Featuring both hip-hop tracks and performance excerpts from the Spike Lee-directed concert film, this soundtrack CD should crack you up and make you move. Steve Harvey's routines are top notch. "Something Got to Be Wrong W... more »ith Cuba" humorously points out America's cultural arrogance during the Elian Gonzalez affair, while "Church All the Time" features a foul-mouthed, church-going octogenarian. D.L. Hughley's very funny routines tend to have a classic black-humor theme: the differences between white people and black people. Hughley's "What Black Folks Do for Entertainment" works as both first-rate comedy and social commentary. The album also finds Cedric the Entertainer riffing on African-Americans playing sports like golf and tennis and Bernie Mac detailing his annoyance with his sister's kids. The five music tracks, which include work by various Cash Money artists, nicely break up the comedy portions of the disc. --Fred Cisterna« less

Where's the real music?

"I've just bought the VHS of this - and I thought it was truly excellent AND I could relate to it (even though I'm a person of little 'colour'...).However, I have a big problem with this CD. At the end of the film there's a long list of the cool "old school" music referred to in the film. I want to buy the old school music - not bits of comedy from the video. (Nor hip-hop that's barely even in the movie.... friends of Spike's perhaps?)."

"The Old School Song Cedric has playing in the background when he is driving the car is "Cutie Pie" by One Way.....or is it "One Way" by Cutie Pie? Either way, that's the song. It's funky!!"
