Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? BlaqueKnight?

Purchased it the day it came out. Wack comes 2 mind.
Charlie has nothing left 2 say on record anymore.

It sucks. Dude is just jumping on wack trends. Its a shame to see legends like himself, Lionel Ritchie, etc. jumping on trends and only adding forgettable garbage to their discography.

I'm embarrassed by this cd. Pissed me off that I waste my money on this nonsense. It won't happen again.

I liked about 3 or 4 songs. Nothing to rave about, though. His last album was really good. R. Kelly helped him pick the right writers/producers to fit Charlie. Too bad this didn't happen this time around.

love love love.

I almost fell into the trap too but i listened before purchasing
and i said hell to the naw. His bridging the gap cd of 2000 was
real good even better than first name charlie last name wilson.
This uncle charlie thing is utter garbage. The one single there goes my
baby is cool. I guess we shouldn't be surprised when uncle charlie reduces
himself to working with the likes of tpain and jamie foxx who is equally
ridiculous these days.

i got the charlie wilson solo from 1992...

the fact is charlie still has it. i kill for new dazz band material. they can still sing circles around these amateurs todays.

What's the general consensus on the "Last Name Wilson" album?

I was gonna pick it up, but the sticker saying "Collaborations from Will.I.Am et al" put me off.

Yeah those singers are one of a kind, although Skip Martin is the leadsinger and trumpet-player for the Dazz Band,
and he has been shifting places through the years by performing and recording solo, as well for Kool & The Gang.

That one I like.....

I heard a song on the radio that sounded like his voice was on it. It was SOS..."Same Ole Shit" everyone else records in these shitty times.

daPrettyman said:

yeah, R. Kelly did an INCREDIBLE job with Wilson. Should of kept him.

I've listened to this CD a couple of more times since I wrote what I did before.
I see exactly what Charlie was doing now. He took the "feel" of a lot of the contemporary singers' styles and showed what it would sound like with a "real" singer singing the songs. He did R. Kelly, The Dream, Usher, Ne-Yo, T-Pain, a little Donnell Jones and a couple of other vocalists. Even though the songs are contemporary R&B, the arrangements are pretty good overall. They aren't just thrown together. In my opinion, its a good record for the current generation. Most of them probably won't listen to classic GAP Band so this is probably the best route to expose them to real R&B singing - by educating them through the sounds they are used to. I think its a pretty good move on Charlie's part. He gets to stay relevant longer and he ups the bar for the young bucks at the same time.

WetDream said:

Well, R. was pretty busy with at trial when Charlie was getting this one together. It kept getting pushed back, now I see why.

BlaqueKnight said:

The more I listen to it, I feel the same way. He did a really good job of capturing what's "hot" now in terms of style, but some of the songs are not that good to me. I don't care for Homeless or the lead single, Supa Sexy. I've heard about 2 or 3 different versions of these songs and none of them are good. Now, I have fallen in love with "Let It Out" (which leaked back in November or December) and Shawty Come Back. Those songs are really good.

BlaqueKnight said:

U think the younger cats will like this?

Graycap23 said:

Maybe not kids under 18, but someone under 30 would like it.

daPrettyman said:

Interesting. This is one of the worst cds that I have purchased in quite a while. I will probably NEVER play this cd again.

Graycap23 said:

Wise choice.

Graycap23 said:

Oh come on, Musta Heard is not that bad. Neither is Let It Out.

daPrettyman said:

Not worth my hard earned money. It was a weak effort at best.

Graycap23 said:

Well, if it comes up in shuffle while playing the mp3 player, I'll listen, but I won't go out of my way to dust off the cd (unless I have 2 use it for something else).

If you don't like it, take it back and say something's wrong with it, exchange it, take the unopened one back for your money back.

daPrettyman said:

They will only give u another disc of the same title. I'll give it away like I do with other material I don't care 4.

Graycap23 said:

I know they give u the same title. Once you exchange it, take the new unopened cd to another store and get ur money back. If not, u can always sell it on Amazon or Ebay.
