There’s no number of stars that can save this album from aiming high, falling short, and still somehow being quite entertaining at moments along the way.- HipHopDX

It’s hard to blame B.o.B. for wanting to acclimate himself to a different scene. But the startling lack of creativity he exercises in doing so makes Underground Luxury easy to write off, and the duality that once powered crossover appeal is now hard to detect.- HipHopDX

On a sonic level, much of this album is strong but the identity and continuity are lackluster.- HipHopDX

Jackson's progressiveness and laser-aimed focus on perfection was always the foundation of everything he ever did and resonated through every song he ever made....Given the patch-work necessary to piece Michael together posthumously, it's impossible to imagine that this is a collection of songs Michael intended to deliver.- HipHopDX

Though The DeAndre's Way only has 10 tracks, it feels as if it has four or five too many.- HipHopDX

In a business where artists come and go with quickness, Flo has managed to remain relevant. Only One Flo will only strengthen Flo's relevance, but it will never be mistaken for a solid piece of art.- HipHopDX

Simply put, this album suffers from Beyonce syndrome--it does nothing to further the group's catalogue. Last time around, the Black Eyed Peas were exploring new territory, and the results were contagious. Now, it seems as though the group, particularly will.i.am, is stuck on auto-pilot.- HipHopDX

There are no surprises here, no growth shown, but the one thing worth crediting to Gucci and Waka is their consistency – the audience will know what to expect, and as long as that is all that they expect, their expectations will be fulfilled.- HipHopDX

No Boys Allowed doesn't match its polished predecessor success a whole project. The songwriting feels more in line with her R&B/Pop peers than anything else.- HipHopDX

There is more to Black Rob than "Whoa," but there is nothing that quite lives up to it on Game Tested, Streets Approved.- HipHopDX

At times tasteful and other times tasteless, Pluto demonstrates a bravado that knows no shame.- HipHopDX
