Before listening to this, all I'd known of Lil Dicky/Dave was hearing a freestyle or two and seeing a couple of episodes of his TV show, 'Dave'. On a site where talentless and generic artists who have nothing to offer apart from their T&A have respectable ratings, this is what we decide to zero-bomb with over 70% of ratings being 0-9/100? I, too, shake my head at some of the content and bars on this (there is of course too much penis stuff), but on the flip side, there is some interesting subject matter and engaging storytelling. The fact that 'Harrison Ave' has a rating of 24/100 says it all. With its classic boom bap beat, that feels like it could've been a Kanye beat in the early-mid '00s, and Dicky just rapping about his first love, it just proves that this was just attacked by the hater bandwagon. Some of the beats are quite generic and there are some skips, but it's not an 8/100. I spun this over five times and enjoyed enough of it to give it a decent rating. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars: ★★★☆ Hooks: ★★★ Best Tracks: Ally's Song, Harrison Ave, Burst, Second Coming, Going Grey, Jail (Part 1), We Good

After revisiting all of J-Lo's albums, this is one of her most inconsistent projects. While there are hits like 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' and 'Ain't It Funny', it's front loaded and just has more lukewarm songs. As an aside, released in the same year, there are some songs that have some elements that remind me of MJ's 'Invincible'. Best Tracks: Love Don't Cost a Thing, I'm Real, Play, Ain't It Funny

I think one of the problems with this album, unlike her others, is that the sound isn't varied enough. Too many songs have the same kind of vibe and I'm saying this after giving the album about 6 spins. It's all decent-good though. 'Mile in These Shoes' is an underrated one. I had its chorus stuck in my head. The upbeat-dance-pop like 'Hold It Don't Drop It', 'Do it Well' and 'Gotta Be There' all work fairly well. The title track is another highlight. There is nothing I'll be craving to hear from this in the future, but it's another decent collection from Jennifer. Best Tracks: Hold It Don't Drop It. Do It Well, Mile in These Shoes, Brave, Do It Well (Feat. Ludacris)

I enjoyed the dark, depressing tone this has but it is ruined by one completely out of place scene. After being violently raped by the antagonist, and others in the crew trying it on with her, there is a 'comedic' scene where Bergman's character is teased with peaches not long afterwards and then laughs along at the end with backing Benny Hill music. What the... 2.5-3

I have never felt so embarrassed for other people than I did for some of the actors whilst watching this. How on Earth do movie like this receive the green light? And almost as bewilderingly, how does this have an overall rating of over 2.5 here? The Virgin Hunter sketch is maddeningly annoying and then, unbelievably, they decided to do a second part of it. The porn review bit is absolutely horrendous. Some of the Bat-man stuff was okay, but again, they beat it to death. No pun intended. The same can be said for The Godfather parody, 'Godmother', that drags on and on. And then there is the repetitive sketch about a white guy going after a virgin black guy and not taking no for an answer. I could go on. The director, Vince Offer, used many of these ideas to make the only slightly better, 'InAPPropriate Comedy', 14 years later.
