Sup ya'll, Incognito here comin @ ya with my second review. This time I'm gonna do an overview of TQ's second album that hasn't been officially released yet. BUT...I was lucky enough to get a REAL copy in Europe.

COME AGAIN (INTRO): Nice lil introduction with TQ just payin homage to all the dead homies.
G.H.E.T.T.O.: An upbeat song with TQ just singin his ass off. He calls out Sisqo for being a punk-ass bitch who dyes his hair, LoL. A good song with a good beat too. 4/5
INTERNATIONALLY YOURS: One of my favorites. This is a song dedicated and is about all the overseas peeps. The hook is incredible in my opinion, TQ does a nice job fo sho. Plus the beat is somethin to listen to as well. 4.5/5
DAILY: This was the first single which dropped about a year ago with a video and all. It interpoliates Biz Markie's "Just a Friend. A good song overall.
SUPER BITCHES: Not my type of song, I think it disrupts the flow of the album. This is an uptempo song about super bitches...LoL. 3.5/5
CAUGHT (INTERLUDE)
HOW CAN I BE DOWN: This is my least favorite track off the album. Again, not my type of shit. TQ doesn't fit well with this type of shit. Plus JaRule is on this song so...2.5/5
HOLD IT DOWN: Shit, this is my type of music. Str8 heat with a nice soldier theme. Man, this hook is HOT too. Really, a nice song. 4.5/5
WHAT THE FUCK (INTERLUDE):
BEST FRIEND: Another great song. Great lyrics by TQ over a faced pace guitar driven melody. 4.5/5
ONE DAY: Warren G beat!! LoL, this song credits Layzie Bone for being on it but it's really E-40 instead. Don't like E's part, but the rest is tight. 3.5/5
MOMA (INTERLUDE)
LITE-SKINNED FRECKLE FACE: GREAT song about TQ's moma. It's a deep meaningfull song with a great beat and chorus. 4.5/5
HARD-LIFE: Man, the hits just keep on comin. Another good song with tight singin & a nice beat. 4/5
THE GRIND: Oh yea, Warren G produces this one AND EVEN DROPS A BAR! Yea, he recycles his verse from the track "Friends" but oh well. Good beat & hook. Only thing would be a better verse from Warren. 4/5
The One: A deep song that may not be for most of the peeps in here. I gotta admit I don't even play this song a lot either. 3/5
BEEN A LONG TIME: This is my favorite song off the album, and it reminds me of this past summer every time I play it. I can feel TQ here, great singin backed up by a good beat as well. 4.5/5
*BONUS*: This song isn't listed on the back of the CD, but it ain't bad. It's a really upbeat song to end off the album. 3.5/5
My album for the summer of 2000, PERIOD. I didn't even expect to buy it, but TQ came as a surprise to me...big time. I like that r&b shit, but he ain't really r&b. He's more deep, and soulful. He can even be a gangsta too. I bought this album IN Europe, and to this day it has never been released in the US. TQ's label fucked him big time by releasing it behind his back and not telling him. SO thats why it was only in Europe. TQ left Sony and is still trying to put this album out. I hope he does, I consider myself & anyone else who has this album to be lucky. This is a great overall WC album, that's what it's all about. TQ handles 5 songs for the production, and all the beats are blazin! Wow, I enjoyed every song except for about 2. Probably my favorite r&b/soul album of all time. Though this album is STILL rap y'all. I can't complain...8.5/10.
I know BDogg has heard some songs...if anyone else has, tell me what you think. Also tell me what you think of this review.
-
I really wanna get my hands on this album. Songs like "Internationally Yours", "Daily" and "Light Skinned Freckle Face" are what make this album really special.
Nice review Dawg.
-
On the real, TQ came wit some hot shit for the summer. How did you get to hear those songs?? I thought you got a hold of a copy?
-
Nah my friend burned me a copy of it. He didn't put all the songs on it though (that dumbass). I heard most of it and its off the hook.
-
i got the album and i've been listening to it since september. personally, i really like that song "the one", even though he does have some corny ass lines in it.
you forgot to mention that along side his diss to sisqo, he disses ginuine ("i ain't never seen a nigga dance with no broom") and prince ("i ain't never seen a nigga wearin no high heel shoes") all on the same song "GHETTO"
if anyone wants this album, give me a holla, and maybe we can work something out....
-
Why did he diss them...were they from Compton??
-
Nah its cause they act like bitches by dressin up all girlie and lookin all goofy while he is keeping it real.
I think he disses other R&B artists in "They Never Saw Me Coming". It was on the song "If the World was Mine".
-
Okay cool, LoL.
-

Its small but its the best I could find.
-
lol ok thanks
-
My friends got this and has had it for over a year.
PS on his version the track called "one Day" Does have layzie bone on it. (its not the E 40 version.)
That version is Sooo much better than the E 40 version.

I'm waiting for Doggystylin to send me 'They Never Saw Me Coming' in tha mail...Anyone know if it's better than "The Second Coming"?
-
ITS BETTA THAN THE SECOND!
peace
-
Cool, I cant wait...
-
hey NIK sorry for the long delay, ive been REALLY busy lately so i didnt have time. but now that i have time you'll get the cds anyday now
-
i dont know why but i dont feel TQ unless its "Westside"
-
I'm a little bit late with the reaction, but what the hell. The album is tight! Definately one of my favorites of all time. My favorites are "The Grind" and "Hold It Down".
And JTPlatnum. He does diss Sisqo, but he doesn't diss Ginuwine and Prince. A long time ago he had a reaction to that rumor he dissed Ginuwine in the outro of "Been A Ling Time". He said that it's no diss at all. And TQ is a fan of Prince. Give me one good reason why a fan would diss his idol.
-
This is a classic review, lol.

I am from Spain and I got this album the fukkin day it came out since I LUV "They never saw me coming". This album deceived me cause it aint nowhere near his first. Shit, it's still a dope album and it's got bangin tracks, but it cant top the first and it has a whole feel of a rushed album or tracks just put together, without sense of an album. Sony fucked TQ with this shit. It's a dope cd tho.
And I dont think he is dissin Prince since he is a great admirer and is even covering one of his songs in his new album, "Gemini".
