Review

With a mix of "street" attitude and squeaky-clean boy-band style, B2K serve up the soundtrack for their film debut on You Got Served. Centered around urban dance competitions, the film's soundtrack features more of the R&B balladry and hip-hop dance tracks that served B2K well on their first two albums. Still reminiscent of Jodeci and Craig David, B2K triumph over their somewhat generic image with songs that mix catchy beats and lyrics with concrete, realistic sentiments. To these ends, "Sprung" is a savvy love song about falling for an older woman in which B2K opine "Baby, it's official/I'm tired of lookin' at you on my window/I peep you when you're coming home from work with your high heels on/Louis Vuitton, girl you got it going on." Similarly involving is the dancefloor-ready "Do That Thing," which finds Lil' Kim and the boys ripping into a funky tango beat and proclaiming "Get a drink and your Mova/After that we gonna get to the (Range) Rovuh." Indeed. Add in Fabolous, Rufus Blaq, M.O.P., and other guest artists who make the most of their time, and You Got Served -- to paraphrase track ten -- certainly "smellz like a party." ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
