Advantages: Never go wrong on the club tunes
Disadvantages: Ballards are weak

..."B2K" is the self-titled R&B album from a group consisting of members Omarion, J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil' Fizz. Their style is a blend of pop and R&B, and it marked the changes in the R&B genre at the turn of the century as all the male vocals groups had phased away and boy bands had just about done, they came through as a refreshing take on boybands, with a street appeal. Although this was released in 2002, almost all of it was recorded the year before this as you hear them state the year in almost all the songs. If they had of recorded it in '02, then they would have had the busiest year of their life as they went on to release two LPs and an album in the year aswell. 1. "Got's To Be" For an opener, I was quite dissapointed by this track, but it seems to grow on you with time, so don't be completly off-put from the whole album... Read review

Advantages: Good range of RnB with some really good songs
Disadvantages: Didn't include some songs i would regard as RnB classics

On And On - Badu, Erykah The first CD includes: Pop ya collar by usher is a nice RnB song, not what i would regard as an RnB classic though, Usher has had some other fab songs & i think this song doesnt show his best talents so rather disappointed they chose this - for the first song as well!!.. Bills Bills Bills by Destiny's child is a very girly song - including lyrics such as 'you're slowly making me pay for things your mommy should be paying for!!' - a very girl power type song!! - i dont like it much as Destiny's child have had some really good songs that i would reagrd as classic and not this one (such as dangerously in love - which is an absolutely fab love song - Beyonce at her best!).. No Diggitty by Blackstreet really deserves to be on a classics album, it's upbeat and catchy - Blacksteet really should have... Read review
