Synopsis

Amazon.com
Chris Rock may get the laughs onscreen, but Down to Earth's musical directors are quick to make sure that the music is no laughing matter. Tracks incorporate '70s soul influences (Ruff Endz learned Stevie Wonder well) through modern rap and R&B. Several top-shelf names (Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill) add established tunes to the proceedings; 1993's "Gin and Juice" remains an ominous example of West Coast hip-hop's climb to fame with seductive singalongs accompanying Dr. Dre's lo-slung G-funk. There's also plenty more to explore. Sticky Fingaz, featuring Eminem, set down pounding rhythmic trills to underscore "What If I Was White." Monica and Kelly Rowland (of Destiny's Child) serve up orchestrated romantic pop--a genre that lapses into lifeless parody whenever the grooves sag and/or the singer is too indistinct to rise above the occasion (3LW's "Never Let Go"). Random missteps aside, Down to Earth serves up a dance party for those who prefer to take it slow. --Rob O'Connor

"giving four only cuz the r&b and Hip hop songs, that i like a
lot.
i got disapointed cuz a lot of songs played in the movie
didnt make to this cd, so is this a really movie soundtrack or
whatever.....There's a lot of good songs indeed , but if you watched the film
and wanted the movie's songs, stay away from this albumMusics wich have been cut off the movie soundtrack that actually
plays on the movie on the funny scenes
Cardigans - my favorite game(played when chris do a non stop phone calls)
Mystical - Shake that ass (played when his thought ex-wife disguised like a black womem and shaking her tries to recover the love from his ded husband "chris rock")
DMX - Ruff Riders (played at the diner when a black guy comes and
hit "crhis rock" in the face.)"
Highly Recommended!

"I really like this soundtrack. It is a nice mix of R&B and Rap/Hip-Hop. The best tracks are "Gin and Juice" by Snoop Dogg, "Glitches" by The Roots, and "Thug Music Plays On" By Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony."
