Haven't seen Foolish, the movie? Don't worry. As with most soundtracks these days, this one is thoroughly superfluous to the film itself, though it does serve up some bangers to complement the film's mash. C-Murder balances his own scale, displaying characteristic aggression on "Runnin' from the Police" alongside uncharacteristic thoughtfulness on "Like a Jungle." With "School on Lock" ("Second grade got the school on lock! Third grade got the school on lock!"), Lil' Soldiers, the youngest No Limit product, are indeed shaping up to be another bad creation. Even more telling, they've got the best beat of the bunch, leaving it clear who bears the torch--and whose sun is setting. All in all, Foolish is so exceedingly... well, mediocre that even classic tracks from Marvin Gaye, the O'Jays, and Parliament fail to make up for the rest. --Jon Caramanica
