The Worlds biggest girl group
Advantages: Contains all the familiar classics Disadvantages: None
Diana Ross and the Supremes broke down many racial barriers during their eventful reign in the 1960's. Rivalled by only Elvis Presley and The Beatles, their remarkable acheivements included 12 ground-breaking chart-toppers. Motown boss, Berry Gordy, intended to use his roster of artists to appeal too not only blacks but to break into white culture too. Diana Ross And The Supremes were easily the most successful act at Motown to find acceptance in ... ...also. There are popular misconceptions about The Supremes, that Diana Ross stepped all over Mary Wilson and the groups founder, Florence Ballard in a ruthless bid to be the sole star of the group. Mary Wilson had a breathy, seamless, pleasant-sounding soprano whilst Florence Ballards startling vocal delivery was more raw and earthy and indeed possessed a higher volume level than Diana Ross. But with Diana Ross, they immediately had a unique sound ...

The King is Back
Advantages: Old school beats Disadvantages: Nothing!
I think this album is great, really like the old school hip hop. A couple of tracks are quite self indulgent, but most are really good, the first track released (give me what you got) is one for the summer and Lost ones is definately worth checking out, even for people who aren't hardcore fans. The cover is like 3D so depending on whether you get a green or red case you get a different cover which is a nice bonus! I got it for about ten ponds at ...

A turning point
Advantages: amazing history behind the songs and great music. Disadvantages: none at all.
This cd in my opinion was a great turing point in eminems career. This cd changed him from fame to super stardum. In this cd he attacks everyone who critersized his first album "the slim shady lp" and famously his ex wife Kim and his mum. The fact that he has chosen to use his real name for the title of this his seccond album shows that this album is alot more personal to him. This album is alot darker than his first as the only upbeat song there ... ...the only reason he wrote this was to have a radio friendly song on the album.
This album reached number one on the charts; billbord 200, top R'n'B/hip-hop albums, top canadian albums and top internet albums. This cd was a beak through in rap and has continued to be sucsessful even to this day. The only content significantly edited were offensive and violent parts that were aimed at police, women, homosexuals, and schools such as columbine and even ...

A Truly Addictive Album?
Advantages: Great Voice, Some great Tracks. Disadvantages: A few weak/boring songs.
***INTRO***
The name 'Truth Hurts' came from Dr Dre. Shari (AKA Truth Hurts) is from St Louis, and I would describe her as a relatively unknown urban vocalist. The album 'Truthfully Speaking' was released in 2002.
***APPEARANCE OF THE ALBUM***
As you can see from the picture above, the album cover is nothing out of the ordinary. The front cover features Truth Hurts from the front. The back cover features a close up of Truth Hurts face. Not very ... ...LIKE THIS ALBUM?***
If you like urban/R&B music then it is possible you will enjoy this album. I expect that if you enjoy the music of Mary J Blige, Blu Cantrell and Tweet then you will probably like Truth Hurts.
***WHERE CAN I BUY THIS ALBUM***
From Amazon.co.uk: £6.97
From Play.com: £9.99
HMV: £10.99
***THE TRACKS***
1. Push Play --------------------
This is not a bad intro. It features Dr Dre. Quite a lot of swearing in this short intro, ...

How Did We Get From Jamaica To Snowflakes One Song After The Nex?
Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: Nothing specific
“Snowflakes” was released as the first Christmas album from the R&B singer Toni Braxton. Released in 2001, it finds her mixing in a range of tunes which have her taking on familiar tunes that all know from this time as well as some original compositions. It is noted for being recorded at a time when she was newly married and was expecting her first child. 1.“Holiday Celebrate” The album opens up with a track that shows that in this album we are about ... ...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...
