desertcart.com Give thanks to the folks behind Training Day for aiming a little higher on the musical food chain and actually putting together a collection that has more beef than filler. The meat is represented by an eclectic array of talent--everyone from underground champs Gang Starr to P. Diddy, whose hook-up with David Bowie's "American Dream" bites off more than it can spit out. On the plus side, there's "Put It on Me," an X-rated G-funk romp from Dr. Dre and DJ Quick; a fiery remake of N.W.A.'s "F*** tha Police" (now called "Watch the Police") by C-Murder and Trick Daddy; and "Wolves," a snarling, take-no-prisoners salvo from street dawgs M.O.P. Hip-hop's golden child Nelly checks in with "#1," a more-rugged-than-usual shout-out to the glory of success, while Pharoahe Monch's rock-stoked "F*** You" shines a light on this oft-overlooked wordsmith. In short, a veritable feast for ravenous rap fans that feels more like music than product. --Amy Linden Review: Five Stars - My favorite movie! Review: Some Good Music, and a Little Good Symphonic Music - This review is specifically about the 'cleanliness' of this Clean version of the Training Day soundtrack. If you are a father or mother, or would like to avoid having to hear cursing yourself, you may wish to know that the editing of this disc ranges from just okay to pretty poor. Among others words that should have been removed but remain in the songs anyway include one blasphemy, a**, h***, and d***, plus several times a lyric with the 'f' word in it (or mother f******) is edited to remove the last letters, while leaving the sound of the 'f'--i.e., your mind thinks the word anyway. What's up with that? How is that clean as advertised? I solved these problems by ripping the disc's songs as WAV files on my computer and editing the offending tracks better. But I shouldn't have to do that. Just a word to the wise for those who care.
