"Music from the motion picture" means a rap/R&B sampler, highlighted by the singles "Get It Up" by TLC (written by Prince), "Indo Smoke" by Mista Grimm, and "I Wanna Be Your Man" by Chaka Demus & Pliers. The most notable song from the movie, Academy Award-nominee "Again," sung by female lead Janet Jackson, does not appear for contractual reasons. ~ William Ruhlmann
