This is Tyrese 4^th album and its a Double Cd, as you all know Tyrese was a Model and he is an Actor plus an R&B singer. What you don’t know is Tyrese is a Rapper! Yes he is. The album is basically a two face disc, Where in disc one Tyrese is doing his usual magical thing, singing the way he always does which is amazing.

But disc two is Tyrese’s 2^nd face and he goes under the name “Black Ty” the rapper, it was a bit surprising cause I never expected to get that on His 4^th album and the double CD, “Black Ty” isn’t as good as Tyrese but he is not bad. I loved the fact that he tried something new and I respect that, but I don’t think that a lot of people will appreciate such a move from him.

Disc One contains a lot of fantastic beats and wonderful lyrics, as usual Tyrese is a very good vocalist and I just love his tone. “One” linked out a couple of months back and it was amazing, its one of his greatest songs till now, it also contains a lot of good songs such as “lights on” “Gotta Get You”, “Come back to me shawty”. This is a wonderful CD to have and I would buy the album with my eyes closed.

Disc Two Also contains a lot of fantastic beats and the lyrics are good, his vocal may sound week and it may look like “Black Ty” is trying to be somebody he is not, but if I’m to look at it as a rap/hip hop album I would say it’s a good album and you can sit down and listen to what he has to say. I loved tracks like “Get Low” “Ghetto Dayz” “Get it in”. Now the way he raps is good, I really liked it, and to me this album is worthy.

If I’m to rate it than I’d say 8/10. couple of songs in his 2^nd disc that I didn’t like.

Ginuwine “Greatest Hits”

· Audio CD (November 21, 2006)

· Original Release Date: November 21, 2006

· Label: Sony

Track List:

1- You owe me

2- Hell yeah

3- Pony

4- In those jeans

5- So anxious

6- Differences

7- Im in love

8- Stingy

Basically as you see I’m not here to discus wither these songs are good or not, I’m here to discus the release it self. I mean Sony records were somehow not ok when they’ve decided to release this album, 1^st of all, we all know who is Ginuwine and we all know that he is been in the industry for over 10 years now, since the release of his debut album “the bachelor” Ginuwine released many tracks that can be considered as “his greatest hits”.

The album contains a short list of his greatest hits which I personally believe that they are many more such as “When doves cry”, "What's So Different", “When we make love” “Same Ol' G” and many more.

Now I don’t think me as a fan can go out and buy such a cd with such short list and think that I’ve got Ginuwine’s greatest hits, I would love to put my hands on a more valuable Disc instead of having this. I might say I’m a bit disappointed for such thing to happen.

Donell Jones

This year is somehow gona be amazing inshallah, i didnt post for a while, was busy with life you know how it is :D.

I kicked off this year with a BBQ with friends and i enjoyed it, anyways i didnt have a car on that eve so i took a ride with a Friend "moomad" and as usual i wait for him to play his latest tracks or to what he is listening, anyways he started playing this amazing CD a couple of songs of Donell Jones and believe it or not I use to dis-like the guy, maybe cause i got annoyed of one of his songs "whats up" but anyhoo i started listening to some of his tracks and i went kabom, the guy is amazing (i know you all know that but im just feddin you with what i felt and heard :)) he has this smooth vocals and the way he sings is so soothing, i just like such artists who knows what they've got and try to use instead of going all crazy in a song and try his best to scream in each song.


Track list:

1. Special Girl
2. Better Start Talking- featuring Jermaine Dupri
3. I'm Gonna Be
4. My Apology
5. Spend The Night

The album is just amazing and it is one "if not" the best RnB Album of 2006, I wonder why i didnt hear alot of reviews of this album, it didnt get much attention.

Album contains alot of relaxing beats and vocals, some are "old school" some great songs there, although the whole album is fantastic but i really loved "Cuttin me off" and the ones with bold fonts.

i've downloaded every song in his latest album "Journey Of A Gemini" and the album is just great and amazing.

anyways, i would like now to share with you a lyric of his own, one of his latest tracks "Cuttin' Me Off"

DONELL JONES LYRICS

"Cuttin' Me Off"

[Intro]
Oh yeah ooh
Let me talk to you girl

[Verse 1]
Said I didn't lie told you where I'd be
I'd be chillin' with my boys at the (won't you let me finish)
How your girl gone tell you she saw me with some trick
But ain't told you she been trying to get with (girl let me finish)
I been trying to tell you for a while
But you never let me get what I'm trying to say out ooh
I always listen to what you got to say
But for a change won't you shut up let me explain

[Chorus]
(I will tell you) I will tell you exactly where I was but you
Keep cut cuttin' me off
(Baby I will tell you) I will tell you exactly who I was with but you
Cut cuttin' me off
I could just lie give a solid alibi
Wasn't no late night show
And my spotless lie
('Cause without you) 'Cause without you girl I'm lost I would say
But you keep cut cut cuttin' me cut cuttin' me off

[Verse 2]
Gave you your turn you done said a mouth-full
Now I'm gone speak my mind and you gone let me finish
Girl I promise that I'll tell you the truth, the whole truth
Let me finish, let me finish, let me finish
I been trying to tell you for a while
But you never let me get what I'm trying to say out
I always listen to what you got to say
But for a change won't you shut up let me explain

[Chorus]
(I will tell you) I will tell you exactly where I was but you
Keep cut cuttin' me off
(Baby I will tell you) I will tell you exactly who I was with but you
Cut cuttin' me off
I could just lie give a solid alibi
Wasn't no late night show
And my spotless lie
('Cause without you) 'Cause without you girl I'm lost I would say
But you keep cut cut cuttin' me cut cuttin' me off

[Bridge]
Girl there ain't gone be no fights (no more)
I don't want to raise my voice (that's for sure)
It don't need to go this way (so baby just STOP)
And listen to me when i say

[Chorus]

(I will tell you) I will tell you exactly where I was but you
Keep cut cuttin' me off
(Baby I will tell you) I will tell you exactly who I was with but you
Cut cuttin' me off
I could just lie give a solid alibi
Wasn't no late night show
And my spotless lie
('Cause without you) 'Cause without you girl I'm lost I would say
But you keep cut cut cuttin' me cut cuttin' me off

[Repeat 'til end]
Cuttin' me cuttin' me keep cuttin' me off
Keep cuttin' me cuttin' me keep cuttin' me off
And you never pay attention
Damn you're gonna listen
Shut up girl 'cause you know i love you girl
