Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The coming-of-age angle in the sports romance movie Love & Basketball is played up by this sharp soundtrack album. The music ranges from Al Green's eternal "Love and Happiness" to galvanizing late-'80s rap classics (Rob Base's "It Takes Two," MC Lyte's "Lyte as a Rock") to some of the best new-school R&B. Angie Stone takes Simply Red's calling card "Holding Back the Years" to church and then back to her softly lit pad, while alt hip-hoppers Black Eyed Peas team with Les Nubians for the atmospheric "Complete Beloved." The disc also boasts the welcome return of ex-Tony! Toni! Tone! frontman Raphael Saadiq with his new partners Dawn Robinson (formerly of En Vogue) and one-time Tribe Called Quest member Ali Shaheed Muhammad in the band Lucy Pearl. Their "Dance Tonight" is a spirited jam that no doubt plays well in the movie--and definitely does out of it. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT, April 22, 2000
By Tony_Tone "Anthony Jamal Smith" (Washington, D.C., District of Columbia United States) - See all my reviews
For those of you that like a little bit of the old school and new school you dont have to look any further but to this soundtrack to Love and Basketball a great mixture of old school r&b tracks from the great Al Green 's Love and Happiness to the Butter smooth Sweet Thing by Rufus and Chaka Khan still one of my personal favorite tunes from back in the day .. Still does something to me everytime i hear it.. The early days of New Jack I Like- Guy is represented here as well .. To the new school Angie Stone's unforgettable soulful rendition Of Simply Red's Holding Back The years .. Donell Jones smooth I'll Go .. To the Supergroup Lucy Pearl Dance Tonight which is truly the best cut of the newer material.. Having people really anticipating their debut album.. A little bit of the old school hip hop is well represented here with two classic tracks It Takes Two from Rob Base and Ez Rock and MC Lyte's Lyte As A Rock.. also with good efforts Bilal , Black Eyed Peas.. This is really a great soundtrack.. it's a must to any one's collection that likes a little of both worlds..Old School and New School..

To those who wondering about that song that is played during the love scene between Epps/Lathan in the movie.. The song is called A Women's Work performed by Maxwell and it can be found on his Live Unplugged CD.. The only minor criticsm i have is that track that is mentioned and New Edition's Candy Girl wasnt included in the soundtrack other than that this is truly great stuff here

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, but One Thing Missing, April 20, 2000
By A Customer
I love the songs - new & old school, espicially Angie Stone's "Holding Back the Years" (Old Simply Red). I really love the Me'Shell Ndegeocello song (Fool of Me) on the cd. I mainly bought the cd for the love song (the one played duringthe lead characters first love scene). It sounds like Maxwell, but it's nowhere to be found on the cd - what's up with that? Otherwise, a great selection.
