Working It Back - Teddy Pendergrass

Advantages: beats, rhymes and life, what a hip hop album should be
Disadvantages: maybe too many skits..oh, and maybe Slow Jamz :P

...his gran and being thankful for being where he is now 4/5 7. Get 'Em High - I guess he had to stick a party tune on here somewhere lol. My least favourite tune on the album 2/5 8. The New Workout Plan - Not an update of Jane Fonda's best seller, should of been called work-it-out, deals with how rappers deal with there gf's 3/5 9. Slow Jamz- **shudders** maybe I've just heard this TOO much, but I've really gone off this one. At least it name-checks Teddy Pendergrass :) 4/5 at first wearing thin to a 2/5 now :( 10. Breathe In Breathe Out - Sounds a bit like a DJ Premier Produced MOP tune. Kinda a p**s-take of all the blingy rappers out there, clever lyrics. 4/5 11.

Advantages: Ignition features on the album
Disadvantages: Most of the tracks are weak

...done something to you that hurt you, but nevertheless you've ever found yourself unable to stop loving them, this is your song. This song if for the lovers that think with thier heart, not thier head. 4) "Love T.K.O.," Teddy Pendergrass It is about how sometimes love gets you down when you try to fight it. Other artists including Regina Belle and Hall & Oates, have tried recording versions of this song, but Teddy Pendergrass version is alot better! 5) "Endless Love," Luther Vandross & Mariah Carey First recorded by Diana Ross & Lionel Richie in the mid-1980s, recreated on Luther's 1994 album of duets called Songs, seamed to be reborn. 6) "Forever in My Life," Prince The Purple One is a master at crafting sexy ballads. And of of his best is "Forever in My Life," were he puts all other women aside an talks about marrage to that one special... Read review
