H.'s TOP ALBUMS

“This is pure R&B music... R. Kelly went straight heart throb on this. On 'How Do I Tell Her?' he's channeling Sam Cooke and may be one of the more underrated tracks. The way he was able to invoke some of the great singers is beyond genius... 'Taxi Cab' and Not Feelin' The Love are MJ; 'Just Can't Get Enough' is Marvin Gaye; 'When A Woman Loves' is Jackie Wilson and maybe some Otis Redding; 'Love Is' is Marvin and Tammi Terrell; 'Music Must Be A Lady' sounds Donny Hathaway but Kellz revealed it was in the spirit of Marvin Gaye; 'Number One Hit' - sounds Sade-esque 'Just Like That' - Stevie Wonder The others like Love Letter and Love Letter Christmas, Lost In Your Love, and Radio Message are all appear to in the mold of R. Kelly with a steppers or motown spin. Of course he did his own penned track for MJ with "You Are Not Alone" a whole lot of justic. Hands down R&B album of the year. Beautiful music from top to bottom (even the bonus songs on the Deluxe version)”

“This album is the ish. It continues to show his range and versatility how he just adapts. Be my #2 has that discoish/funk, exit is very catchy and so is crazy night, elsewhere and religious r beautiful ballads. Go low, whole lotta kisses, pregnant and echo r sexy tunes. Like I do will take some time to grow on me but only dream comparison is based on the production. Text me is super tight and simple and I love the dj techno-ish/house vibe is great. Supaman high is a club banger courtesy of his second verse”

“Man so of these 50 cent dykk ryders are on it hard. Giving it a low rating just to bring it down. Hilarious and sad at the same time! This is his most complete album to date. Port of Miami and Trilla had tracks I could skip. If compared to other albums dropping this year, this may move from a banger to classic.”

“I've never owned a Nelly album so I can't compare it to his other efforts and neither should I say. Needless to say, this is a good album that people are sleeping on. I mean tracks like ucud gedit, long night, self esteem, and who f$*ks with me are just a list of songs u need to listen. Nelly proved critics wrong with Country Grammar when no one thought that song would do anything let alone the album.”
