np: "Lapdance" - N.E.R.D.
i'm starting to think this album was one of the more over-rated of the past year. yes, it definately has some bangin' tracks on it and some damn good beats. but there are some songs on there... that just, phew, i can't get into at all. bland r&b singing with (for the 'tunes) half-assed production. granted, it's still better than 90% of urban pop radio, but i don't get all the adoration heaped on it by the critics. i enjoyed that Missy Elliot album a whole hell of a lot more.
