I had to step and put my 5 in here, after seeing overall the Soundtrack received 3 stars. This is an EXECELLENT soundtrack with a variety of different types of songs. It has R&b, Hip hop, rap, smooth soul... I mean it's very well produced. My fav song is Tevin Campbells' "Knocks Me Off My Feat" (a beautifully intimate song about love and the imagination of love) and "Lets Stay Together" by Eric Benet' but the entire cd is great and I don't see how it could hve been any better. This is most definitely a classic! It still in heavy rotation with me.

Okay so the soundtrack wasn't certified platinum or anything, so what!!! Like most people with a pure love of music you look at more than the packing and take the song for what it is....for instance R. Kelly's "Freak Tonight" is a cool 'bout to get your freak on song, The Luniz "Ring My Bell" is straight comical and on point if you like them, Roger Troutman's "Chocolate City" is a classic -period-.....and "Come Over" by Sandra St. Victor is the sleeper on this cd that I think would have blown up if it got regular airplay...maybe it even could now. Okay, so I'm sort of biased because I actually liked the cd, but you will too even if it's just to hear H-Town's version of "Thin Line Between Love & Hate."

Honestly I only like maybe 5 tracks on this album. The opening song is tight, there is a lil variation between it and the version in the film. Come Over by Sandra St. Victor is hands down the best song on the album. My favorites: 1, 2, 4, 9, 10, 11, 13-15. Tevin Campbell's song is alright.

Okay, so maybe I like more than 5 tracks! I only got the album for the first song, but it really surprised me and I'm glad to add it to my collection.

I love this cd. Great movie. If you got the movie,get this cd to go with it.

Seems like for the better part of the 1990s soundtracks were "the" in thing in music.

This was another one.

If you like any of the following in a great soundtrack, cop this one:

1) Music put on the LP that you actually recognize from the original motion picture.

2) A hot mix of contemporary, popular artists consistent with the time of the movie's release.

3) A nice number of contributions from budding, unhyped new artists that actually help make the soundtrack complete.

4) An overall musical selection that fits the tone of the movie.

Thin Line was a classic movie released my freshman year of college (1996) and every time I listen to this soundtrack it takes me back to that time.

That's a signature of great music, period.

Songs to check for on this soundtrack:

--Tevin Campbell's cover of Stevie Wonder's timeless love jam "Knocks Me Off My Feet"

--H-Town's soulful remake of the title track

--"Damned If I Do (Damned if I Don't)" by Something for the People

--"Just Beware of My Crew" by LBC which captures that '90s West Coast sound

--R. Kelly's "Freak Tonight"

And of course D'Angelo's masterpiece "Brown Sugar" (you already know!)

This soundrack from 1996 has some to love and some to hate. L.B.C. Crew started the soundtrack off well with the Zapp sample "Beware Of My Crew". Somethin' For The People came with a smooth track on relationships featuring Adina Howard to add to the effects of it. "Freak Tonight", a mid-tempo, bounce by R. Kelly was slept on as it may very well be the reason to purchase A Thin Line Between Love & Hate. The laid back gangsta groove by Soopafly tells us with a more lyrical, gangster twist of hardness. Ganjah K's "Love Got My Mind Trippin'" is okay at best, but nice to listen to. The best rap song on here is by the underdog Dru Down as he shows us he's a "Playa Fo Real". Roger Troutman brought another classic with the slow, seductive and nasty "Chocolate City". Eric Benet and Sandra St. Victor both delivered love tunes to make it altogether worthy. Don't be dissappointed you don't have to buy this new! But there's something on here you need to add to your collection.

the only reason why I was interested in this soundtrack was because of R.Kelly's "Freak Tonight" that Sampled Mtume's "Juicy Fruit".it works pretty good for the track.but for the most part this SOundtrack is pretty forgettable just like the film.

This CD is not worth the money. It was a lousy movie and a lousy soundtrack. There is a lot better soundtracks you can buy. Try something more recent like Big Mommas House Soundtrack. This CD has a couple of good songs, so I gave it a couple of stars.
