Synopsis

Amazon.com
"Who is the man that would risk his life for his brother man?" Why, the same man who nearly 30 years later is brought to life by Samuel L. Jackson in John Singleton's remake of the 1971 classic. That's private eye John Shaft--any questions? Isaac Hayes won an Oscar for the original movie's theme and that double-album soundtrack remains an essential of its genre. It's a tall order to fill those flatfoot shoes, but there's plenty of fine soul music here to go around. R. Kelly scrubs away the varnish of modern R&B with two compelling old-school grooves, "Bad Man" and "Up and Outta Here." Donell Jones, Alicia Keys, Carl Thomas, and Angie Stone also ride out the early 1970s R&B vibe with lush strings and funky guitars backlighting the romantic mood. It's not all nostalgia, however. Big Gipp (featuring Goodie Mob), OutKast, Sleepy Brown, and others represent today's hip-hop laced with a healthy nod to the days of Philly Soul, Gamble and Huff-style. --Rob O'Connor

CD Reviews

70s Grooves for the year 2000
J. Highsmith | Mitchellville, Maryland United States | 06/15/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Just when you thought soundtracks couldn't get any better, (The Best Man, Romeo Must Die, Love And Basketball, and Big Momma's House has already impressed us in late 99 and early 2000.) The "Shaft (2000)" soundtrack has been brought to us. With the exception of "Theme From Shaft" by Isaac Hayes, all of these songs were made this year, but most of them still have that 70s appeal to it. This example is clear in what I think are the best two songs on the soundtrack: R Kelly's "Up And Outta Here" and Donell Jones' "Do What I Gotta Do". R Kelly does it again with this song, ladies and gentlemen. You'll be reminded of his last double CD, after hearing this song. Other highlights on this soundtrack are: R Kelly's "Bad Man", Outkast and UGK's "Tough Guy", T.I.P. and Beanie Sigel's "2 Glock 9's" and Parle w/Jadakiss and Eve with "Fix Me". Anyone that likes new music with a 70s appeal to it, will love the "Shaft (2000)" soundtrack."
If you like hip hop, this album is for you!

"Personally, I'm not a major fan of today's R&B industry. In fact, I expected the majority of the soundtrack to resemble more of the 70's soul and jazz genre, wherewith this film originated. However, if you are a hip hop fan, you won't be disappointed with this purchase. Of course, the theme by Isaac Hayes really gets the album going and I must admit I really enjoyed R. Kelly additions. Overall, fans of the older Shaft that follow today's rap will more than likely enjoy this new rendition of a favorite film figure."
