Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
whats with the jewell hate? "harvest for the world" was easily the best r&b cut on MWTC. she merked that remake. powerful music.
that jodeci song was meh just like most of jodeci's uptempos. if im short on time, i flat out skip that track.
the soundtrack version of that snoop joint is over-produced. many agree. i like it, but the doggystyle version is fresher.
I'm a fan of Jewell but both her songs were completely out of place on that soundtrack. Of the 5 R&B cuts, hers were the two worst on that album.
As far as MWTC, the version that appears on the soundtrack is the version the majority of Hip-Hop fans know and like. It has a darker feel and fits with the vibe of the Soundtrack. It's another example of Dre polishing a track and taking it to the next level. It was also a lot more consistent since the bulk of the album was produced by DJ Quik, Daz, and Dre (all three at or close to their primes).
