Album Review: Slim - Love's Crazy

With rap goin back to being ass again.. with the dissapointment that Kanye is giving us with this autotune BS and Lil Waynes Dedication 3 being a big dissappointment for most of us.. and all the other BS up and downs rap is puttin us through, the only thing consistantly good to me is RnB and im a self-proclaimed "RnB-ass-nigga" so I have been waiting on Slims debut album to leak out.. 112 is was and still is one of my favorite RnB groups and Slims unique voice sang the hell out of a lot of the song that we still love of theirs to this day.. .so my expectations are high on this one... With that being said.. I had to give you my review...

1 Intro - Psalm
This is just Slim sayin some scriptures from the Bible.. I guess he had to get all the religion out the way on the 1st song.. aint really expecting much more of that on here..

2 She Got That
The vibe on this on and the way the cd starts off reminds me of how Trey Songz Cd and Keyshia Coles Cd started.. DROPPIN!!! with a banging ass beat to start off the tempo.. You know Slim from ATL.. and this beat def couldda been a rap beat.. it come in hard to me.. I liked it.. I listened to it a coupla times the 1st time i heard it.. I could def mix this one..

3 Good Lovin ft Ryan Leslie and Fabolous
The sound like a Ryan Leslie song.. whether u think thats good or bad, thats on u.. Im not a RL fan.. but i do like this song.. I heard this a few weeks ago.. and im glad they added FAB to it.. of course he spits on this.. he always does.. this is a pretty nice track.. i wouldnt say it would be a great single, but its a nice album track..

4 So Fly
We all know this song... to this day, it still gets me amped.. i have taken this as somewhat of a theme song.. bc of course i feel that im just this fly.. im glad they didnt use Shawty Lo for the album.. AEI IOU.. nigga please.. ive already blogged on that tho.. but ive had this song since April 21st.. i put it on a mix on the 24th.. and its been jumpin since.. we all love this..

5 Baby You Interlude
Just an interlude that introduces the next song with him and Faith

6 So Gone ft Faith Evans
I love Faiths voice.. i would want my wife to have a voice so strong but still so sweet.. the song is ok.. I want it to be so much better.. maybe ill like it more later after listenin more.. its not bad.. just not what I wanted it to be.. they couldve used more lyrics or thought into the chorus.. geez..

7 Sweet Baby
This song came on.. and I knew it already.. I scratched my head and went to my windows media player to see about it.. and dammit.. i downloaded this song on Oct 10th 2006... yeah.. more than 2 yrs ago.. but it was just the 1st verse and chorus.. and it didnt have that damn autotune in it.. i dont really like this that much.. sounds like an old rejected 112 song

8 Heels On ft Yung Berg
Thumbs down on this one.. it sound like a Yung Berg song.. not a Slim song.. maybe ima lil bias cuz i dont like dude.. but im just not feeling it.. it usually takes me a few listens to like songs like this... at first listen, i was itching to change the song.. i like slims verse.. i just dont like YB on here and I dont really like the chorus.. and who the hell is dude thats rappin at the end?????

9 Bedtime Stories
Now this right here is the shit i was lookin for.. this sound like an old 112 song that wouldda been everyones song.. Im def using this for a slow jam mix... please believe me... this song is sexy to me.. something you would whisper in the ear of a chick.. or slow dance to.. u just pull her closer to make sure she smell ur cologne and connect you to that scent the next time she smell it.. one of those.. i can see myself puttin this on repeat.. Just tellin you ladies, dont be around me and this song come on.. :) you know how i feel about BEDTIME anyways.. i got like 5 BEDTIME mixes..

10 U Got Me (Addicted)
The groove on this song is smooth as hell.. he a redeeming himself with these two songs.. Im sure we can all relate to this song about someone in their life.. its about being addicted to someone and the things they do.. Its a smooth, slow groove song.. I can just see someone driving in the rain, think of old loves and how hard it is to get over them.. i like this one.. prolly cuz i can relate..

11 Dont Say It
I knew a break up song had to be close.. I miss the whole 112 on this song.. I think q wouldda sounded good on this song.. Q usually brings more heart to the songs to me.. its still a pretty good song.. just seems like its missing something.. either in the beat or the singing.. but I dont think this song should be skipped.. its nice..

12 Leave U Alone
I dont really liek the fast pace, NeYo & Akon sounding RnB songs.. and thats what this is.. i understand the song.. and it just couldda been done in a differnet way.. this kinda sucks to me.. it sounds like a boy band song.. like backstreet boys.. or NSYNC.. im so cool on this.. i def skipped this one..

13 More (interlude)
This is someone playin the guitar and Slim singing along with it.. sound like some Unplugged type stuff.. sounds nice.. shows the rawness of his voice.. its nice.. couldda been a full lenght song..

14 Apologize
I knew this type of song was gonna have to be on here too.. he hits all areas pretty good on this cd.. its a pretty nice song.. the neats nice.. he sound nice.. gurls would love to hear their baby daddies to play this for them on their voice mails... do people even do that anymore?? ::shruggs:: but u get the point..

15 Love's Crazy
This is the fast paced RnB that I do like.. it seems like a song he prolly got some dance moves to.. it sound like Lloyds fast paced songs.. i like this.. the chorus is pretty cool too.. and then my nigga Big Boi hops on it.. and rips it.. made me like the song even more..

Over all I would give it a 3.75 outta 5 on a first listen.. I would def go back to some songs anf replay them.. I would def recommend that u listen for yourself

on the Cd of this that Im burning for myself.. Im addina few songs that I thought wouldda made it to the album that didnt, so i suggest you find these and play them too if you are a fan..

So Fly Remix ft Faith & Big Boi
Im guess they hopped on this bc they were on the cd.. but this si still a hot song.. it givesd the song more life.. with all new verses.. the beat is still jumpin to me..

U Won (or U Want?) ft Gucci Mane
Its labled as U Want.. but that dont make since.. Anyways.. this is Gucci and Slim rappin and singing over "Down For My Niggas" beat... yeah.. really.. its not too bad.. I like it.. i could see how some people might not.. but its my shit..


Daddys Lil Girl ft 8Ball
This is my shit too.. im salty this aint make the cd.. the beat is jumpin.. just like some ol good down south shit.. him and 8Ball ride the beat (pause) good... im sure this might appear somewhere.. either on a soundtrack or something..


WHAT U THINK?!?!?!?
