"Nutty Professor" (06/04/1996) Original Cast Original Soundtrack, Def Jam (USA)The soundtrack to this Eddie Murphy vehicle introduces some of the hottest new hip-hoppers of the summer of 1996 (Foxy Brown, Trigger Tha Gambler), while reintroducing some of Def Jam's best rappers from both coasts (LL Cool J, Warren G). The heart of this diverse soundtrack is in the tracks that feature R&B vocals over a hip-hop track, sometimes with a guest rapper. Slick Rick shows up on Montell Jordan's "I Like," and Naughty By Nature is featured on Monica's "Ain't Nobody." There are also posse cuts with old-school, pass-the-mic rhyming: Trigger performs with his brother Smoothe Da Hustler on "My Crew Can't Go For That," while Def Squad's "Breaker 1, Breaker 2" features frontmen Redman, Keith Murray and Erick Sermon. Love songs by the likes of Az Yet and LL Cool J add a smooth side to THE NUTTY PROFESSOR.

"Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" (09/22/2000) Original Cast Original Soundtrack, Polygram (Japan)Japanese edition features bonus video clips: "Doesn't Really Matter" (Janet Jackson) and "Thong Song" (Sisqo). Usually, soundtracks don't move listeners in the same way as a new album from their favorite artist. However, this isn't the case with THE NUTTY PROFESSOR II. Like the first soundtrack, the album packs hits from Def Jam's talented roster, among others. The first single "It Doesn't Matter" comes courtesy of the movie's co-star Janet Jackson, and there's plenty more of that dance vibe on offer throughout. Sisqo's "Thong Song," featuring Foxy Brown, is a definite winner, while the album's ballads keep the overall feel balanced. Where hip-hop is concerned, contributions from Jay-Z, Method Man, and Redman & Eminem will have the biggest impact.
