Point continued to dropped off with his third album here. 'R U Ready to Die' is the one song that really catches my attention due to the energy in the instrumentation, the chorus and all of the features. Other than that, it's all forgettable and just comes and goes. It sounds like a very generic late '90s rap album.

I've revisited this years after checking it out for the first time and it still doesn't click. It's all okay, from the rapping to the instrumentation, but there is just very little memorable here.
Best Tracks: Money an Fame, The Realist, All Sides, Be Real
There are some strong Game songs here that according to the song tags are all produced by Dr Dre. The bookends bang like a hairstylist. Some versions have 'Breathe Eazy' on the tracklist but that's not a Dre produced track so it doesn't fit here.
Best Tracks: Feels Good, My Bitch
1. Feels Good 90
2. Wonderful Life 80
3. Around the Way (Demo) 70
4. Won't Stop 82
6. Murda 74
7. My Bitch (50 Cent, Jay-Z and Suge Knight Diss) 90
Albums like this catch my attention. Famous features, (including Nas) and just the solitary album in the discography. I can see why this was as far as she went though. Cha Cha is a fine enough rapper, but there is nothing different here. She sounds like a Foxy Brown, gangster kind of rapper, and the instrumentation is all generic late '90s sounding.

Not a bad mainstream R&B album. I don't think 'One Wish' is the amazing song that some claim it to be. There are so many better ones from the strong era this was released in. Ray J doesn't have a great voice. The powerful way the R&B legend, R. Kelly, sings, "For the WORRRLLLD to see," during the introduction of 'Quit Actin' knocks anything else on this out of the park. The album loses some steam during some of the overtly sex themed songs like 'In tha Mood' and 'Sexy'. The outro of 'Sexy' with Mýa is hard to listen to. There are lots of enjoyable tracks though, without anything being supreme.
Best Tracks: What I Need, One Wish, Anytime, Centerview
