Free Music Notes for Dave Chappelle's Block Party
Free Music Review: Ya Gotta Love It!
Hit: 4 Stars
Dead Prez, Jilly from Philly, Erykah Badu,Mos Def, Talib Kwali, Common, Bilial, Roots Crew, I mean you can't go wrong. The jazzy rendition of Jill's delivery was extra special and the new Black Star contribution was awesome. I was also disappointed by the exclusion of the Fugees track which I think was a draw to purchase this CD, if I had known it would not included I might have waited on the DVD and it is why this rating is not 5. Nevertheless, I am impressed and satisfied because of there efforts to save the substance of the genre we call hip from RAP. I will always love and respect Badu for "Back in the Day" because of it's smooth delivery, so underground.Free Music Review: Average sound quality; superior music
Hit: 4 Stars
Like most reviewers, I was disappointed by the lack of Fugees and Kanye West and the sound quality. However, I've got to agree with the reviewers who liked the album/DVD for what is included. I'm a 38-year-old white woman who dismissed all rap as misogynisitic, violence inciting, and just plain vulgar. This DVD and soundtrack have opened my eyes to the really creative hip-hop that is out there. I went out and bought not just this CD, but also CDs from The Roots, Badu, and Mos Def. (Imagine the clerk's confusion when included in the pile were CDs from the Dixie Chicks, Dwight Yoakam, Calexico, and Nina Simone!)Free Music Review: Hearing Dead Prez Perform Hip Hop Live With The Roots Makes This a Must have Album in 2006!!!

Free Music Review: Dave Chappelle Throws A Party
Hit: 4 Stars
The soundtrack to Dave Chappelle's Block Party with hip hop acts that put on great live performances. The Roots are the stars of the album with some first rate songs including the amazing "You Got Me" that has both Erykah Badu (who sang on the original) and the flawless Jill Scott (who co-wrote the song) and "Boom" with a great teaming of hip hop pioneers Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap. Mos Def and Talib Kweli reunite as Blackstar and perform some solo songs. Not all the artist from the event are included on the album most notably Kanye West and The Fugees who reunited for the event.Free Music Review: Great Songs but lots of excess talk
Hit: 4 Stars
I love all the songs on the album, I bought this after first watching the movie...It contains all the best hip hop/soul artists there that were involved but the one thing is that about each track has extra talk before or after the song actually plays...such as a few mins of dave chappelle and other music artists just chatting on the phone on 3 way or 4 way, it's really nonsense but you have to wait through it until the music/song actually starts...that's what I don't like about the album.
