Amazonレビュー Rush Hour 2’s mixed bag of pre-fab sounds seems more like a corporate merger than an artistic effort. The concept: raid Def Jam’s stable of battle-scarred veterans (LL， Scarface) and next-ups (Musiq， Christina Milian)， add appearances by some genuinely hot names (Snoop， Jill Scott)， throw in a couple of outside-the-genre celebrities (Japanese superstar Hikaru Utada) and--as Nate Dogg croons on ＂Paper Trippin’＂--get to stackin’ cheese. Frenzied production can’t overcome the overall low-energy vibe. Ludacris’s filthy-but-funny ＂Area Codes＂ is fairly catchy， as is Meth’s Biggie-referenced ＂Party & Bulls***＂. Macy Gray helps turn a Slick Rick classic into an interesting big band lullaby， while Jill Scott and Jazz’s ＂Love Again＂ is little more than a post-modern Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway impersonation. LL’s ＂Crazy Girl＂ is， hands-down， the worst song he’s ever done. But here’s the good news: Keith Murray’s still the most beautiful thing. Even Rockwilder’s synth-based beat can’t take the edge off of the Def Squadian’s musical re-entry. Welcome back， Keith. --Rebecca Levine
