Meg and Jeph's Late Reviews: Whatcha Say and More!

Jason Derülo
The Whatcha Say EP

Even though we are technically supposed to be reviewing the EP, the EP has “Whatcha Say” plus seven edits and remixes of the same song; whereas, we only listened to the one song. And we didn’t listen to it on the EP either. We listened to it on the U.S. Thanksgiving episode of Gossip Girl. (So intense!) However, we can only imagine that the “Wawa radio edit”, “acoustic version”, and the “Klubjumpers Remix” are just as heartfelt as “Watcha Say” the original version. But that was an excellent scene in an excellent episode of Gossip Girl. Thanks JD!

R. Kelly
Untitled

Meg: The thing I like about R. Kelly is how multi-faceted he is. Even though he is a player who is kind of famous for leaving the club with other men’s ladies, he is actually a true romantic who would be willing to settle down for the right girl. True it sometimes gets him into trouble, like when he marries fourteen year olds who go on tour with him (Rest in peace, Aaliyah), but as songs like “Pregnant” illustrate, sometimes all it takes is a “cutie” with an “incredible booty” to incite visions of white picket fences.

Jeph: True. That was a memorable song. Since R. Kelly is one of my favourite musicians, I feel I have to also give this one a little bit of a real review – instead of just a bunch of hilarious one-liners. So, the hits on this one are not as good as the hits on Double Up (unless they end up really growing on me later on), but the filler on this is better than the filler on Double Up. This album has no “I’m a Flirt”, no “Double Up”, and no “Real Talk”. Luckily, though, it also doesn’t have “I Like Love” (Double Up’s Canadian bonus track). Anyway, enough about Double Up. This album’s good too. You should buy it.

Meg: What do you mean “real review”? That was my real review of this album. Sheesh.

Juvenile
Cocky and Confident

Usually we are really predictable reviewers in that we like all hiphop and hate everything else, but with this album, we just can’t do it. This is bad, Juvenile. You have no reason to be cocky and/or confident. Hey Juvenile, you know what this album really needs? More songs about getting money and feeling good. From what we recall, there are none of those on this album. Or wait, are we mixed up? Was it actually that that’s all there is on this album? Get a new topic. We’re glad 50 Cent snatched your gold teeth (as immortalized in the historical Curtis Jackson composition “How to Rob”).
