Just wait till MC’s album drops, it’ll be once again one of her biggest album debuts of her career. You can’t judge how an album is going to do just by listening to the first single. True, Touch my Body doesn’t live up to Mariah classics like Hero, and Fantasy, but its a fun song and has a very catchy tune. I hated Rihanna’s Umbrella song when it first came out, but it caught on to me, and now radio can’t stop playing her. Mariah will prove once again why she is the biggest selling recording artist of all time when her new album drops. And the release date is April 15, not April 1.
One more thing, why does MC hasve to be scrutinized just because she partnered with TPain? Gwen Stefani did the same thing by collaborating with Akon, and people weren’t even paying attention to Jordin Sparks until she partnered with Chris Brown. It seems like she was the one who had to latch on to an ubiquitous singer like Brown just to score a hit, and this is her first album!

Hilarious! It’ll be interesting to see how the predictions hold up. I think you’re spot on about MC, though. I was over Touch My Body about six seconds into the song.

Fat Joe, “Lean Forward”, (working title, out Summer 2008) - 3.5 Stars

As one might conclude from his past, Joey Crack’s repertoire is as limited as his creativity. Although, the Crack Man has scored hits in recent years, with “Make it Rain” and “Lean Back”, Fat Joe the Gangsta has as yet failed to put out a record where he says anything of consequence. 2008’s “Lean Forward” breaks that trend! His lead single, the J Holiday assisted single “I Won’t Tell”, is a total change of pace from the synthed out “What’s Love” featuring Ashanti from 2003, showing a little more of Joe’s softer side (a side that’s apparently really big and REALLY soft). Plus, Joe tackles new and diverse subject material with the follow ups “Crack is Back”, “Crack in the Streets”, and probably the best track on the album with fellow latino tough guy, Jim Jones, “Crack is the Best!!!” The DJ Khaled-produce, futuristic sounding “Lean Forward” a sequel to his preivious hit “Lean Back” introduces a brand new, and different, dance and features verses from Lil’ Wayne, Juelz Santana, Pitbull, Trick Daddy, Method Man, Lil Flip, The Game, Project Pat, E-40, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Trick Daddy, Rick Ross, and Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J. One listen to “Lean Forward” (either the song or the album) makes it blatantly clear that Fat Joe the Crack Man Gangsta is here to usher in a new, sophistocated and let’s be honest, admirable era in rap music.
