If they put the Barbershop 2 soundtrack out with only the first three tracks and nothing else, it would still be an essential collection of urban beats and you'd still be a sucker if you didn't pick it up. The empowering "Not Today" is a home run for Mary J. Blige, Eve, and producer Dr. Dre while Mya's coy "Fallen" gets winningly roughed up in a remix. Sleepy Brown's loopy "I Can't Wait" tops them all with absolutely stellar lyrics ("You're a Tyner/Meaning the real McCoy") while OutKast's guest spot shows their Midas touch is still in effect. The Clipse's vacant cut screws up the flow, but the collection recovers with Keyshia Cole's smoky interpolation of Luther on "Never." Some killer tracks by Mya and Sean Paul, Floetry, Olivia, and Morgan Smith are dispersed throughout the disc's second half, and they're surrounded by cuts that are almost as worthy. The hilarious bits of dialogue that opened and closed the first movie's soundtrack are unfortunately gone, making the whole collection feel like a slick mixtape you'd have a hard time topping. It'll take you forever to stop playing the opening triple threat, but the rest of Barbershop 2 only needs a little trimming. ~ David Jeffries In urban communities, the barbershop, equal parts business and tradition, has come to represent hope, promise, history and people coming together. A surprise hit movie during the summer of 2002, BARBERSHOP, captured that spirit with a sweet, smart script that shone new light on the age-old story of a quirky community that squabbles but bands together when faced with difficulty. The film's sequel finds all of the major cast members (including Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer) returning, with the addition of Oscar nominee Queen Latifah. The soundtrack for BARBERSHOP 2: BACK IN BUSINESS, features a cross-section of the best R&B and hip-hop has to offer, from the dark "gangsta" stylings of G-Unit to the intellectual neo-soul of Floetry & Mos Def to the classic R&B of Ashford & Simpson as covered by Avant & Keke Wyatt. The collection also boasts many impressive new artists; of particular note is Twista-style rapper Spitfiya who is joined by the crooning of the very able Anthony Hamilton on "Make It Home," and Southern shooting-star Sleepy Brown, backed by Outkast on "I Can't Wait."
