Any Given Sunday, Oliver Stone's epic look at the world of professional football, features a soundtrack with aggressive rap and rock tunes from artists like Goodie Mob, Outkast, Godsmack, DMX, and Sevendust. Two of the film's stars, Jamie Foxx and LL Cool J, contribute tracks: Foxx teams up with Guru and Common on the movie's title track, while LL Cool J performs "Shut Em Down." Hole's "Be a Man," Missy Elliot's "Who You Gonna Call," Kid Rock's "F**k That," Mystikal's "Jump," and Mobb Deep's "Never Goin' Back" are among the highlights of Any Given Sunday, a macho collection that may not reflect the film accurately but will please fans of pumped-up rock and hip-hop. ~ Heather Phares So Oliver Stone has focused his subtle-as-Lawrence-Taylor-on-a-blindside-rush directorial style on the bone-crunching, hard-living, fast-paced world of professional football. That there would be a heavy-hitting soundtrack to accompany the film was about as inevitable as hearing "Rock & Roll Part 2" in a stadium or arena. For ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, the powers that be have put together a heady if predictable lineup of hip-hop and harder-edged rockers for a solid soundtrack to the Christmas, 1999 flick. To the soundtrack producers' credit, instead of just picking out the most hard-nosed rappers in order to compliment the sport presented, they took talent into account and selected an outstanding array of artists. From the formidable Atlanta pairing of Outkast and Goodie Mob on "Sole Sunday" to the reliably poppy-yet-powerful turn of one of the movie's stars--LL Cool J on "Shut 'Em Down" (no, not the PE tune)--there really is no weak track; even Jamie Foxx makes good (aided by Guru and Common) on the title track. The rock side is best represented by the soundtrack's lead single, Hole's driving "Be a Man," a song good enough to have stood out on the group's highly acclaimed CELEBRITY SKIN.
