Amazon.com Rush Hour 2's mixed bag of prefab sounds seems more like a corporate merger than an artistic effort. The concept: Raid Def Jam's stable of battle-scarred veterans (LL, Scarface) and next-up's (Musiq, Christina Milian), add appearances by some genuinely hot names (Snoop, Jill Scott), throw in a couple of outside-the-genre celebrities (Japanese superstar Hikaru Utada), and--as Nate Dogg croons on "Paper Trippin'"--get to stackin' cheese. Frenzied production can't overcome the overall low-energy vibe. Ludacris's filthy-but-funny "Area Codes" is fairly catchy, as is Meth's Biggie-referenced "Party & Bulls***." Macy Gray helps turn a Slick Rick classic into an interesting big band lullaby, while Jill Scott and Jazz's "Love Again" is little more than a postmodern Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway impersonation. LL's "Crazy Girl" is, hands down, the worst song he's ever done. But here's the good news: Keith Murray's still the most 'beautifullest' thing. Even Rockwilder's synth-based beat can't take the edge off of the Def Squadian's musical reentry. Welcome back, Keith. --Rebecca Levine Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAwful ! icebreakervfx | 01/14/2002 (1 out of 5 stars) "This album is REALLY bad....much of the music is not even on the movie, and two of the best songs that SHOULD be on the album are not !! (Micheal Jackson : Dont stop till you get enough and P. Diddy : I'll be missing you). Wouldn't reccomend even buying this thing used...mine is going to be used for a coaster....or thrown in the trash." Hikki! Well, read me if you like Hikki... icebreakervfx | Washington State | 02/24/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Yes, Hikaru Utada graces this album, and this will be the only basis of this review, unless you want me to give a negative score and read an 8 page essay on why I don't like most of the rest...We now interrupt this review for a News Story...Hikki, or rather the name she likes better in the America biz, Hikaru Utada, has signed a contract with Island Def Jam, a division of Universal Music Group. According to Japanese news sources, Hikaru will apparently record an album and it will be released nationwide.Now back to the review...Anyways, Hikaru Utada becomes the single Asian on this album and sings in English. Unfortunately, this song isn't quite as good as her Japanese works or even her rendition of "Fly Me To The Moon", which was featured on the "Wait & See ~Risk~" single. Her vocals seem faded and behind the music/rapping/background vocals unlike most of her Japanese work. Her vocals also seem weak, unassertive and uninspired as well. As far as I can tell, she didn't write the song either. Overall, this isn't one of the centerpieces of Hikaru's works and this album is not an essential buy for the Hikki fan. I, personally, can only hope that she follows her own path in her music writing, since her abilities are much better than it has been illustrated in this song..." Pretty good: My girl Utada Hikaru iz OFF DA HOOK! Jevar L. Bailey | Spokane, Wa | 11/16/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "The Rush Hour 2 soundtrack is good. There are some real good songs on this album...and there are ones that don't even deserve to be heard. Songs such as "I'm Sorry", "No", "You Make Me Laugh", "Party And Bullsh*t" are all great. I can't help but nod my head to the beats and feel the music. But, like most CD's, It has it's downside. Tracks such as "How's It Gonna Be" and "Keep It Real" should not have made it onto the Album. Even "Area Codes" got played out.But the one song that made me say "WOW!" was Utada Hikaru's "Blow My Whistle". This song is produced by The Neptunes and features Foxy Brown. Of course Foxy's raps are tight. But Hikaru's voice flows perfectly on this song. What is so amazing is that Hikaru generated the most discussion on the album, and she's virtually unknown in the U.S. That, to me, shows a bright future in Utada's U.S. career.3.5 STARS"
