movie, there was a song which was a mix of an Elton John song with Tupac (yes, really) and that is not on the CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars DIAMOND in the ROUGH, December 17, 2005

I have seen David LaChappelle's documentary film: 'RIZE' and was completely blown away by its presentation, artistic sensitivity, its exploration of body & soul and the marriage of both in rhythmic splendor; and too, in the surprising exposition of INTELLECT as expressed by its film dancers & characters, which bears out my premise that intellect is the 'diamond in the rough,' whereas intelligence is simply and affordably acquired. The people therein will serve as an inspiration to their generation and those to come, with their spiritual maturity, intellect, artistry, and 'rize' above environmental gravity. I do not know them personally, and it does take much to gain my respect, but I will say outrightly: I am proud of them! The very essence of survival, wisdom, battle fatigue, despair, death, and its rise over these crippling effects, are the fodder of which any aspiring writer or preacher could take for their next book or sermon. My respect goes out to them all. God bless them one and all.
