~~I love it~~ - I love the c.d. I like most of the songs on the c.d. that is hard to say these days because most c.d. s there is only usually one or two songs that you listen to but I like: Song: 1,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,12,13 and that is almost the whole c.d. so I think its worth buying.
just ok - this isn t a bad album, but it s not great. might need better producers or someone to write better songs.
Ok album - Songs are bad, but alot of them sound alike...not a bad cd, but not great
R&B!!!!!! - Finally a real R&B album is released. It s been way too long. The only weak song is Laa Laa. Other than that, I can listen to it all the way through.
Holiday not observed - The first time I remember hearing of Nahum Grymes (better known as J. Holiday) was on this stupid MIMS song called Girlfriend s Favorite MC. He has since become the latest addition to the R&B thug era. Even so, I must admit that he does it a little better than some of the other proponents (Ray J, Pretty Ricky, The-Dream). But that still doesn t say much about his debut album Back of My Lac .Not to keep bringing The-Dream up so much, but I was all set to compare J. to him because they have a lot of things in common: they re both trying to be that thug, most of their songs are ridiculously raunchy, and they both refuse to give up their ages (and you can tell Dream had something to do with Bed because of the ey-ey-ey part). But the reason why J. is more tolerable than Dream is that J. actually can sing. Still, he s a little too sleazy, and many of the songs are club tracks that go nowhere, especially the first three (the title track, Ghetto and Thug Commandments).And then you have Laa Laa, which is hard to relate to because it s telling his girl how to get high like him. Then, of course, there are raunchy numbers like the corny Come Here and the statutory Betcha Never Had, and sorry, but Bed is annoying. Another concern is Thank You, where the chorus starts off fine with: I wanna thank you for the time we spent but then it goes into To show my appreciation I wanna bang your back until the morning comes `round.The only songs I can really stand on here are Suffocate, Fatal and the final track, Fallin . One more thing, since lac is broken off from the END of Cadillac, the apostrophe should be at the beginning of it, not the end. All spelling lessons aside, if you re a 21-year-old woman and/or you watch 106 & Park religiously, J. Holiday s album is for you, otherwise, leave it alone.Anthony Rupert
