"Not so bad actually, many songs are fun and radio friendly, not that he's a super rapper but his lyrics are sometimes funny. Ok, Nick has got alot of help cause he's on tv + that many "good" artists appear on his album. Rap fans wouldn't buy this perhaps but it's a decent pop album. "Feeling freaky" with B2k "Gigolo" with R. Kelly " Whenever you need me with Mary " I used to be in love" with Joe also Nivea and Biz Markie appaearing on 2 songs. Skip the first one with the super annoying Ying Yang twins and Fatman Scoop. But it's a good album, both slow and faster tracks, good guest artists that get's your attention, nice pop music. If People can buy pop-rap like Nelly why not Nick Cannon too?"

People, it is not that bad

"Nick Cannon's first rap debut is decent. He doesn't curse because he realizes he has young fans who watched him on Nickelodeon, which I find very responsible as an artist. This album has a few hits. The album starts off very strong with "Get Crunk Shorty" feat. The Ying Yang Twins. Just Blaze delivers a THUNDEROUS club beat and Nick drops decent lines, although it sounds like he is trying to make himself into something he clearly is not. This track is ok, the Ying Yang twins get annoying after a while, but the beat is enough for me to consider this song one of the best on the album. Another hit in "Gigolo" feat R Kelly. R Kelly produces the song and sings the smooth chorus. Again, it sounds like Nick is trying to make his self out to be something he is not. Nick misses on this album in a few places. "Your Pops don't like me" is a terrible effort. The song sounds way to childish and I won't be surprised when it finds it's way to heavy rotation on Radio Disney. Overall, the album is decent and not even as remotely close to as bad as other reviewers are making it out to be. Buy it if you are a fan of the single "Gigolo" because the rest of the album holds Nicks fantasticly simplistic wordplay and nice production. 3.5 stars."

Its ok
