Amazon.co.uk Review
Rush Hour 2's mixed bag of pre-fab sounds seems more like a corporate merger than an artistic effort. The concept: raid Def Jam's stable of battle-scarred veterans (LL, Scarface) and next-ups (Musiq, Christina Milian), add appearances by some genuinely hot names (Snoop, Jill Scott), throw in a couple of outside-the-genre celebrities (Japanese superstar Hikaru Utada) and--as Nate Dogg croons on "Paper Trippin'"--get to stackin' cheese. Frenzied production can't overcome the overall low-energy vibe. Ludacris's filthy-but-funny "Area Codes" is fairly catchy, as is Meth's Biggie-referenced "Party & Bulls***". Macy Gray helps turn a Slick Rick classic into an interesting big band lullaby, while Jill Scott and Jazz's "Love Again" is little more than a post-modern Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway impersonation. LL's "Crazy Girl" is, hands-down, the worst song he's ever done. But here's the good news: Keith Murray's still the most beautiful thing. Even Rockwilder's synth-based beat can't take the edge off of the Def Squadian's musical re-entry. Welcome back, Keith. --Rebecca Levine
