Music Review: Step Up 2: The Streets Soundtrack
What Parents Should Know
Parents need to know that this soundtrack contains edited
versions of the original songs, so there is virtually no vulgar
language other than a "damn" here and there. There is, however,
several instances of sexual lyrics and talk about the club
scene.
Families can talk about the popularity and success of movie
soundtracks. Does a good soundtrack make you want to see the
movie, or does it make a movie better? Do you think it is
beneficial for movie studios to use big-name artists, or is it
more about the music simply fitting the image and story of the
movie?
STEP UP 2: THE STREETS is the sequel to the dance battle movie Step Up . For all those urban dance fanatics, the soundtrack is a worthy compilation. It features two new Missy Elliott songs, the uber-popular single "Low" by Flo Rida, and recent hits from Trey Songz, Akon, Plies, Cupid, and more.
Get ready to "Shake your Pom Pom" when you pop in this CD. Even if you aren't a fan of this type of music, you can't help but get into the groove with the booty-boppin' beats and dance rhythms that make up the soundtrack. Most of the songs are indeed about dancing and gettin' down oh so "low low low low." There's the popular, bumpin' tracks like "Low" and Cupid's "369," as well as the slow, grinding grooves found in heartthrob Enrique Iglesias' "Push" and Cassie's sweet and innocent airy pop in "Is it You."
