Celebrating a great year for J.Lo, this 4th release and big album favourite gets a face lift with a bagful of great remixes. Of course, the US No1 Murder Remix is here -a re-worked, re-written, re-sung funk fit a-la-Mariah featuring the Rick James sample and the notorious Ja Rule. The Dezrok Edit is a very disappointing, straight-forward dance remix. UK Garage Supremos Dreem Teem push up the action with their exciting, bass-heavy Garage dub Remix. But it's the fabulous 11 minute club extravaganza from D.MD that is totally worth it! A full-on vocal dance mix that fires the track into the dark heart of clubland -with deep rumbling bass lines and tough beats and covered in sweet vocal touches. The vocal-heavy Pablo Flores Dub is harder and faster but ultimately not as good. AND if none of the above get you hot and wet, then check out Part 1 of this 2CD set -and the new Australian version of the album which includes 2 fantastic new tracks: I'm Waiting + Pleasure Is Mine.


J Lo brings out the best single on the album.   December 10, 2001
Jennifer Lopez brings out her best single yet, surpassing her previous hits Love Don't Cost A Thing (Okay), Play (Good) and Ain't It Funny (I like the whole gypsy thing in the video) with the radiant I'm Real. The song sparks with attitude and a great beat, and the amazing remix (with Ja Rule) provides a cool duet with a more laid back vibe than the original. The Ja Rule Remix makes the CD worth it, plus there's great remixes bt Dezrok (has worked with remix producer Hex Hector) and the Dreem Team (UK garage crew).
Overall a great purchase which should stand out as Jennifer's greatest songs yet.

J Lo & Ja Rule get "Real"   March 4, 2002
This is a really tight jam and I'd be very suprised if you haven't heard it yet. Ja Rule's low & scratchy tone of his voice and J Lo's beautiful higher sounding voice match up perfectly...like Beauty & The beast. The beats and background music are fabulous & this song is also dance-floor friendly as well. No remixing needed. It really deserved the title as "Hit of the Summer." Even though there was the whole issue of Tommy Mottola (MAriah Carey's ex husband and CEO of Sony) I still like this song...a lot. Overall Grade for "I'm Real (Murda Remix w/ Ja Rule)": A-/B+.


I'm Guilty as Charged.   July 9, 2002
Yes, this song is hollow, shameless, and tacky, but ranks high on my list of guilty pleasures. The nondescript album cut gets drastically remixed to a hip hop beat and is set to Ja Rule's growl. It's irresistible and fun, but you may hate yourself in the morning.
