5.0 out of 5 stars
Quality album!, 11 Jun 2003
To be honest, i didn't like the first Fast & Furious film, and I don't know if i'll bother with 2Fast... however, your views of the film should have no influence on your views of the soundtrack.You can tell from the fact that its on Def Jam South and from the music that this album is very much 'Dirty South' influenced music. The first track "Act A Fool" is by one of the film's stars, Ludacris, and is slightly different from his usual work in terms of the beat, but when you listen to it, you realise that his punchline based rhymes are as strong as ever.
Luda pops up again in "Pick Up The Phone" a duet with Tyrese, both produced by and featuring R. Kelly. This song rivals and even betters any song on his recent "Chocolate Factory" album with a lovely bouncy beat and infectious hook. Luda's verse is nice too.
An obvious standout (and maybe the only song to break away from the 'Dirty South' feel) on the album is the up and coming Joe Budden's "Pump It Up". Won't go into it too much as you've probably heard it, but it really is brilliant.
Followed by Dead Prez's "Hell Yeah" where the two politically aware MCs relax and have a bit of fun in the fast-paced Busta Rhymes style of ripping the mic.
Other standout tracks are Trick Daddy "Represent", Lil Flip's "Rollin on 20's" and Jin's "Peel Off". To sum up, whether you like the movie or not, this is gonna be one of the hottest albums for the summer, whether your bumping it in your ride or playing it in your house. Pick it up...FAST!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Set the streets ablaze, 3 Sep 2007
Overview:
"2 Fast 2 Furious(2003)" is the sequel to the movie "The Fast and the Furious(2001)". The movie is primarily set in Miami. Directed by John Singleton, and distributed by Universal Studios, it does not live up to the prequel. John Singleton is fine, but is handicapped by the weak storyline. The Stunt directors and stunt drivers have done a fine job. The adrenaline packed car races are definitely worth the money you spent on the tickets. After Rob Cohen, who directed "The Fast and the Furious" opted out of the sequel , along with Vin Diesel to make the movie "XXX", John Singleton was chosen for the project.
Plot:
The movie is primarily set in Miami. Brian O'Conner is stripped off his job as a cop, for aiding Dominic Toretto( played by Vin Diesel) to get away from the police. He is currently on the run . He comes to Miami and gets into street racing. Once, after winning a street race, he is caught by the police. He negotiates a deal with the Customs department which will erase his police records; if he helps the agents bring down Carter Verone, a drug dealer. He asks his friend Roman Pearce, an ex-con to help. Roman agrees on the condition that he is left clean after the operation. Monica Fuentes, who is a under cover Customs agent in Verone's organization ( she assumes the role of his love interest) helps O'Conner and Pearce. Together they manage to bring down Carter Verone and his organization.
There is nothing noteworthy in the plot . Unlike the prequel, the movie is really handicapped by the weak storyline. We really miss Vin Diesel. Both Paul Walker and Tyrese Gibson have failed to make a mark . The only show stoppers are the beautiful cars and the car races. There are these beautiful american cars like Chevy Corvette, Saleen Mustang, Dodge Viper, Montecarlo which steal the show. There are also the gorgeous imported ones like Mitsubishi Spyder , Nissan Skyline, Honda S2000, Mazda RX-7 .. to name a few. The races are better than in the prequel( where the races were drag races). Here we have great turns and long straight stretches that make the races all the more attractive. The streets of Miami dazzle at night, and the background for the races is just perfect. The Sun in Miami also adds to the beauty of the races during the day. The street races are handled with great expertise.
