Editorial Reviews

Writer-director Spike Lee's latest is a dark satire on the television Industry, in which a frustrated Ivy League-educated black writer revives the racially insensitive minstrel show (now performed by blacks in even blacker face, as opposed to whites) and achieves a ratings success and industry fallout. The music has been carefully chosen and presents a wide swath of styles, clocking in at a generous 75 minutes. Prince, the artist formerly known as ?, is back with "2045 Radical Man," which features his trademark mix of old-school soul and updated funk. Stevie Wonder's "Misrepresented People" (featuring a spoken-word passage by the Rev. Jesse Jackson) and "Some Years Ago" are infused with social consciousness, recalling the message music of early 1970s soul. Chuck D. teams up with the Roots and Rage Against the Machine's Zack De La Rocha for an update of Public Enemy's "Burn Hollywood Burn." --Rob O'Connor

Ploylessness- Mums.......2003-11-05

I had seen this movies "Bamboozled" At the end of this movie, there were a number of songs that were playing coming to the end of this tape. Looking the title of this song that I am trying to find out who it is, I'm not sure of,cause the songs that was played may not had been played scatterly,like a number 2 song was played then number 7,which there are 1-20 songs of this soundtrack.

But I am very interested in song number 13. Ploylessness-Mums;which on this movie,it was the song played that was before Shadowlands, by Bruce Bornsby. But as I had said,I'm not sure if this is the jazz music that I am interested in. I looked up Mums,and came up with two recordings from this person! 1. Strange Fruit [Enhanced] and 2. The Mind Clouders. There isn't no titles on the Strange Fruit [Enhanced]. Therefore, I'm not sure that this music PLOYLESSNESS is on this CD. Here is where I need your help at! What is or who is it that had made this music that is before the song shadowlands by Bruce Hornsby on this movie. I had a strong feel that it may be the cd "Strange Fruit [Enhanced] cause it mentions such people as,(Coltrane,Parker, or Davis) Please e-mail me at: buckjones2001@yahoo.com in letting me know who is this cd is by?
Thank you, J. Keller

Well Represented.......2003-10-06

This soundtrack to Spike Lee's Bamboozled is an indeed spectacular soundtrack. Fitting in with the film's look at racism and stereotypes, Bamboozled's soundtrack features a cross-section of African-American Music of today, with Hip-Hop, R & B and Soul all well represented. The flow is a highly Neo-Soul/Underground Rap feel, with the exception of a few cuts. The highlights from the soundtrack include Angie Stone's "Slippery Shoes" (that sounds like it has a backing track stolen from a modernised version of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On")and Common and Erykah Badu's "In the Light" Remix.

But what makes this album a real gem is its tracks by two of the greats of African-American music; Prince and Stevie Wonder. Prince's "2045 Radical Man" is a typical example of his 'damn the industry' stance on record executives, all told behind a classic funky flow and an introduction that emulates a Martin Luther King speech (right down to the wavering intonation). Stevie Wonder's "Misrepresented People" is the best cut on the whole CD. Beginning with a harpsicord baroque feel and building to a circa 1995 R & B feel, the song follows the sad tale of the African-American. Its feel is absolutely soul-stirring and huanting; its lyrics heartfelt and clever (particularly its reference to Gangsta Rap's negative influence as 'Gangsta Crap'). This is probably one of the best songs Stevie has written this side of "Original Musiquarium" and is proof that Stevie Wonder still has immense talent.

So, whether you are a fan of Neo-Soul/Underground Rap,a fan of the movie or a Prince/Stevie Wonder completist, this is an excellent and highly recommended soundtrack.

Another Excellent Soundtrack @ Spike Lee Film.......2002-11-07

The film where this music is used is itself problematic. It is a black remake of "Network" which doesn't entirely work. What did work though, as usual in a Spike Lee film, was the absolutely fabulous music. He seems to always use Stevie Wonder for at least several cuts and did so here as well. Wonder's music goes especially well with Lee's films, perhaps because of the raw power and beauty he brings to his songs. However, my major discovery on this soundtrack was the relatively new artist, India Arie. She cut many tracks for this film as a prelude to her CD release of "Acoustic Soul." In some songs you could swear you are listening to a female Stevie Wonder and that is a compliment! I find a lot of rap music just too harsh and abrasive to listen to long term so it was refreshing to get a new black artist in soul instead of in rap or hip hop. So many of the great soul artists are from decades ago so I was grateful to see a new major artist emerge on the soul music scene.

Bamboozled Production.......2001-03-27

One of the main reasons I wanted this album was because of the "updated" version of "Burn Hollywood Burn". But when I bought the album and listened to that song I was shocked to hear one of the worst produced songs ever! If you listen to this track in your car the the loud, repetitive, and annoying hook will peirce your ears leaving you in pain! The lyrics are alright. The Goodie Mob song which is produced by Muggs is really tight with a nice piano loop and simply amazing and insightlful lyrics! Charlie Baltimore's track "Charlie" is a little to flashy or jiggy for me but it would be a nice cut for those who like Eve, Vita or any of that type of um.......GARBAGE. Also another slump in production comes from the song "Blak IZ Blak", the song isn't too bad, but upoun listening to it I noticed something empty or missing from the beat, it's just one of those songs that you forget right after you listened to it. I'm not too familer with Stevie Wonders earlier work but the songs he has on here are nice....deep emotion. Prince also brings the soul with "2045" a real funky song with nice lyrics aswell. But the main highlight on this album is India.Arie with her amazing ode to music- "In my Head"......wow she is gonna blow up!!! All in all this album is waaaaaay off balance with too many forgetable R&B songs and some poorly produced Hip-Hop tracks.

Don't buy this album unless you need a frisby with a water melon on it!

This is a really great sound track.......2001-03-17

I got this sound track because Stevie Wonder was one of the performers on it. I think that, "Miss reprisented people," is the best track on the CD. I also like, "Hollywood," and, "Some years ago." "Hollywood," is a really great track! The vocles on it are excellent. Stevie Wonder does a great job with, "Miss Reprisented people," and, "Some Years ago." The singing, aranging, and production are great!

Loved the disc! Especially loved "In My Head" by India.Aire...who is she??? SENSATIONAL!

I'm Bamboozled!!!.......2000-10-18

Just when I think the best song has been written and song, out comes a whole CD with a sampling of vocal talents/genuises and fresh music that is extraordinary! Hats off to a job well done! How do they keep doing it?! And Gerald Levert's "A Dream With No Love" is sooo mellow! IT'S ALL GOOD!!!

ALL Thumbs Up!.......2000-10-18

I love this album! The song that caught my eye was track # 7's Dream With No Love by Gerald Levert. I had heard this on the radio and later found out that it was a part of the track from the movie. Gerald Levert has done it again! Such a haunting melody; so smooth; so original!L-O-V-E it! Then I realized all the other tracks are GREAT! LOVE the whole CD!Thank-You!
