SethBJul 9, 2002Easily the best Urban record this year: If you like tight, deep lyrics or innovative bumpin' beats and jams then this record has it all! I disagree with the Rolling Stone critic about, "this is the record Prince keeps trying to make" but it has the same incredible feel of Sign Of The Times without sounding anything like Prince.

Call it urban ethereal, grounded in gritty raps and coiled funk rhythms, bolstered by jazz keyboards, soaring vocals, and synthesizers.

UncutLong on rhetoric, short on melodic structure, it's hard going. [Dec 2002, p.150]

Powerful, beautiful, sensual and activist, this is the record Prince keeps trying to make.
