After a strong start with Coolio's neo-gothic morality tale, ''Gangsta's Paradise,'' the beats just keep getting better. There's Aaron Hall's sensual up-tempo ballad ''Curiosity'' and Craig Mack's charmingly crusty cameo on Sista's ''It's Alright.'' Considering that the film utterly lacks street cred, the soundtrack is surprisingly legit. B+
