Stanley Clarke "Theme From Boyz N The Hood"

[81watchdog]

A very classic Stanley Clarke tune! Reminds of some rough times during the 1990's raising a family and trying to stay focused. BEST BASS PLAYER OF ALL TIME ! Stanley Clarke.

Thank you jazzmasterz for posting....

Stanely Duke PaulHardcastle Boney James Brian Cubertson Grover Washington Jr. I can never get tired of listening to their music ... the midas touch has been bestowed upon them and your @jazzmasterz ears:)

[lordvoldemort578]

[Magagulab]

Remarkable!

[kim123792]

this song always made me sad a little bit knowing that life can be this hard for me and you sometimes,

[LORDEZE7]

Anyone know where I can find ALL of the different "Boyz n the hood" soundtrack themes? Other than this and black on black crime I can't find any of the other ones featured in the movie.

[relaxyermynd]

@LORDEZE7 They used to be on here but not anymore I guess...I was looking for the other themes too; the one at the end when doughboy fades away...very good stuff

[mtume007]

I always wondered if the if the saxophone is being played by the late great George Howard. This is my favorite from Stanley Clarke who is a great bass player.

[Seattlecarnut]

I love Stanley Clarke! Awesome music!

[jazzymuzzleloader]

a wonderful composition... masterpiece

[Lancaster1a]

Amazing artist! Great great Music! Love this song!

[redtone11]

[epsonc40ux]

@redtone11 its in the background where doughboy and the others get revenge for rickys murder playing in the car when there driving around looking to kill the guys who killed ricky

[trezlorenz]

What a beautiful Song that I called Imagination! It just allows you to float away!

[CoffeyBreaks]

This makes me want to book a vacation with my wife to somewhere tropical like St. Thomas (USVI) or a 7 day Caribbean cruise...

[joshpwill]

[Mikeybeat12]

This is a great tune.

It takes me back to the age of 17.

Some crazy ass times then.

[DJFanko]

Gotta listen to dat new dutch Boys n the hood album.

Adonis Hef N Crooks

them niggaz got some crazy asss punch lines man

[adenrecreated]

This is so soothing & so sad. I like it!

[seand67]

Great song. It's on Stanley's 'East River Drive' CD, which ALSO features 'Justice's Groove'

[Shittywaffles]

one of the most important films of the 90s

[bflake]

This is the music played that made me cry during the Boy n the Hood movie. Really sad moment.

[DjAntomattei]

Powerful! This is a tune that brings tears to my eyes. I can hear life in this.

[gschilli]

Stanley Clarke also performed "Justice's Groove" from the movie poetic justice. Also a master piece of music.

[CockTheRasbah]

why the hell was this not on the Boyz N The Hood album?!

[shafiqmastan]

you never watched the show befo... its a very sad story man....

[heartseer1]

The legendary Stanley Clark, is one of the best bass players I've ever heard. This composition is outstanding! Thanks for posting.

Peace

[AlparLoroszkomm]

Singleton and Clarke's work are the best.

Boyz N the hood best film. Worth watching, I guarantee it

[Zeronombrezleft]

Great movie, great music.

[Fellasluvme2]

Amazing! Thanks Stanely Clarke...

[Xbulelo]

Are you just being a prick?

[newhenpal123]

I'm guessing he's some moron who likened Boyz N Tha Hood to some stereotypical "Money, gunz, bitches, hos!" hood movie.

[haruba]

lol shut up

[kevinm4435]

what the heck stanley

[Smokosfunktime]

keep the grooves going. i apprechiate it

[TLDavis1230]

As I said on a previous Stanley Clarke post, he has done his best work on John Singleton movies including this one as well Higher Learning and Poetic Justice. Thanks for posting this beautiful piece of contemporary jazz.

[KleWdSide]

Excellent. And brings a few tears to your eyes from "Boyz N the Hood." That movie has packs a powerful punch.

[trezlorenz]

This defines the beauty of smooth jazz!

[reccepl]

I made love to ex girlfriends whilst this was playing in the background lol

[Xbulelo]

Did you play it yourself? This don't play purely by coincidence.

[Xubelo]

@reccepl - wow, incredible effort to get the soundtrack :)

[lordvoldemort578]

@reccepl I heard the ad while reading your comment And thought you were talking about that I was like wtf!?

[traben555]

the keyboardest in the baq looks like snoop dog haha anyways STANLEY<3333333

[KoKuTanLuFi]

This song sounds great but it makes me feel sad. Makes me think of the scene when Ricky died at the end of the movie and all the sadness of the scene. Makes me think of all the mistakes I have made in my life that have led to regret and guilt and self-hatred and pain! Very very sad.

[muxaeu]

Great!!

What name has the Stanley-CD with the Soundtrack of Boyz N The Hood on it?

Tell me what´s your favourite CD of him.

[bdot7]

I think its on Stanley's "East River Drive" very good listen.

[TriniTLY]

excellent piece, always loved this, as much as the movie, which is s gem.... thanks Jazzmasterz

[tjack5049]

Oh yeah...thanks for posting Jazzmasterz. You da man!!!

[tjack5049]

I can't get this cd anywhere. Anybody know how to get East River Drive?

[Reempi]

I'm a white guy going mad on tunes like this , I fucking love Jazz man.

Seriously what a Masterworks.

Peace,

[trezlorenz]

If anyone ever wanted to experience pure smooth jazz-just sit back and take this song in.

[SKULASCHU]

What a Genius! This tune is so beautiful.

[ejr04]

[secphas001]

[secphas001]

wow i randomley put stanley clarke and found this beautiful piece...........i haven't clarke in years many thanks for this!!

[sternmurn]

thanks jazzmasterz - there's not nearly enough stanley on youtube!

[ukgolfa]

..beautiful, beautiful stuff.

Been looking for the dramatic bass theme from the end of the movie..anyone..?

[sfap001]

I didn't know about a dramatic bass theme from the movie. Was it possibly that Take 6 song?

[ukgolfa]

..'Black On Black Crime' was the track I was thinking of..(track 14 on the official soundtrack).

After a re-listen, it's more of a sax solo, but when watching the movie, they must have upped the bass..Clarke is seminal in his field.

Cheers.

[ukgolfa]

...fyi..'Black on Black Crime' is finally posted...I've added it in my 'Jazz' playlists, hope it's still up when you get this.

Cheers mate.

[sfap001]

Thanks UKGOLFA I'll have to check it out.

[sfap001]

Ooh I love this song from the bottom of my heart. It just makes you think about life. It puts you in that mood to just sit out under the stars and think about your life and how you can improve on it.

[belltol]

What a beautiful commentary about a beautiful song.I always feel like Stanley Clarkes music sounds like Life going by too.Lets pray more people open their hearts to Spiritual Love Music...
