Fave Blaxploitation Movie Soundtrack? I've always enjoyed these type of films for some reason and I like the music from these types of movies even better. My faves:
I love this soundtrack especially, James did the damn thing ! "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

I have several blaxploitation films such as "Blacula", "Superfly", "Coffy", etc. I don't have any of the soundtracks though. I remember "Superfly" had the best music though".
However, as far as modern ones, there was a film in the early 2000s that was called "American Pimp". If that movie had a soundtrack, that would definately be the best. All throughout that movie, they were playing songs by Curtis Mayfield, Con Funk Shun, Brick, Slave, etc. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Soundtrack link http://www.cduniverse.com...+Truth.htm [Edited 11/15/07 23:18pm] I can't see that link but that sounds like it. It was a documentary. It also featured an ex-pimp turned preacher that was named The Bishop. He had a perm, always wore green, and drove a green Cadillac. He was also in a previous documentary called "Pimps Up, Ho's Down". I love my pimp and whore movies. Andy is a four letter word. | |

] Well yeah "Claudine" doesn't really fit into that genre, but it was one of the first soundtracks that popped into my head for some reason when I was making my list but oh well, too late to change it now. Still a great soundtrack though but I agree with you about "Foxy Brown". I love that soundtrack (and the movie also). "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

I'm pretty sure there is a soundtrack to that movie. Haven't seen the film or heard the soundtrack in a while though but I remember the title song pretty well which I absolutely love. The movie is great 2! "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ

The Makings Of You was Gladys Knight's tour-de-force moment and the BEST rendition of that song
Even though this ain't Blaxploitation either..... 
Does anybody remember this OST,,,or even the MOVIE? | |

My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |
