Music Monday: Black Movie Music

Hello, Brown Queens! Happy MUSIC MONDAY to you! Today's MUSIC MONDAY has a twist. The music featured today comes from the soundtracks of our favorite black films. What's your favorite movie with a predominately African-American or brown cast? Chances are, you remember the music from that movie and the soundtrack was just as iconic as the film. These movies featured on today have had the best soundtracks and are almost as recognizable as the movies they accompany. You remember that Maxwell song you heard when Q and Monica first got together on Love and Basketball or the Maxwell song that was played when Nina and Darius Lovehall got together on "Love Jones". he pivotal scenes in the movies always have the best music.
