Arguably even better than the first installment, disk 2 of "Can You Dig It?" contains 18 more tracks of blaxploitation perfection courtesy of Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Isaac Hayes and others. Starting off with the classics "Shaft" and "Pusherman" that are known the world over, things continue to get better as the organ and sax groove of "Sweetback's Theme" kicks in. Not to be outdone, James Brown throws down a typically hard and tight funker before Isaac Hayes let's fly with 9 minutes of quintessential blaxploitation music on the wonderfully titled "Pursuit Of The Pimpmobile".
I could go on and list the entire contents of the CD because each track is noteworthy in it's own way. Some of the music comes from famous movies such as "Shaft", "Black Caesar" and "Superfly" while others have been sourced from more obscure titles like "Cotton Comes To Harlem", "Cool Breeze", "Blackjack" and "Petey Wheatstraw". For anyone who is looking for the perfect introduction to this genre then "Can You Dig It?" fits the bill and for avid collectors there may well be a few gems that have previously passed you by. Enjoy!
