Last week, I spent some time at the cinema and watched Bad Neighbors.
The film, starring Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Dave Franco, and Rose Byrne, is pretty much a satire of everything we hate about frat guys. Lemme tell you this: other than all of those penis jokes, this film is damn funny, alright.
But we're not here for the film...
Soundtrack wise, I have to say, Bad Neighbors is quiet a good collection. Filled with up-tempo and tunes synonymous for party-goers, the CD is kinda dope.
Some of my fav up-tempo tracks are Nappy Roots' 'Good Day', K'naan's 'Hurt Me Tomorrow', and Ini Kamoze's 'Here Comes the Hotstepper (Heartical Remix)'.
Meanwhile, for party tracks, I'd choose Flo Rida's 'Freaking Out', Theophilus London's 'Girls Girls $', R3hab & Bassjack's 'Raise Those Hands', and that mashup of Missy Elliot's 'Get Ur Freak On' and The Black Keys' 'Keep Me'.
Honestly though, there's no cohesiveness between tracks (I hate the fact that there's a rock song in the middle of the playlist: FIDLAR's 'Cheap Beer' - UGH). But other than that, after one spin, I have no problem to hit the replay button.
Plus, who doesn't love a music throwback?! There's a Fergie track in it: 'London Bridge'! Pretty much reminded me of my high school years.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
