"Singer, Model, MTV VJ, Actor = Superstar," reads an insert included in the press packet for 2000 Watts, the follow-up to Tyrese's self-titled 1998 debut. Since when did being mediocre at everything one does add up to superstardom? Granted, the 22-year-old from Watts, California, sports the chiseled cheekbones and scrumptiously rock-hard abs it takes to excel at the "Model" portion of his equation for fame. But as far as the other components go, it might serve Tyrese well to stay away from the endeavors that require talents in any departments besides the, uh, visual ones. 2000 Watts plays like an amalgam of all the things wrong with R&B today. It practically bursts at the seams with Tyrese's shameless self-promotion (which becomes painful on the audacious gospel interlude, "Lord You Control Me," as he sings, "Thank you Jesus / Out of all the people in Watts / You sent me out there to represent for my people") and banal references to flossin' and blingin'. Tyrese gets no help from ultra-blah beats provided by top producers like Rodney Jerkins, Babyface, and the Underdogs, who realize that anyone with pecs as toned as Tyrese's really doesn't need strong grooves to sell records. --Sylvia W. Chan

Tyrese's new album 2000 Watts is one of the best albums I've heard so far thats been released in 2001. It's the long awaited album since his 1998 debut album. The first single I Like Them Girls is the perfect R&B summer song, you guys will love it if you haven't heard it already, really great song. I Ain't The One is my favorite track on the album, a Rodney Jerkins produced tracks about the desire for a love thats not based on material things. Just A Baby Boy is another great song with Snoop Dogg. Other mentionable tracks include Off The Heazy, Get Up On It, For Always and Bring You Back My Way. If you want to hear a really good R&B cd this is the one for you, Tyrese has a beautiful voice that is smooth and sexy.

Tyrese's second album "2000 Watts" (2001) has some nice music. After watching movie "Baby Boy" decided to buy this one. Album is Executive produced by Tyrese, Greg Parks and Anthony Morgan, with guest appearances coming from Snoop Dogg, Mr. Tan, Jermaine Dupri and Sole. Album opens with "I like Dem Girls" tribute track to the ladies, and is followed by "I aint the One" a fast paced song, both tracks are decent but nothing special. First stand out song for me is "Just a Baby Boy" Feat. Snoop Dogg and Mr. Tan the song that was used for the movie, a nice Rap/R&B collabration track. "Make up Your Mind" follows and is song about committment. Babyface produced "There for Me" is a soulful love song, a tribute to a special lady. On "I'm Sorry" Tyrese goes deeper, and comes up with a throughly memorable and enjoyable track. My favourite track is "What am I going to do" an enduring love song, Tyreses flow and lyrics are soulful and memorable. "Fling" and "Off the Heezy" feat. Jermaine Dupri follow, the first is decent and the second is ugly, sure some Rap/R&B collabs are good but others are not, this being an example of one of those. "Get up on It" feat. Sole is a subpar filler track. "Housekeepin'" thankfully comes and is a enjoyable song about short term romance. On "For Always" Tyrese truly shines, with an epic love song. Final track is a slowjam called "Bring you Back my Way", which closes off album well. Although there are some subpar tracks on this album, there are other tracks that really stand out and make "2000 Watts" an album worth having.

Tyrese came on the scene with an exceptional debut.. That had two of the best ballads i have heard in a while Sweet Lady and Lately respectively.. Tyrese is back stronger then ever working with relatively unknown producers but that doesnt take away from how good this CD is. Best moments on this CD is when Tyrese concentrates on the ballads this is his forte that is no more evident then on the Babyface produced "There For Me(Baby)", the best of the ballads on the CD in my opinion is the Bob & Tim tune I'm Sorry for anyone that might not be familiar with Bob & Tim they are responsible for a big hit for Case " Missing You".. This song has the same type of vibe as Missing You.. What Am I Gonna Do, House Keeping, The very romantic ballad " For Always" this song could be another one of those wedding anthems..There are some hot uptempo tunes on this Cd as well among the highlites the current single I Like Them Girls, The G-Funk Flavor Battlecat Produced " Just A Baby Boy" Featuring Snoop Dogg and new Comer Mr. Tan this song is also featured in the upcoming motion picture " Baby Boy" Which Tyrese and Snoop Dogg stars in. Jermaine Dupri is on board produced the best of the uptempo tracks with the tune " Off The Heazy".. Rodney " Darkchild" Jerkins produced I Aint The One song dealing with him telling the young lady that he doesnt have to buy material things to prove his love to her.. This is an excellent CD should get a lot of spins in your CD player.. Second time around is even better then the first.. If you are a fan of Tyrese or just an r&b lover "2000 Watts" belong in your CD collection..
 Trendy, of-the-moment R&B November 23, 2001

Tyrese has the looks, the body, and the voice, but he lacks the songs. His self-titled disc was a promising debut, but this new one offers little more than trendy, ready-for-BET/MTV r&b. His producers (Rodney Jerkins and Jermaine Dupri amongs others) add almost no surprises here, although the Babyface ballad "There for Me" stands out. Other than that, it's "girl" this and "shorty" that. And do we really need to be subjected to another guest appearance by Snoop Dogg? "2000 Watts" is as good as it needs to be if you're looking for of-the-moment top 40: you'll be bobbing your head to the beat, but in 6 months time you probably won't remember half the titles of these songs or how they even went.

I bought this cd because I really liked Tyrese's first single "I Like Them Girls." I got the cd last week and hate it! I really haven't listened to a lot of it and have absolutely NO desire to whatsoever--so what's that tell you. I'm sooo disappointed, it was such a waste of money. I'm just definately not feelin it, not good.
