Whassup yall, I completely forgot to put up my albums reviews. Thats how you know that I haven't been impressed by this week's releases. I will have my full length Lupe Fiasco comfort piece (review) in a couple of weeks so be on the lookout for it. I haven't had time to go to the record store and I'm not downloading it. I heard it a couple times on AOL the leak and LOVED IT. All I can say that it is a MUST BUY for any hip hop fan. Now onto this week's reviews which are shorter for a reason.

Janet, Janet, Janet... what the hell is wrong with you?? She has simply lost her niche for great albums and songs. This album is so damn weak and boring. Janet has went from setting standards to being an older, more sexually frustrated Ciara. Enjoy, With U and Take Care are the only songs worth a damn and even they are carbon copies of other songs. Janet lost her mind when she let JD produce on this cd. He doesn't know how to work with her voice. And his damn drum machine is annoyin as HELL. JD burn that machine, we are tired of it. There is no creativity outside of her using 80's samples to give it that throwback feel. Her fans are becoming worse than Mariah's lambs, buyin multiple copies just so she can sell. Thats a damn shame, her projected 1st week sales is between 300,000 and 350,00. LMAO. Beyonce, Christina and Justin had higher projections and actual sales then an icon who is falling short of legend. Also she has barely promoted the album, she still living off of the Super Bowl fiasco and hoe-ing herself to magazines. Damn shame once again. The only good thing I have to say about Janet is that she can still DANCE her ass off!!! She was on Oprah killin those dance moves. So she's doing the reverse Mimi (Mariah is dead, Mimi has been emancipated at last), Mimi had a GREAT album but her live performances SUCKED. Janet album SUCKS but her live performances are GREAT. D

He's the Amercian Idol finalist that left the show due to him signin with Clive Davis. Well his album came out today to provide Ms. Jackson some competition. With no promotion, he'll be happy if he debuts in the Top 10. He has a very nice voice, one of the best hispanic ENGLISH singing artists out now. But his album is BORING. They gave him any ol song to sing, gave it a beat and put it on the album. There is no theme, life or anythin to it. Gallery and One Shot are the best that I heard. I couldn't get past the 5th song so I don't if there is any other gems. He's at his best on ballads. D+
