Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
As could be ascertained from songs like "Play That Funky Music (White Boy)" and "Undercova Funk," the keyword for the nugget-filled Undercover Brother soundtrack is funk. In other words, prominently twanging bass lines, swinging saxophones and horns, and syncopated gymnastics abound on this instant party mix. Whether political (James Brown, Gil Scott-Heron), empowering women (Kool & the Gang, Cheryl Lynn), or championing good old-fashioned love (the O' Jays), the choice cuts included are timeless and (mostly) not too overplayed. Only when the album tries to modernize these classics does it lose its freshness. Snoop Dogg's version of "Undercova Funk" is successful thanks to guests like Bootsy Collins, but Lil' J's 2002 version of "I Need Luv" drags aimlessly for over six minutes, and the "Theme from Undercover Brother" is a pale cool-cat imitator. Nevertheless, the album is undoubtedly a perfect funk compilation for any occasion--just add grooviness and stir. --Annie Zaleski

1 out of 5 stars Undercover Brothers.......2007-03-13

I wanted the movie DVD but I got the CD instead. I am not happy.

4 out of 5 stars Good.......2005-03-08

There are some cool R&B and funk old school songs, but what's amusing is that the 'white' songs that appeared in the movie (*Nsync's "Here We Go" and Willa Ford's "I Wanna Be Bad") are absent, I suppose because they were only used in comical situations in the movie, and trying to be portrayed as bad music. Anyways. This is alright.

5 out of 5 stars a missing piece to an awesome puzzle.......2004-10-29

this cd rocks. it has the best songs from the movie and they're good to sing along to. the best songs include " ladies night", "the theme song" and all of the funk songs. the only song i think should be on there is the famous "ebony and ivory" song which is sung by undercover brother as a dork and the white-she devil. but if you're looking for a well constructed soundtrack to a hilarious and classical movie, this is worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars Funkadelic.......2004-10-07

This CD rocks. Anybody know why this movie was only in theaters for 2 weeks? It was so friggin good.

4 out of 5 stars Mr. Feather's Dance Song.......2004-09-01

Actually, the song that Mr. Feather dances to IS Family Affair by Mary J. Blige.
