For real. I copped this album today and all I can say is "DAMN!".
I've been buying more R&B albums than rap as of late.
-
Me 2. Besides very few releases, Rap's been kinda stagnant as far as whole albums. Bilal's shit is the bomb, no question...
-
Really? its dat good?
-
HELLA YEAH.
I bought Bilal's album @ the end of August, it's a great album.
My favorite songs:
"You Are"
"Sally"
"Love It"
"All That I Am"
"Soul Sista"
"Fast Lane"
"Sometimes"
Sikotic, what is your fav joint so far?
-
My 3 favorites are:
1. Soul Sista (Raphael Saddiq is working his way up as one my favorite producers)
2. For You
3. Fast Lane (nice Dre beat)
The whole album is crackalackin'. There is honestly no one completely dissapointing song. If y'all are into soulful R&B than this is the album to go cop.
-
i havn't bought it yet but my english teacher plays him and i'm feeling this album A LOT
BigJake gives this album a 4.25 not quite a 4 but not really a near classic...yet
-
Its not a classic but its definitely above average. EVen if the production was shit (which it ain't) the album would be good because of the soul in Bilal's voice.
-
who produced "Sally" ? that joint kinda sound like Dre again
-
who produced "Sally" ? that joint kinda sound like Dre again
Yeah its produced by Dre.
-
this album soudns good... any of u have a real audio link to it? cuz i just wanna lsiten to this and if i lie it.. i'll proably end up buying it
-
imma cop it tommorow..
i hadnt heard anything about it... nearly copped it last week - shoulda followed me instincts.
-
This is the only cd I could bump out loud in class, but Bilal still cusses, lol. I'd give this CD a 7.8/10.
I wish that "Fast Lane" Remix was like a bonus or some shit, with the new Dre/Jadakiss verses. Bilal will prolly drop a single like he did for "Sould Sista" & "Love It." I see them in the singles section all the time. Also, I think "Sally" is a much better song than "Fast Lane"..."Sally" should've been the thrid single.
-
Fast Lane will sell more because it got not just Dre but Jadakiss, who is getting alot of praise for his work, so I think it was a good choice. Plus it was the single that finally got me to wise up and go buy the album.
-
Notice they put in a Dre verse so peeps would go buy the album, the original doesn't have a Dre verse.
-
Yeah, I was kinda pissed about the Dre verse not being on Fast Lane. Its still a great song though.
-
I haven't been copping r&b cds. I don't remember the last time I did buy one. Maybe I'll check it out. I still haven't bought alicia keys. Yo how is that alicia keys. I'm afraid to buy these two joints cause I think it might get no play.
-
ALICIA KEYS could go down as Soul album of the year, no bullshittin. Bilal's joint is sick too and No More Drama (Mary J.) is blazin'. For late last year, Erykah badu and Jill Scott. I been coppin' some Soul as of late coz hip hop's crazy stagnant. Last CDs I REALLY liked this year? D12, Beanie Sigel's The Reason, Blueprint, Hi Teknology, Guru's Balhead Slick and the Click... That's about it. Eastsidaz was good too (even though I'm yet to get it); Kurupt got mixed reviews from y'all so I don't know... and Jadakiss was crazy disappointing (only like 1/3 of the album, like the first 6 songs and that's it, should have downloaded them). One slept on joint: KRS-One's Sneak Attack. Bangin'... The rest this year didn't come thru for me...
-
I gotta get Jill Scott's too. I have to go collect some money from a few people who owe me first.
-
i'll have to check that out. i havent got any new albums for a few months now. i might buy that and the Alicia Keys cd, shes too dope.
seems R&B is actually moving forward for once
-
bilal's album is fucking SICK!
im not even playing with you...buy it.
alicia keys is also a nice album...a little too sentimental in places for me but a solid 4 mics
jill scott's album was tight and so was erkyah's last one but i seriouslly sugggest all my funk lovin hip hop heads out there cop that new macy gray 'the id'...that shit is off the hinges...its got dope tracks with ?uestlove, mos def, and slick rick but macy shines when shes on her own just as bright...it really does sound like macy over some vintage parliament shit...most definatley dope.
-
"I wish I was drug free sometiiiiiiimes."
"Sometimes"
That equals realness.
-
Bilal - 1st Born Second
Alicia Keys - Songs in A Minor
Mary J Blige - No More Drama
Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun
Jill Scott - Who's Jill Scott?
Macy Gray - The Id (yep yep yep...)
Maxwell - Now
EVERYONE: GET THOSE CDs IN YOUR COLLECTION, FO' REAL... For recent R&B, yo, those are excellent records dawgs, EXCELLENT, just great music... And go back to check AMEL LARRIEUX (chick from Groove Theory) "Infinite Possibilities" if you slept on it last year like most peeps did. It's serious... They even have a review of the album at soundcircuit.com...
