How this doesn't get cited as the time when Wayne fell off instead of his next album is beyond me. The rumours of Curren$y and others ghostwriting his rhymes before this album seem rational because he went downhill around the same time. The lyrics are more unfocused/random/bad, whatever you want to call them than before, and even the beats and hooks are weak. How in God's name 'Lollipop' did what it did, is again, beyond me. It's an embarrassing song. This sold a lot and the singles did well, but that doesn't make the album a classic in my eyes. Critically it's not good enough. A couple of alright tunes, but all in all it's a poor pop rap album.
