Details: Amazon.ca The plot of Black Mask revolves around a group of superhuman fighters (the 701 Squad) who feel no pain; Jet Li, the renegade good guy, must defeat the rest of his former comrades. Similarly, the soundtrack for the film is filled with a host of hip-hop tracks with little feeling invested; the few renegades here are those who invest something in their songs, but they’re greatly outnumbered. Our heroes include DITC (Digging in the Crates), whose « Get Yours » could have fit in with the classic funky tracks on the Brand New Heavies’ Heavy Rhyme Experience: Vol. 1 compilation; Natural Elements, who bring an underground flow to « Live It Up »; Council, who are nice and smooth on « We’re on Top of Thangs »; and Screwball, who makes good use of the DJ Premier-produced « F.A.Y.B.A.N. » Everlast’s cameo is nothing to write home about, though, and neither is this soundtrack. Let’s hope Jet Li fares better in the film. –Randy Silver
