CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Hip-hop's favorite old soul has come up with a clever concept--a movie soundtrack that actually references the film it supports. Similar to what James Brown achieved with his work on the classic blaxploitation flick Black Caesar, Cali king Snoop Dogg has crafted a richly atmospheric piece that complements its cinematic counterpart, yet successfully exists as a separate entity. Unlike many hip-hop-oriented movie soundtracks, there are no lazy performances to be found here. Everyone puts in a good effort, but Bones is really Snoop's show. The CD, featuring Kurupt, Cypress Hill, D-12, and Bad Azz, among others, tells the story of Jimmy Bones, a neighborhood legend who has returned from the dead to wreak vengeance on his murderers. The opening track, "Birth of Jimmy Bones," is a moody spoken-word intro that allows Snoop's '70s-styled macked-out persona to shine, and "Jimmy's Revenge," a smoothed riff on James Brown's "Big Payback," invites further comparison between the original Godfather of Soul and rap's reigning Doggfather. --Rebecca Levine Similar CDs

CD ReviewsGreat Soundtrack for a Great Movie Rusty | 11/12/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Bones soundtrack is fantastic. Snoop Dogg put together a great blend of music for this conceptual album. Aside from Snoop Dogg; Kurupt, MC Ren, XZIBIT, D-12, Latoya Williams, Kokane, Doggy's Angels, Bad Azz, Eastsidaz, and more make appearances on the compilation. The CD is one of the most innovative titles of the year and is worth the cash." Outstanding modogg | Swindon, Wiltshire United Kingdom | 12/11/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "'Bones' confirms Snoop's strength as an executive producer. He is right up there with Dre and Puff Daddy. This is an outstanding album, with both variety and continuity, every song is good. It is unlikely that anyone else could put together a soundtrack that stands alone as an album to rival any other west coast album. Snoop has the very best west coast producers (Fredwreck, Battlecat, Meech Wells) and rappers (Tha Eastsidaz, Kurupt, RBX, Kokane, Nate, MC Ren, Xzibit, Butch Cassidy, Sugarfree, Supafly etc.) at his disposal. Dogghouse Records is the new Death Row, only better." Snoop keeps lettin me down Jacob Hanks | Ka0TicOn3 | 02/26/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "This CD was a let down after I finished listening to it. The best tracks are ones without Snoop. There are around four good ones. Man, I'm getting tired of Snoop's [not good] monotonous production and generic beats. Don't get me wrong, everyone else who ryhmes on this disaster is dope and credible. If they don't have the tools to work with than what can be expected. Snoop only shines on Dre's cuts, well because the instrumental is so off the hook that you can stand Snoop! When I was a teenager Doggystyle was the dope and is now a classic. What happened to that Snoop? For real, unless you are a hardcore snoop fan you might want to reconsider this album. Why do I keep buying Snoop CD's?!?"
