With a mix of "street" attitude and squeaky-clean boy-band style, B2K serve up the soundtrack for their film debut on You Got Served. Centered around urban dance competitions, the film's soundtrack features more of the R&B balladry and hip-hop dance tracks that served B2K well on their first two albums. Still reminiscent of Jodeci and Craig David, B2K triumph over their somewhat generic image with songs that mix catchy beats and lyrics with concrete, realistic sentiments. To these ends, "Sprung" is a savvy love song about falling for an older woman in which B2K opine "Baby, it's official/I'm tired of lookin' at you on my window/I peep you when you're coming home from work with your high heels on/Louis Vuitton, girl you got it going on." Similarly involving is the dancefloor-ready "Do That Thing," which finds Lil' Kim and the boys ripping into a funky tango beat and proclaiming "Get a drink and your Mova/After that we gonna get to the (Range) Rovuh." Indeed. Add in Fabolous, Rufus Blaq, M.O.P., and other guest artists who make the most of their time, and You Got Served -- to paraphrase track ten -- certainly "smellz like a party." ~ Matt Collar Teen group B2K apparently burned bright and brief, scoring their first hit in 2002 and announcing their split in the first days of 2004. However, they go out in full blaze, starring with Marques Houston in the hip-hop-dreams/dance-contest movie YOU GOT SERVED. The foursome also logically provide the bulk of the film's infectious soundtrack--a collection of danceable, sensual rap-infused R&B songs born to fuel epic battles on the dance-floor, cut by the requisite slow jams. The soundtrack opens with the hook-laden, hit-single bound "Badaboom," featuring an ace guest shot from Fabolous. Lil' Kim drops by, full of sound and fury, on the deftly produced and spellbinding "Do That Thing," before B2K crunks out with another angle on the Lil' Jon-led rap movement, as they "Take It to the Floor." The following three ballads remind the listener of the versatility of the young collective, and the remainder of the record is highlighted by a sweet old-school ballad by Houston, "Smile," and M.O.P.'s captivatingly dirty "Ante Up." However, YOU GOT SERVED primarily serves as a fitting final act from a talented bunch of nascent hit-makers.
