Crews are crews, according to this record, and the consequences of being left out of society are spelled out on both fronts, particularly Top Choice Clique's "I Think to Myself" and Intelligent Hoodlum's "The Posse (Shoot 'Em Up)." The more adventuresome music used in the film is also included here. Mario Van Peebles' father, Melvin Van Peebles, a maverick black filmmaker in the 1970s and a co-star in the film, contributes some old-school liberation poetry to the cause with "Cruel Jim Crow (Posse Don't Play That)." Film co-star Tone Loc (rapper Big Daddy Kane is also in the film) takes contemporary hip-hop tracks and helps the soundtrack's producers make the connection between the Wild West and today's urban frontiers.
#Posse kimbra album full
Mixing spaghetti-Western "oo-ee-oo-ee-ooos" with urban beats and righteous raps, the album sets up the movie's premise that the American West was full of black citizens/cowboys, families, and soldiers who helped settle the land and make the law. Similarly, the soundtrack's combination of black and white artists matches the film's mix of classic Western homage and populist melodrama. Accompanied by his band of both black and white cowboys, he seeks vengeance and justice. Posse director and star Mario Van Peebles uses the film's soundtrack to augment the righteous themes of his 1993 revisionist Western about a wronged black cowboy drawn back to defend his hometown against a slew of evildoers.
