Notes: This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Original score composed by Stanley Clarke. Producers: Brian Grazer, Malcolm Lee, Bonnie Greenberg. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. The soundtrack to the amusing blaxploitation parody Undercover Brother wisely keeps it to the classics, adding only three new tracks -- the excellent blaxploitation homage "Undercova Funk (Give Up the Funk)" by Snoop Dogg, the solid Lil' J cut "I Need Luv (2002)," and Stanley Clarke's absolutely brilliant "Theme From Undercover Brother" -- to a set of 11 classic funk and soul songs from the '70s. There are a lot of familiar titles here -- "Pick Up the Pieces," "Brick house," "Play That Funky Music (White Boy)," "Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)," "Love Train," "Ladies Night," etc. -- spiced by just a couple of smaller hits and cult favorites, but the music flows so well, it doesn't matter. This works well as a collection of classic funk and soul, and it offers a perfect aural souvenir of this movie, which makes it arguably the best soundtrack so far of the 2002 summer movie season. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine The soundtrack to 2002's blaxploitation movie spoof UNDERCOVER BROTHER contains a wealth of bell-bottomed, wide-lapeled funk, from Wild Cherry's perennial "Play That Funky Music (White Boy)" to the Mary Jane Girls' "All Night Long" (whose bass line alone has probably launched a million black-light-enhanced seductive endeavors). Though it's impossible to include everyone's period favorites, there's enough on offer here to ensure that no-one will leave unsatisfied. There's James Brown's '60s anthem "Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)," which provides the gritty bedrock truth ("we've been duped, and we've been scorned...") beneath all the ironic comedy, Gil Scott Heron's incendiary, if mistaken, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," and Carl Carlton's excellent, rarely heard "She's a Bad Mama Jama (She's Built, She's Stacked)," whose salivating lyric obviously predates political correctness by several millennia. The usual suspects such as Kool And The Gang's "Ladies' Night" and the Commodores' "Brick House" are here too, naturally, and with more contemporary artistes such as Snoop Dogg and Lil'J to give the whole project some kind of historical framework, UNDERCOVER BROTHER is either an hour's worth of musical history or a mini groovefest, depending on your inclination.
