The great G-Funk sound of the brilliant previous album from CJ Mac has been replaced by something that sounds like it should almost be on Bad Boy at the time this was released, with the lyrics also following that trend on many songs. There is still some G-Funk present, but with CJ not producing anything, and Mad (the producer of the previous album) only working on two songs, it sounds different. Most of the songs still go well, but it's not as noteworthy as his overlooked classic debut. Best Tracks: Hea, Hate, Ends, Big Pimpin

Good beats, catchy hooks and some good featuring artists make this a good album from Pall Wall. The main issue I had with Paul's last album was that everything sounded the same. The same complaint can't be made for this as the production differs from track 1 to 13. There are some average tracks as you'd expect like 'Lemon Drop' but there is some good southern rap on offer here and enough I've liked throughout my multiple listens of this. Best Tracks: I Need Mo, Got to Get It, Fly, I Grind, One Hundred, I'm Clean, Look at Me Now

It's okay, and has some banging beats, but in most ways it's your normal southern rap sounding LP. There's is nothing really original and nd it just feels like a long album with too many similar tracks. Best Track: Call Me What U Want

This album is pretty much hit or miss pop rap. I really like the songs mentioned below but most of the others are ones to skip. Best Tracks: Baby I'm Back, That's My Lady (Money), No Way Jose, Obsession

MJ's Most Consistent Album For consistency I think I would rank this as the best MJ album out of the lot. It doesn't have a 'Smooth Criminal' or 'Beat It' amongst the tracks but from 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough' to 'Burn This Disco Out' you have great music. I also think the slower ballads here like 'Girlfriend' and 'She's Out of My Life' work better than what Thriller has with 'Baby Be Mine' and 'The Lady in My Life'. While lacking the breadth of originality of some of his other music, here following the disco popularity, and not being as pop-culturally significant as what was to come, it's a breakthrough record in many ways and like I started this piece of writing with, for a consistent body of work, this is his best. Beats: ★★★★★ Vocals: ★★★★★ Hooks: ★★★★★ Best Tracks: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Working Day and Night, Off the Wall, She's Out of My Life, It's the Falling in Love, Burn This Disco Out.
