| The Bad Boys II soundtrack is the only place fans can find the underground smash hit "Realest N%@$#!" featuring 50 Cent & The late great Notorious B.I.G. P. Diddy joins Lenny Kravitz and the Neptunes' Pharrell on "Show Me Your Soul." The album also has exclusive cuts from Justin Timberlake ("I Love You") and Beyonce ("Keep Giving Your Love To Me"). Along with Bad Boy artists Mario Winans, G. Dep and Loon, the soundtrack also includes Fat Joe, Foxy Brown, G-Unit and Will Smith. The Bad Boys II soundtrack complements the highly anticipated, fast-paced action-movie. Will Smith (Mike Lowry) and Martin Lawrence (Marcus Burnett) reprise their roles as detectives investigating a major drug conspiracy involving a vicious kingpin on the mean streets of Miami. The movie reunites producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay. Gabrielle Union, Jordi Molla and Theresa Randle are also featured in the movie.

But Bad Boys II breaks both of these rules by assembling a mighty lineup that could very well be unprecedented in terms of sheer commercial star power. The album wastes no time and starts off with a one-two bang courtesy of a Neptunes-produced track featuring Pharrell, Lenny Kravitz, and P. Diddy on "Show Me Your Soul" and Jay-Z delivering one of his most fiery vocals in ages with "La La La." And there's no sign of letting up from this point, with contributions from diva Beyonc?, Fat Joe, Nelly, and 50 Cent featuring a posthumous appearance by the Notorious B.I.G. Biggie's delivery is so pure and potent that it's a reminder of how significant his contribution to modern rap was, and how sorely he is missed. Things tend to slow down a bit from here, courtesy of laid-back grooves from Snoop Dogg and Foxy Brown, and Justin Timberlake doing the best white-boy imitation of D'Angelo ever with "Love Don't Love Me." With Puffy as executive producer and an all-star lineup like this, one would expect nothing less than a superb album that delivers the goods, and even with minor filler this steps up and is more than equal to the task. ~ Rob Theakston | | The BAD BOYS movies are brought to you by irrepressible producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay, whose films display awe-inspiring action over all else. Who better to bring the star-studded soundtrack for BAD BOYS II together but hip-hop's crown prince of extravagance, Sean "Puffy/P. Diddy" Combs? P. Diddy emcees a wild party as both luminaries of the rap and R&B world drop in along with a healthy collection of up-and-comers. | | The soundtrack opens fittingly enough with the "Bad Boys" themselves, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, playfully fumbling over the familiar Inner Circle hit. Then Combs arrives in grandiose style with a track of his own, featuring Lenny Kravitz, classic Neptunes production, and N.E.R.D.'s Pharrell Williams' deft instrumentation, as well as additional vocals by Loon. In fact, the lesser-known Loon frequently steals the show, particularly on a solid duet with the master Snoop Dogg, "Gangsta Sh*t," along with his own solo banger, "Relax Your Mind." Other standouts include emphatically soulful songs by Beyonce and Justin Timberlake, a deft combination of rap's past and present on the Biggie and 50 Cent track, and Freeway's brash "Flipside." | | The BAD BOYS movies are brought to you by irrepressible producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay, whose films display awe-inspiring action over all else.
