Review

Entertainment Weekly (11/4/94, p.77) - "...The nuggets on this uplifting soundtrack outnumber the generic gangsta rap and R. Kelly-style schmaltz, from B.M.U.'s smooth thumping gospel to the neck-snapping hip hop of the female Five Footer Crew/G Funk Era..." - Rating: B
Vibe (11/94, p.128) - "...To hear the ongoing moral and musical relationships between the different genres and styles is to realize, for the umpteenth time, that hip hop has a past, and that past has a future..."
The Source (12/94, p.82) - "...filled with quality efforts from numerous pro's in the field of R&B and hip-hop...kicks off with Black Men United, a collaboration of Black male R&B singers [that is] a once in a lifetime event that will be hard to duplicate ever again..."

Where many of the soundtracks to movies about contemporary black culture tend to emphasize the new jack aspects of today's sounds, the songs which make up JASON'S LYRICS portray a much richer vision of inner city life.

That's because this tale of inner city brothers whose father has been killed--one caught up in the gangsta life, the other trying to stay on the straight and narrow--summons up a more complex web of human emotions and urban characters. Thus the range of music represented here, while steeped in the new jack conventions of modern hip-hop, establishes a solid set of connections with the foundation of modern black music: gospel, blues and soul.

Thus you have the spiritual epilogue of Oleta Adams' "Many Rivers To Cross," and the gospel-inflected overture of "U Will Know" by B.M.U., with its Southern soul groove, all-star contemporary cast and unyielding positivity. "If Trouble Was Money" (by Mint Condition and the late blues guitarist Albert Collins) and "This City Needs Help" (by guitarist Buddy Guy) match contemporary soul balladry to powerful traditional blues forms, while on "Nigga Sings The Blues," Spice declaims a powerful double-time rap over soulful strings, wah-wah guitar and juke joint organ. But by contrast, "First Round Draft Pick" (from The Twinz/G Funk Era) and "Brothers And Sistas" (by Jayo Felony) contrast soft focus West Coast backgrounds against dark, fatalistic rhapsodies in blue.
