TVTs’ sounds of Blaxploitation compilation, "Baaddasssss Cinema" are 13 hard-edged classic funk and R&B grooves with bite, just like the movies they embody.

Forget about that mainstream Motown pop-rock soul of the ‘70s. "Baaddasssss Cinema" highlights the vibe of music legends James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes and others whose tone underlined a restless new generation emerging from the 1970s urban areas.

"Baaddasssss Cinema’s" mix of inspired Blaxploitation songs "The Bottle" (Gil-Heron), "Express" (B.T. Express) and William De Vaughn’s soulful ballad "Be Thankful For What You Got," are punctuated by Mayfield’s antithesis "Pusherman from "Superfly," Isaac Hayes’ title song from "Truck Turner," Earth, Wind & Fire’s "Sweetback’s Theme" and The Blackbyrds’ "Cornbread’ from the motion picture "Cornbread Earl and Me."

These soulful powerhouses should satisfy Blaxploitation die-hards while luring new fans to the genre.
