I always wondered what a love song written by David koresh and dedicated to his wives on the compound would sound like. Now I know. Thanks, Uncle Kracker!

fyi, this song was written by max martin. "because of you" was the single co-written by ben moody. i know this is late, but the backstreet boys review you just put up reminded me.
This cover and the one INOJ did of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" were totally useless. Two 80's classics sped up, slimmed down, drum and bass-ed into irrelevance. If you review "Tonight" and the Twista song that references it , your RFTW bases will be completely covered.
Vanity projects don't get more vain than "Jenny From The Block." Link This review (one of my all time favorites) hits some of the same notes you do. Like Will Smith, Jenny is trying to create an alternate universe where one can make 10-20 million dollars a picture and still have street cred. At least Will started out as a rapper. J Lo's records are just
If Blu Cantrell wrote better songs (instead of trying to hide the fact that she was in Black Tail years before she blew up), she'd have been a bigger star.
"Candy" is a cute song, but it borrows too heavily from "Do You Know (What It Takes)", which was recorded two years earlier by Robyn. It was produced by Max Martin right before he became the devil.
The trick Sarai is referring to is Miami's only most popular rapper, Trick Daddy. In his 2002 hit, In Da Wind , Trick repeatedly reminds the listener that he "love the kids." The articles I've found about Sarai, Northern State and <a href="http://lau
Like the Bee Gees in the "disco sucks" early 80's, R. Kelly offset a mountain of negativity in 2003 by writing hit songs for other artists. Unfortunately, instead of "Islands In The Stream", we got "In Those Jeans." This song is a typical Kelly ode to a body part with Ginuwine adding Jheri Curls and a sixpack.
rodney jerkins doesn't know how to take his hands off the knobs. michael jackson's 'invincible' album is proof of that. darkchild also doesn't realize that producers shouting themselves out on tracks has been played out for.......you know, that stuff was never cool.
i always liked this song. i just wish billy corgan had kept it and "celebrity skin" for himself. they were better than the most of the tracks on the smashing pumpkins album that came out in '98.
i can see why the peas are hot right now. they've got that multi-culti, high energy, faux-fugees thing going on for real. their transition from semi-underground to ultra-mainstream can't hide the truth, though: will.i.am can't fucking rap.. i mean, phunking rap.
You're dead on about the Big Boi cameo. Since Andre 3000 is taking a short break from rap, he's trying to carry the Outkast torch in the interim. However, weak verses like this suggest that he should put the torch down and pick up a thesaurus.
I dig this song, but I don't think being released a year later would have helped its success. Truth Hurts' "Addictive" (better video) and Lil Kim's "Get In Touch With Us" (just plain better) were the superior "middle eastern" tinged singles of 2002.
I always thought this song was overrated. However, that has more to do with every performer who fancies himself a singer/songwriter citing Joni Mitchell as an influence. Are you going to do review the Counting Crows/Neptunes version that was released last year?
Christina Aguilera and Pink sold their 2002 last albums to the media as autobiographical. Both had their biggest hits written or co-written by Linda Perry. But neither disregarded Perry's contributions like Avril Lavigne did with The Matrix . Avril's never written a song in her life and probably never will. Anyway, I'm With You is the prototypical Matrix song:
this is essentially nelly's first ballad, and she does a great job with it. it's definitely one of the better songs on the "folklore" album. the realness of the real people was slightly disappointing, but i've heard worse lyrics in my day. i mean, i listened to cam'ron's last album. it's great to hear a pop star whose voice actually improves with time. janet's been around for about 20 years and she's just as thin and processed as she ever was. her v
i read your reviews tonight and they're excellent. i wanted to know if you'd be interested in writing for my website, Link .
