    Lied, literally just hit play. I haven't listened to a second of this album (aside from random songs in clubs) since like, 04.

    Opener/title track follows in the Vols 2-3 tradition of overproducing yourself out of contention. This beat is way better if you pare it down. Pretty good song though.

    The production on here is so of its time it's kind of endearing

    Completely agree.

    Look, R. Kelly's obviously done horrible, reprehensible things. He's also the best R&B singer since Marvin Gaye. I can separate the man and the music most of the time but "Where'd you get your little body" is a bit much for a guy who barely denies f---ing middle schoolers.

    I'm only on It Ain't Personal so maybe it gets better, but right now this doesn't really sound like a collab album. If someone told me they'd made a mashup of Jay vocals over R. kelly songs and played me a track from this, I'd probably believe it

    The beat on "The Streets" is HORRIBLE. The song is well-conceived, Jay kills it, Kells is good, but nah.

    Green Light is my favourite song so far. Beanie coming in trading off of Jay gave me Dynasty flashbacks for a minute

    There's nothing particularly awful about this album so far but it's so...bland.

    Again, "Green Light" should have about half the instruments in it. But yeah, better than everything else.

    I like "Naked" because Jay was like "Fine Robert do whatever you want with this one I don't care I have to have my tailor add seven inches to the knees of these jeans"

    "Shake Ya Body" is another song that's just okay but is like 5 degrees from being an all-time classic

    EDIT: KIM KILLS IT

    Jay starts off horribly on "Somebody's Girl" then kinda finds the pocket.
