Advantages: Some of the best Swing-R&B ever Disadvantages: Lots of interludes
...alog with this, you have BLACKstreet offer some of their well-known voclas whhici make it all come together very incely. You may notice that the lyrics from this were used later on for "No Diggity", their biggest hit ever, and here they come with a tune to express the way they feel towards girls who can show off what they have. **Four Stars**
6. "Good Life"
BLACKstreet get things moving with a feel-good tune for the masses, although this one didn't ... ...this one off is where BLACKstreet go with this track. The song has them perform a ballad to switch things up and they do this by makign the subject matter new love, and how much pleasure is brought about by it. I'm not as keen on this side of the group, so I didn't lie it as much as other tunes on here. **Two Stars**
12. "Before I Let You Go"

Advantages: Superb beats combined with soulful lyrics Disadvantages: Not unique but nontheless good
...Blackstreet are an R’n’B group who have been around for some time. I've heard that music and couldn't resist, I bought it as soon as it came out. The CD was and still is fantastic, you've all heard the great songs Don't Leave and No Diggity, these came from one of the greatest bands in America. Although they are overshadowed by the likes of Sisqo and Backstreet Boys, Blackstreet are a band that have come of age over the years and deserve praise that they are not receiving from fans....

Advantages: Good Classic Hip-Hop Songs Disadvantages: None
...doesn't have a certain theme or meaning to it, it is just basically a freestyle song about nothing in particular. I think most of you would know this song. "I got 5 on it". Top song.
●Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day●
We all know Ice Cube don't we? This is basically looking back on old times in Cube's life. It has a simple beat with nothing much to it.
●City High - Caramel●
This is more of an R'n'B song. It is a simple tune, and when the chorus comes in, there's hardly a tune there. A nice chill out song. Claudette sings most of the song, which is basically just about hooking up with a guy. This is classed as City Highs most famous song, but many of you may not know this song. Their other UK release was 'What Would You Do?'.
●Blackstreet - Don't Leave Me●
Blackstreet are one of the first...
