5.0 out of 5 stars You Can't Stop The Hotness!, February 20, 2002

By	Warren Hartman (Inkster,Michigan) - See all my reviews

This one of the hottest soundtracks ever made.This a album filled with talent.From the So So Def artists to Mobb Deep,this is a c.d worth listening to.Songs like "You Can't Break Me"(Big Tymers),"Play"(Mobb Deep),and "Who Ya Love"(R.O.C) make the c.d tight.My point is,just go buy it.It's off the hook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hardball OST, September 18, 2001

By	"phenom22" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

Urban Vibes by Phenom

Pheatured Album:
Hardball OST
So So Def/Sony/ Columbia
Release Date: 9/11/01
Genre: Various Artists OST - Hip Hop

The Hardball OST stands up to the plate. The first pitch is thrown - Strike one! This album is clean, so be prepared for the nuisance of changed lyrics, strange sounds over curses, and other annoying ways of covering up foul language. The second pitch is thrown - It's a hit! A number of hiphop's favorite "Lil'" men including Lil' Bow Wow, Lil' Wayne, Lil' Zane, and the R&B vocals of Sammie have combined to create a radio friendly first single entitled "Hardball." From the top of the order down to the bottom, the Hardball OST's lineup never gives the pitcher or listener a break. The heavy hitters consist of artists such as Jagged Edge, RL from Next, R. Kelly, Mobb Deep, Big Tymers, Da Brat, The Notorious BIG, Xscape, and the "Lil'" men previously noted - all brought together by the team's successful manager and producer Jermaine Dupri. Complementing the talent of these elite are newcomers R.O.C., Tigah, and Fundisha - all three showing considerable potential. One may have heard R.O.C. and Tigah rapping on a number of So So Def produced remixes and other impressive endeavors while also catching a soothing earful of Fundisha "Johnson" as a background vocalist on Tyrese's and Lauryn Hill's last albums. It is rumored that Fundisha's "Insomnia" is to be the next single which will most likely find the success of previously released singles such as Toya's "I Do" or Mona Lisa's "Can't Be Wasting My Time" to bring it back a little. If you are looking for thought-provoking lyrics or hardcore beats, this soundtrack is not for you. If you enjoy commercial hiphop with an occasional ballad, the Hardball OST is a good bet.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Music is tight!, April 27, 2003

A Kid's Review

Dude, if you like rap and hip hop, you definitely gotta hook up wit someone and get this tight cd yo! The songs are great. Some are fast and some are slow. The cd is edited, so for the younger dudes, this music has no swears and has clean lyrics. The songs are awesome and this soundtrack is definitely the best one that I have ever listened to, so you should definitely go out and buy it. IT is worth every cent.
