The raps aren't very original (mostly unison raps, with an annoying self-congratulatory trip on the opening cut). The problem is weak song material that often falls into mediocrity. Some of the song sources (Babyface, some Isleys) are impressive, but most of the songs were written by the guys and/or their exec. producer, Mike Conception, and those are pretty weak for the most part. (Do we really need yet another "I Want Your Body" song? What is that, the 45th song on that theme?)
