Baadasssss is right
4 Sep 2002
Format:Audio CD
You really shouldn't be reading this review, you should be in your car right now on your way to buy this CD. This isn't just a sampling of some of the best music from 70s black cinema, it's a collection of songs that transcends its time and genre. It has not aged, it is not dated, it is simply great music. Period. And some of the coolest, funkiest, socially aware music you could possibly ever own on one CD. You have only to listen to this to realize just how sterile and one-dimensional today's soul and R&B music has become. Oh, and dig the cover artwork--it just doesn't get any more baadasssss than that!

What's Old Is New Again.
18 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
"Baadasssss Cinema" compiles soundtrack hits from the blaxploitation movies of the 1970s, and it literally transplants you to the era where Pam Grier and Fred Williamson ruled the silver screen in all their glory. I'd hate to pick a favorite song off a collection this stellar, but for me, the winner is the groovilicious "Coffy Is the Color" taken from the 1973 revenge fantasy "Coffy." Other main attractions are James Brown's "People Get Up and Drive Your Funky Soul," Curtis Mayfield's "Pusherman" from "Superfly," and the closer Earth Wind and Fire's "Sweetback's Theme" from Melvin Van Peebles debut film. Frankly, the mere fact that the tracklisting has EWF, James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, WAR, and BT Express should be enough reason for you to get this disc. What's more, these songs have apparently been digitally remastered, so the sound quality is better than what we've heard previously. An absolute must-have for any music collector or admirer of the old school.

Very good sampling from a bygone era
2 May 2008
Format:Audio CD
Great, great compilation. It has "Sweetback's Theme" by Earth, Wind, and Fire! What else do you need? One of James Brown's most underappreciated songs? Got it! William DeVaughn's one-hit wonder? It's there! Arguably Curtis Mayfield's definitive masterpiece? There too! Stop looking and just buy it.
