I'm not surprised or disappointed at all. You can't be disappointed if you don't expect more. I told y'all from the very beginning, I bet this album was probably going to be similar to "Urban Rapsody" in the late 1990s. I'm sure Rick was probably making an album hoping to get radio airplay and you know what that means.....either all slow stuff or shit hop influenced stuff.....no funky uptempo stuff whatsoever.

Rick looked like he was broke as hell when he died also so I'm sure he was really hoping to get a hit. Did y'all see the apartment building he was staying in? Hell, any average Joe could have lived there. It's a damn shame that real musicians have to sell out to get fucking radio airplay. Otherwise, I'm sure Rick would have thrown plenty of funk in there.
Andy is a four letter word.

I'm gonna buy the CD anyway,just for collection purposes,but I hope I find a few good songs on it.'Urban Rapsody',at least,had one great slow jam ("Don't Ever Say You Love Me" with JoJo).
