Buy this CD!,

What the Amazon reviewer mistakes for "schizophrenic" is actually the strength of this disk...it's diversity. This isn't your little brother's soundtrack CD full of poppy little tunes or rap or hard rock that all sounds the same. I'm not ususally a fan of R&B performers like Kelly Price or K-Ci and Jo Jo but the songs they perform as well as the smooth hip-hop artistry of Black Star and Gil Heron Scotts classic "The Revolution will not be Televised" speak to the heart of the man and the movie. Each track reflects a different part of Hurrican's life. This one is a keeper...

Well, the only reason why I had bought the CD was obviously for the Bob Dylan song. What I found was that the other songs were incredibly well put together. Yes there is hip hop and rap, but it isn't hardcore rap. A lot of the songs are incredibly chill and inspiring. It is a great mix of old and new. I especially love the JazzyFatnastees' I don't know and Etta James' In the Basement. This CD is a must buy.

I can't stop listening to this CD. When I wake up, as I clean house, even as I fall asleep. The best song is by far,"Still I rise". I have never heard of most of the artist before, but have fallen in love with all the songs. I admit, I bought it for the Bob Dylan tune, but now I don't even listen to that track as much as the others. At any rate, if you like folk, or gospel type music, you'll love this CD.
