VA - Blankman: Music From The Motion Picture - OST (1994)

The soundtrack to 1994's Blankman is a lighthearted collection of songs that weren't hits. However, they sound enough like the hits of the day to function as a backbeat to Damon Wayans' limp outgrowth of his "Handi-man" character from In Living Color. Though he doesn't appear with the group, Prince composed, produced, and arranged the New Power Generation's "Superhero" -- it's essentially a C-grade Purple One track. Lalah Hathaway's "Anyone Can Be a Hero" is appropriately uplifting as the film's feel-good thematic centerpiece, while Domino turns in some G-funk lite with "Do You Like It Baby." Additional tracks by Tag Team, Silk, and Funky Poets fill out the margins of the set with minimal fanfare~Blankman Review by Johnny Loftus
