Honey

Anyone who cares about the state of beats will want this soundtrack companion to the Jessica Alba-starring hip-hop saga. The inventiveness of rhythm and sound on Honey’s first half dozen or so tracks makes for its own drama and should even provide some hope to those who bemoan the genre's recent lack of boundary pushing. Missy Elliott’s "Hurt Sumthin'" is a fitting start to the CD; it’s another of her and Timbaland’s forays into minor-key funk-exotica and a match for anything on her own albums. Rodney Jerkins’ setting for Blaque’s independent-women manifesto "I’m Good" stomps its percussive way to the top of the must-play list, while further offerings from Mark Ronson (with guests including Ghostface Killah) and the duo of Erick Sermon and Redman keep the progressive-party feel going. The disc’s second half winds down into more standard-issue ballad fare, but even then, the flow feels correct - a natural winding down from what the first sizzling cuts began. --Rickey Wright Amazon.com

a good album

but I still feel like I am missing some of the best songs, so I hope that the record label has a honey 2, in store, for all of us who fell we missed out on the other great music, that is included on the film itself. August 24, 2007

Not bad

Not as good as I had hoped, but I'm not a big rap/hiphop fan either. The last song made it worthwhile. May 12, 2007

Cool Songs - Some missing

I loved this movie. I loved the music and I thought everyone did a great job. However this album misses out one very important song.
What is that song which is played when Honey says she has a new song from the Overdrive?
It is a great song and I wish it was included on the album.
The other one which should have been included was Honey's first coreography (excuse the spelling). When she sees the people playing basketball and puts that in the dance.
Otherwise this is a great soundtrack (and a great movie). January 31, 2006

WOW!

Now I do love this music soooo much! The songs have great beats and are really dance-able... However:

The best songs on the Film aren't actually on this CD!
I searched day-in and day-out looking for "Ginuwine - Hot" and I've only just found it but it would have been easier to just include the track on the CD.

But if you are looking for a CD with amazing Beats to dance to or whatever get this CD!!! November 29, 2005
