Producers Soulshock and Karlin had other ideas. I'm sure they are very talented, just not at producing music. A couple of the ballads aren't bad. They're not particularly good, just not as dreadful as some of the others. On most cuts, they successfully incorporate hip-hop banality, with the dual effect of making them predictably derivative and overpowering the vocals with which Tracie tries desperately to overcome the arrangements, if you can call them that.
Several songs feature that scratching effect, the kind records had by accident.
They seem to be intentional here. And if the scratching and familiar effects weren't enough, there's the obligatory rap-adulterated song. Hell, how it relates to anything. Let's face it, when a song is written by six persons, there is little likelihood it will be more than a boring amalgam. With not one great song, Tracie is a waste of her talent and your time.
