    It's a dubious album whose chief innovation is a guest appearance by Nelly Furtado.

    They haven't yet shown enough thrills in righteousness to challenge gangsta's dark, easy attraction. [Nov 2002, p.129]

    What can I say about PIN. I think it's an absolute classic. I listen to at least some of this album every day. I can't imagine what What can I say about PIN. I think it's an absolute classic. I listen to at least some of this album every day. I can't imagine what J5 could've possibly done to make this album any better.
