Sure, the album has its moments like "Let's Get Down", but...actually, let me rephrase that: the album has its MOMENT like "Let's Get Down". Nothing else on this album really stands out. "Get It Poppin'" suffers from a weak chorus, and "Follow Me" is a lame instructional tale on how to get rich and famous like he is. And the Neptunes-produced "The Don, The Dutch" sounds like it was made in 1989.

But the real problem here is...well, there are actually two real problems. One is that Bow Wow sounds different on every track, and the other problem is that most of these songs don't make sense, especially "I Got Y'all" and the 2Pac-esque "The Movement". And if you think he sounded cheesy when he said "When I turn 16 I'll call her though" (from "Bounce Wit Me"), "Eighteen" is the whole BLOCK of cheese.

The last two tracks (the obligatory ode to his mother and "I'm Back", a bonus track) don't do anything for this album either. Maybe Bow Wow should unleash some better material for his next album. (By the way, has anyone else noticed that Jermaine Dupri had absolutely nothing to do with this album?)

This is a great cd......Bow Wow has really matured......He is writing his own songs(finally).Not by Jermaine Dupri. I think leaving So So Def is the best thing Shad ever did....even though the cd has some low points.....But i love it......His best cd ever...Can't wait for the third single!
Get It Poppin'-5/5
Let's Get Down-5/5 (First Single)
Eighteen-2/5 A low point of the cd
Follow Me-5/5
My Baby-5/5 Great Video (Second Single)
The Don,The Dutch-5/5 (Third Single)
The Movement-5/5 Sounds like a 2pac song
I Can't Lose-5/5
Hey Little Momma-5/5 my fave song.....should be a single
I Got Ya'll-4/5 Hate the hook
I'll Move On-5/5 Mario is a great feature to this song!
To My Mama-5/5 Amerie should have done more vocals!
I'm Back-4/5 Should have been on the cd as a regular track.
And what is up with tracks 13,14,and 15? They have nothing on them ...Great cd Bow Wow

This cd is garbage I cant believe anyone would go out and buy this cd. Bow Wow needs to get out of the rap game. He is not hard, he needs to stop trying to portray a hard thug image. He will always be the girlie looking boy that we all grew up to know, no matter how old he gets. But from start to finish the albulm is a laughing matter. You can't help but to laugh at his wack lyrics. So I give him one star just for being in the game.

All I have to say is that this cd if you listen to it long enough begins to really bring your intelligence down heavily.This garbage like his previous garbage sounds all the same and the lyrics are all pointless chatter of having this having that.This kid needs to go back to school and stop making a fool of himself.People please vote for my review and lets collectively stop this cancer of garbage music from spreading.


DONT BUY THIS ALBUM.   December 23, 2003

THIS IS JUST A TRUE DISGRACE TO HIP HOP. I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN HOW HORRIBLE THIS ALBUM IS. IT MAKES ME MAD THAT ALL THE UNDERGROUND RAPPERS ARE A 100 TIMES BETTER THAN BOW WOW BUT HE GETS ALL THE PUBLICITY. HE HAS THE WORST RHYMES YOU WILL EVER HEAR. " You can come be by my side while we go outside." YOU SEE HOW WEAK THAT IS. ANYONE CAN WRITE THAT. HE ALSO DOES NOT EVEN WRITE HIS OWN MUSIC. THE ONLY THING YOU MIGHT ENJOY BY LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM IS HOW STUPID HE IS. IT IS REALLY FUNNY. SO UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN EXPENSIVE DRINK COASTER OR YOU ARE AN INSANE BOW WOW FOLLOWER DONT GO NEAR THIS ALBUM!
