First some minor notes:
- In addition to the new Outkast movie and staring in Be Cool, "Andre 3000” Benjamin has been tapped to star in and produce a new untitled musical. The musical will concern a man with "magical" powers. Great that's all we need another Magical Negro.
- Don't be fooled by the bootlegs of Common's new album. According to Common "They ain't got all the songs yet."
And now our main story.
I hope the movie isn't half as bad as the soundtrack. I recently got to a chance to listen to samples from this album so let's run down the track list:
Get XXX’d by J-Kwon featuring Petey Pablo & Ebony Eyez - I'm just not feeling this one.
Anybody Seen The PoPo’s?! by Ice Cube - I guess it was in his contract that he had to contribute to the soundtrack.
Fight The Power by KoRn featuring Xzibit - This probably was a good idea but the execution is just garbage.
Messiah by Dead Celebrity Status - They sound like early Cypress Hill. Check out their site here.
Oh No by Big Boi featuring Killer Mike & Bubba Sparxxx - Weak production can bring a record down no matter who is spitting on the track.
The Payback by P.O.D. - Not a bad track, but I expect better from them.
Dirty Little Thing by Velvet Revolver - I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for STP and GnR so I'll give this track a pass.
Wyle Out by Bone Crusher - Throw ya bows y'all Bone Crusher repeats himself into oblivion with this one.
Here We Go by Dirtbag - This track is produced by Timbaland. And that's probably the only good thing cause I wasn't really listening to the words.
Dis Dat Block by YoungBloodZ - I'm sure this song will uplift the black community. SIKE!
Lookin’ For U by Chingy featuring G.I.B. - Just press skip.
The March by Hush - Hush is a MC from Detroit, but don't think he's another Eminem he sounds more like Icecube before he went Hollywood. This track is one of the few bright spots on this album. Check out his site here.
MKLVFKWR by Moby & Public Enemy - The colaboration looks good on paper but it really misses the mark on this one.
Just Like Wylin’ by Bone Crusher & Three Days Grace - This is probably the most radio friendly song on the album. I'm sure this song is in steady rotation on your local KRock station.
Did It Again by Labba - This cat sounds like a southern version of Shyne without the depth.
The Good Song by Tonéx - This song sounds like Prince post Purple Rain. Gospel and funk can sound good together but this ain't that song.
The movie comes out this Friday April 29, 2005.

Movie soundtracks are usually a bust. Except for the one for the "Titanic". That was great.
Just kidding.
