Lil Wayne: I Am Not A Human Being

Rated: WC (Worth Coppin')

I'm usually dissuaded by albums with only 10 tracks on them, but I gotta give it to Weezy F Baby (Please say the baby), he did his thang! This cd is a press play from start to finish. This album is as unique and quirky as he is, full of metaphors and excellent word-play. Wayne is a lyrical genius and his delivery is just what's needed on each song. He even manages to do a track with Nicki Minaj that doesn't make me gag. Rarely is there a cd in which I jam every song. "I am not a Human Being" is that album. Pick a favorite...you can't. I will say, he could have left his boy "T-Streets" off of "Hold Up" but still, a solid, solid project. Incredible beats, nice collaborations, fantastic solo pieces, killer title track; what more could you want in an album? It's worth the money.

Current Track: All of them: CD on REPEAT

Now or Never-Tank

Rated: WC (Worth Coppin')

This album is as hot as he is! It's 3 parts baby-making music and 1 part love story. Of course it's well-written, has great collaborations and is wonderfully sang. This cd will do something to you. It evokes emotion. Listen with caution. Tank (and his music) is highly underrated. Please don't sleep on "Now or Never."

Current Track: 11 "Amazing" and 13 "I Can't Make You Love Me" (Peep the latest video below)

Keyshia Cole: Calling All ♥'s

Rated: P (Pass)

"Calling All Hearts" is an inconsistent piece. There are some hits such as the second single, "Long Way Down," the duet with Tank, "Tired of Doing Me," (which is just okay for a duet with Tank, I mean his voice is incredible) and "What You Do to Me" and then there are complete misses—songs that don't sound like finished products and that should have never left the lab—"I Ain't Thru" with Nicki Minaj and "If I Fall in Love Again" with Faith Evans (which sounds more like something that should be on Faith's cd, not Keyshia's). The remaining 5-9 songs (depending on which album you purchase) are take or leave. If you never hear this cd, you're not missing out on anything. Don't waste your money, buy the singles for $0.99 on iTunes.

Current Track: 8 "What you do to me"

Kirk Franklin: Hello Fear

Rated: WC (Worth Coppin')

 A  "press play " from start to finish.

Straight up, this album is better than almost every secular cd that came out this year. You have throwbacks like "Something About the Name Jesus Pt 2" and bangers like "Give Me." It's redemption, salvation and rejuvenation all wrapped in one. This album is inspiring. It's a job well done. Kirk Franklin (and the family) does not disappoint. Out of the box, inspirational and above all, good music, great singing and a phenomenal message. Spend your money, save your life!

Current Track: #3 "Before I Die"

Miguel: All I Want is You

Rated: WC (Worth Coppin')

Overall, a really good cd! There's a little something for everyone. He creatively brings together the thug and hopeless romantic with such songs as, "Sure Thing" and "My Piece" (my favorites so far). A great introductory project! His musical style is Pop, R & B and Hip Hop. Well-written. Creative. Something to chill or vibe to. It's worth purchasing.

Current Track: #13 "My Piece"
