You Got Served Soundtrack
Common Sense Media says
B2K and friends serve up a mediocre medley.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that B2K can't seem to decide whether to be a schmaltzy boy band or a scary street gang, but this makes for an interesting soundtrack CD. Mild by current standards, there's a bit of sexual innuendo and a disturbing word or two.
What's the story?
It's been hard to avoid the advance buzz about this ever-so-slightly edgy boy band's film debut in "You Got Served." B2K gives some fine performances in the YOU GOT SERVED SOUNDTRACK, which is carefully and lovingly produced. There's predictable self-congratulatory macho posturing. Yet in the context of lively, infectious dance tracks, lyrics like "Get a drink and your Movah, after that we gonna get to the (Range) Rovuh" or "Turn around, make it bounce, shake it like you come from out of town...Mami I'm just tryin' to get you in my room, and see that big badabing go badaboom" can seem sporty and even cute.
Is it any good?
The CD's ballads are well-performed but formulaic, offering no surprises. With a little help from friends like Lil' Kim, Fabulous, Rufus Black, XSO Drive featuring Red Cafe, and M.O.P. featuring Funkmaster Flex, the boys in B2K deliver a pleasant and occasionally wonderful soundtrack album.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about how the music and movie go hand-in-hand. How do you think the movie benefits from the kind of music chosen for the soundtrack? Does it take away from the movie at all? Also, does a good soundtrack make you want to see the movie or make a movie better?

YOU GOT SERVED- B2k
The band B2k recently split up after the release of their hit movie and CD YOU GOT SERVED. Granted the CD is a token of commericialism for the movie, but it is very cool and original. Also unexpectedly, the queen of Sex rap Lil' Kim does a great job on "Do Dat Thang"

I have no wrong feelings of this....I love B2K
Why y'all trying to bring them down? Just because they're teenagers doesn't mean that you can think bad about them--b2k is the bomb and i wish they got back together and made some more songs that i could dance to. The person you really need to be looking at is rappers like lil jon and listen to stuff like that (get low) thats something i dont wanna hear.......lol naw but im serious though.....
