Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps Soundtrack CD

Just because a movie is a comedy doesn’t mean that the music accompanying it is a joke. No, often the opposite is true. You don’t need music upstaging the actors. What if it gets more laughs? So the sequel to the Nutty Professor features an all-star cast of R&B and hip-hop stars who do the serious stuff best. The smooth R&B tracks are offset by ferocious hip-hop grooves, creating a constantly shifting scene of alternating moods. Just as sentimentality hits its peak with Case’s “Missing You,” things are seriously shaken up by Method Man’s “Even If.” Sometimes the extremes seem a but much. Do Brian McKnight fans want to share time with Sisqo (featuring Foxy Brown) and Eminem (here with Redman), and vice versa? This may be a case where hearing it all in the context of the movie would help listeners make the less-than-obvious connections. As a special enticement, the final track is a preview from the new LL Cool J album, G.O.A.T. –Rob O’Connor Product description Nutty Professor ~ Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps
