Inside the music of Coming2America

Like the 1988 comedy, “Coming to America,” its sequel 33 years later also features its share of memorable musical moments., who worked with Eddie Murphy on “Dolemite Is My Name,” knew how passionate people were about the original and “didn’t want to mess anything up,” he tells. The director wanted to tackle such universal themes as parenthood and tradition using the film’s soundtrack combined with Jermaine Stegall’s score.

That “fun idea” evolved into a spectacular dance sequence between Lavelle Junson and General Izzi’s daughter, Bopoto . Brewer explains: “There’s a slight misdirect on it where people think Oha is going to sing the song, and he doesn’t. Instead, Bopoto sings the hook, and Lavelle sings the rap. It’s a sexy song, but done hilariously.”

Brewer credits Spendlove for coming up with the idea of having En Vogue sing “Whatta King” in place of “Whatta Man?” A phone call later, the group was on board.
