Kelly. | | The soundtrack to John Singleton's road-racing film features 15 rap anthems, most of them new and all of them perfectly primed -- like the movie itself -- for a rap/rock/club marketing trifecta. Most are crossover-heavy and tending toward Southern bounce, led by co-star Ludacris and his Disturbing tha Peace posse; both I-20 and Shawnna get feature tracks, as well as heavy plugs inside for their upcoming Def Jam South full-lengths. Star Tyrese gets a track with Ludacris and R. Kelly, but it's weaker even than his solo work for J Records. Joe Budden's immense left-field hit "Pump It Up" is the highlight here, followed by Trick Daddy's "Represent" and Ludacris' own "Act a Fool." ~ John Bush | | The initial FAST & FURIOUS movie was a fast-cars flick featuring Vin Diesel. 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS is a rather different affair, starring R&B singer Tyrese. Accordingly, the film's soundtrack is a contemporary urban endeavor full of hard-hitting but accessible hip-hop tracks from a variety of popular artists. There are a passel of top rappers, including Ludacris ("Act a Fool"), Fat Joe ("We Ridin'"), and Lil' Flip ("Rollin' On 20's"). Naturally, the R&B side of things is represented as well, by the likes of K'Jon (the smoothly understated "Miami") and of course Tyrese Himself (the scene-setting jumper "Pick up the Phone"), with assists from Ludacris and none other than R. Kelly). | | The initial FAST & FURIOUS movie was a fast-cars flick featuring Vin Diesel. 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS is a rather different affair, starring R&B singer Tyrese.
