Details: Amazon.ca Hip-hop's favorite old soul has come up with a clever concept--a movie soundtrack that actually references the film it supports. Similar to what James Brown achieved with his work on the classic blaxploitation flick Black Caesar, Cali king Snoop Dogg has crafted a richly atmospheric piece that complements its cinematic counterpart, yet successfully exists as a separate entity. Unlike many hip-hop-oriented movie soundtracks, there are no lazy performances to be found here. Everyone puts in a good effort, but Bones is really Snoop's show. The CD, featuring Kurupt, Cypress Hill, D-12, and Bad Azz, among others, tells the story of Jimmy Bones, a neighborhood legend who has returned from the dead to wreak vengeance on his murderers. The opening track, "Birth of Jimmy Bones," is a moody spoken-word intro that allows Snoop's '70s-styled macked-out persona to shine, and "Jimmy's Revenge," a smoothed riff on James Brown's "Big Payback," invites further comparison between the original Godfather of Soul and rap's reigning Doggfather. --Rebecca Levine Product description Bones ~ Bones - Original Motion Picture
