Product Description The soundtrack to the film RUSH HOUR bears an appropriately urgent, urban tone, consisting as it does of hot tracks by contemporary hip-hop and R&B artists. While this album is fairly eclectic, covering several bases of the rap world, it doesn't have the opportunistic, thrown-together feel that many hip-hop-based soundtracks do. The track selection seems carefully considered and RUSH HOUR flows like an album, not like a bunch of disparate pieces stuck together to fill up space. From Wu-Tang's "And You Don't Stop" to the smooth R&B of Jon B.'s "Glad That We Loved" and Too Short's unapologetic "Tell the Feds," RUSH HOUR keeps your ears and feet at attention.
A pairing as full of comedic possibilities as Rush Hour's Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker needs a soundtrack that will exploit their personalities, with Tucker playing the big-city wise guy and Chan the self-deprecating clown. In mixing urban grooves and Eastern melodies, Lalo Schifrin's score compliments the stars perfectly. The main title sets the stage with a pounding rhythm that provides the background for distorted guitars playing an Oriental theme. "Soo Yung's Abduction"'s requisite foreboding string figures contrast with the '70s cop show horns and funky bass of "Lee Arrives In L.A." The mix is most potent on "Jumping the Bus" where traditional Oriental melodies give way to a loose fusion groove. In his mastery over both styles and his ability to effortlessly combine them, Schifrin has once again proven himself one of the most effective film composers of his era. This CD comes with a parental advisory for explicit content.
