Mr. Foxx, what do you have for me this time around? The last album, I thought, had some gems, but also had some misses. There is no question that he is an extremely talented as an actor, comedian, musician, and R&B singer (just as long as he doesn't rap. See Steamin Beamen). However, that doesn't always translate into a good album, so what does this mean for Foxx?The album starts right in, no intro or other time-wasters, with "Just Like Me" with T.I. However, he loses some of his momentum with the second track, "I Don't Need It". He picks things back up a bit with "Number One (Let's Get Dumb)" with Lil Wayne, but, as you might expect, this track is a little annoying and best in small doses. Some of the more memorable tracks were the ones that were more contemporary. For example, the Kanye West and The Dream track "Digital Girl" or the T-Pain track "Blame It (On the Alcohol)". And don't forget the "Miss Independent" remix "She Got Her Own" featuring Ne-Yo and Fabolous, which starts off sounding great until Ne-Yo steps up and steals the show on the second verse...sorry Jamie. "Why" is another good track, but is during the trail-off part of the album. There definitely are some gems and I feel this one more than the last one.
7/10
