Title: One Stop Shopping for New Jack Swing
Review: Begining with Ice-T's effort, "New Jack Hustler," the listener immediately gets drawn into this gem of an album. "New Jack Hustler" ranks right up there as one of the greatest as well as underrated rap songs of the 1990's. It has a thumping beat, infectious samples and lyrics that are both angst-ridden and prescient.The rest of the album is extremely solid and does not bear the burdens of being dated. The medley, "For the Love of Money/Living for the City" is a true diamond in the rough on this album. The song features incredible harmony by Troop as well as an inspired rap by Queen Latifah.The song 'Lyrics 2 the Rhythm" is a bit mediocre and 2 Live Crew's effort, "In the Dust" is not very good as it detracts from the rest of the album.Though the movie did not endure (as it was not all that good), the soundtrack is quite outstanding and can be enjoyed by a wide range of people.
