The Black-Teen Soundtrack of The Decade!

"If you bought one soundtrack from the 90's it had to be the soundtrack of House Party! Not only was the film incredibly popular but the soundtrack produced the hits " Why You Getting Funky On Me ", also the theme of House Party from Kid n Play and hits from Public Enemy, The Jungle Boys and Full Force. This is one of the most entertaining albums of the 90's. If you're into old school rap and don't mind listening to songs from a bunch of people who don't perform anymore, get this album. It's even better than the movie."
A Great Soundtrack - But Buyer Beware!

"The Good News: The soundtrack to House Party will instantly take you back to 1990, when parties were about dancing to good music. The 80's and 90's were about remembering certain periods of our life by the songs that were big at the time, and this soundtrack has jam after jam reminding us of that era. The soundtrack is more than worth the cost just for the "Surely" jam by Arts & Crafts (cue Groove "I'm getting those digits").
The Bad News: One of the hottest tracks from the movie ISN'T on the soundtrack! The most memorable scene of the movie is inarguably the dance battle between Kid 'N Play and the ladies, set to the classic "Aint My Type of Hype" by Full Force (who also appear in the movie as Stab, Pee Wee and Zilla). I would suggest this CD to anyone who enjoyed the movie, but just know in advance that "Aint My Type of Hype" does not appear on the soundtrack for some strange reason."
