Third World Cop is already the highest-grossing theatrical release in Jamaican movie history. While it remains to be seen how the follow-up to Dancehall Queen and the spiritual descendant of the classic The Harder They Come will fare elsewhere, it won't suffer from lack of a soundtrack. Music is integral to Jamaican culture, and heavy hitters such as Sly & Robbie (the infamous Riddim Twins) ensure that Third World Cop's grooves aren't third-rate knockoffs. Beenie Man comes out firing. Young reggae singer Luciano tackles the Junior Murvin classic "Police & Thieves." In between is what convincingly could be called gangsta reggae, tracks where authority is questioned and resistance encouraged. The Caribbean grooves are not limited by tradition, either. Innocent Crew are contemporary DJs and singers who accent dub with shots of pure hip-hop. The Marley Brothers update the '70s classic "Call the Police" with fresh raps. --Rob O'Connor

5 out of 5 stars Dancehall tunes for a fresh Selecta.......2000-10-29

Third World Cop as a movie follows all the cliches of Jamaican cinema. It is short on plot and long on violence. But it has a great soundtrack. The majority of the music here is produced by Sly and Robie. They provide an intro, a score, and an instrumental. "Softcore Surge" has a pinch of latin and jungle influence thrown in. Sly and Robie make the beats for most of the vocal tracks. Included are two bubblegum reggae pop songs, "Dungle Boogy" with Beenie Man, and "Police and Thieves" by Luciano. There are quite a few great tracks that sound good without being cheesy. "Fake Names", "Soca Noma", and "Call The Police" all have catchy choruses and skilled rapping. The only bizarre song he is "Man a Bad Man" which has some terrible female toasting. Overral this is an incredible disc. The music here accurately represents whats up in tha Janaican scene right now.
