From Amazon.com
The coming-of-age angle in the sports romance movie Love & Basketball is played up by this sharp soundtrack album. The music ranges from Al Green's eternal "Love and Happiness" to galvanizing late-'80s rap classics (Rob Base's "It Takes Two," MC Lyte's "Lyte as a Rock") to some of the best new-school R&B. Angie Stone takes Simply Red's calling card "Holding Back the Years" to church and then back to her softly lit pad, while alt hip-hoppers Black Eyed Peas team with Les Nubians for the atmospheric "Complete Beloved." The disc also boasts the welcome return of ex-Tony! Toni! Tone! frontman Raphael Saadiq with his new partners Dawn Robinson (formerly of En Vogue) and one-time Tribe Called Quest member Ali Shaheed Muhammad in the band Lucy Pearl. Their "Dance Tonight" is a spirited jam that no doubt plays well in the movie--and definitely does out of it. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews

What I thought as a teen...
Well in order to have a good soundtrack, has to be based and written with a good movie.When I saw the actually video I had to absoultely get the music. If i were you i would buy the CD and share it with somebody special for that special occasion. It's a great CD to have and to own...but its better if you had the movie to go with it.

Love & Basketball
This is an excellent soundtrack! As I listened the disc easily took me back & forth from past to present with new artists and music mixed with a good balance of "ol skool joints". Sometimes soundtracks add songs that had absolutely nothing to do with the movie, but not this one - every song on the disc was in the movie.

The standout song to me is "Fool of Me" by MeShell Ndegeocello and let me tell you, I searched high and low for this cd before finally finding the last copy in a record store JUST FOR THIS SONG!

Like a star bright in the sky
I really like this movie because of what it contain. The conflicts between monica and q are so real, I also like tha fact that the director realated this movie to basketball. I'm a basketball player and I love how it all turn out. Sanna is my favorite actress of them all, and I love all her movies she as done and will do in the furture.
