Bottom-line: So blinded by contradictions.
Review: Hoping that the end of trash will be near. This album leads me to believe that groups with extra junk pawn it off on unsuspecting listeners as a dual disc album for more money. The “specialty” is how they can fool folks each time with such an old trick. Still trying to wonder what the ‘boom’ is.
If there was an album that allowed them to celebrate moving so far away from what they were before, it would be this album and the song “Imma Be.” Anyone excited to be on BET is clearly lost in the matrix of bullshit. “Ring-a-ling” is about booty calls and I’m still waiting to hit a song that’s good both lyrically and rhythmically. More hot beats to create droids that will bop to the music and ignore the elementary elements on this album.
This band believes that if they sneak in one or two songs with somewhat of a message and Fergie screeching on the track, that all will be forgiven. I’ll say no to that assumption to this media driven group. “Now Generation” seems like an irony considering what this group promotes and how they promote. The BamBam references make this less than a desired song that I would want to hear – contradictions and all.
Speaking of Pangæa – please leave trash outside. “One Tribe” seems like a naive song but then again I’ve been called a cynic before. The second CD ends the wonder on my part as the majority of the musical samples explains why some folks purchased this album. The songs, once again, reminded anyone over 30 of a good song since so many were sampled. 4.5 blades and a C- for an album that plays on nostalgia.

Kicking off this new segment for Bootlegged Reviews is the song Ah, Yeah! submitted by the indie artist, Flawless. This pop/dance single that has what it takes to get a party started and has a professional feel that many Indie projects lack. Coming from Queens, New York, Flawless shines on this track. Formerly signed to
Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
As many gleam over the multiple of things that has been added to her list of "deeds" which deed became her turning point. ... Negating her sexuality (that has little to do with her public actions as far as I'm concerned) what is really going on with her? ... She doesn't seem to read or comprehend some of the books she pushes through her "book club" being that two frauds have been discovered. She only "confronted" one of the frauds because the other media began to question her intelligence and if she and her cohorts even fact checked their information.
