Anyone got his new cd? Is it any god or just generic slow jam R&B? That Nikki song and Fast Car sound hot so I was thinking of getting it. Howz the rest?

Bought it yesterday, but i got caught up in all that is Janet
will listen tonight and let you know

ok cool. i think i may break down and buy it later today so maybe we can compare notes.

Hell I'm looking forward to the reviews just to see how many times The Dream can repeat a word in each of his songs.

yeah he does seem to have that repition thing going on.

Hes a bit Prince obsessed, even using titles like Purple Kisses and Nikki. Some cool beats but not much of an artist and had already given away his best two songs (Umbrella and Bed).

I like 'Fast Car'. It's a mix of Prince and Andre Cymone on one track. The music has the Prince feel 2 it and his voice sounds like Andre Cymone. It's pretty cool.

I should of said Prince sounding instrumentals but his vocals and overall style is more R. Kelly meets T-Pain.

don't get it. it sucks. just listened to it the other day and heard part of it while shopping earlier. prince should really sue him for fast car. it sounds EXACTLY like erotic city and when doves cry. he sounds just like j holiday and chris brown. i kinda like the ghetto-fied lyrics (a la r. kelly's real talk), but not on EVERY song. some of the music is cool. if only the artist was more interesting and had more of an imagination. i can say the same for a handful of artists today. i like shorty is da shit (10 is a better line though). but the only other song with any kind of feeling is the last track mama. all about his mother, who died.
