Advantages: Catchy tunes Disadvantages: Sometimes lacking in flow
...I bought this album after hearing 'Hold You Down' by FatJoe and Jennifer Lopez, and was impressed. As white rappers go, most people can only name one (Eminem), but hopefully with this album, FatJoe will be able to step up alongside Marshall and become a well known face in pop culture.
Generally the album is pretty solid. Vocally, FatJoe is reasonably fresh, and his slightly aggressive style goes well with the music. Melodically the album isn't incredibly strong (nothing compared to the instrumental masterpieces penned by the likes of Kanye West). The backing vocals can, at times, seem high pitched, very synthetic and generally aggravating. Occasionally, tracks can lose their flow due to poor lyrics or pauses in the vocals.
However, in general this is worth a listen. The two 'Temptation' tracks are definitely a highlight. 'Hold You...

Advantages: Excellent Vocals, Excellent Productions, Great Album Style Disadvantages: Length of Songs, Too many Intros
...Ashanti is probably well remembered from her appearance in Ja Rule's "Always on Time" Video back in April 2002.
Ja Rule then signed Ashanti to his record label Murder Inc.
Ashanti also had a duet with FatJoe. She was responsible for the catachy lyrics for "Whats Luv" After these two massive hits Ashanti released her debut album called "Ashant". I personally thought that it was going to be as big an album as her duets with Jar Rule and FatJoe and I was disappointed.
Ashanti co-wrote JLo's song "Ain't it Funny" the remix - which was another massive hit.
Ashanti's albums are worth listening to if you like RnB music. Her sound is unique an I think that her voice is great. She is not like artists that come out and think they are too nice.
Ashanti is talented and at a very young age she has already renowned for singing and song...

The Big Picture kicks off with a memorable intro. It kicks off with a Gangstarr live performance as they kick off their track "Full Clip" as they tribute to Big L. The track scratches and blends into a Big L flow, which is about as dope as it gets.
DJ Premier provides the beautiful saddening beat, with a recurring violin and scratches so that Big L can drop one of his...
