Everyone's giving this five stars???
Anthony Rupert | Milwaukee, WI | 12/25/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)

"The-Dream's career has hardly slowed down, because he and his partner Tricky Stewart have continued to pen a few songs on just about everyone's albums over the past couple of years. But when I heard HIS album Love/Hate, I found it to be yet another example of an artist giving all his good material away and leaving himself with the scraps. Still, I decided to listen to Love vs Money.



The album's title might trick some people into thinking a Dream album actually has substance this time around, but it doesn't seem to be the case. The only song that really stands out is the Mariah Carey duet, "My Love", and by the way, I wonder why Mariah is hitting her famous high notes on HERE but not on her own album (but DREAM shouldn't be doing that; see "Put It Down"). And "Fancy" is tolerable, but most of the rest of the album talks about...yep, you guessed it: sex, sex, and more sex. And the problem lies in the sleazy way he talks about it, as evidenced by "Sweat It Out" and the bonus track "Let Me See the Booty" (with Lil Jon). But what takes the cake is "Mr. Yeah", which is corny enough but then it ends with Dream asking, "Can we F now?"



There's also "Kelly's 12 Play", where Dream brags about how good it is when he and his girl do it to that classic album (that's not a good thing, when you think about it). Songs that aren't about sex don't always work either, as part one of the title track is really annoying because there's too much going on in the background. Dream's singing IS a little better; if only I could say the same for his material (and that "EY!" chant all over the background is beyond irritating). Love vs Money is better than his first album, but that really isn't saying much.
