    I think this is one of the best ying yang twins cd yet. I thought it had a good mixture of songs and every song had a good beat!!

    I enjoyed all the ying yang twins cds so I guess this is no exception. the first half of the cd is a bit slow and R&B but the last part is good with something to dance to. but I guess if you can't dance or feel music then this cd is not the best for you. the only thing that I don't like is there are a lot of skits on the cd but that's no big deal

    The Ying Yang twins have definately 'brought it' on this their 2005 album! The album is undoubted genius reach 'Outkast proportions'! They tackle important social topics without being preachy or boring. The album could easily have been named 'Ode To A Whore' but it is funny, inventive and creative. A suprisingly exhilarating listen! From Social Commentators The Ying Yang twins have definately 'brought it' on this their 2005 album! The album is undoubted genius reach 'Outkast proportions'!

    Always liked the twins- but they lacked maturity. Here, they show it, creating some amazing results.

    Nice CD by the Ying Ying Twins. One of the years best and I am not a fan of the Group.

    yin and yang have definitely matured in this album as seen in "ode to a whore". lyrics are deep and the vibe is funky wit extra syrup. I love it When I play this album in my car, I turn it way up and people will just look at me like "what the f**K Branden!?". That gives me a hard on!! So for that, I'm giving the Yin Yang Twinz a big, phat 3.

    Prove[s] they have something in common with Common: They can be conscious without being soft. One review said that, proberly written by a person that honestly believes 50 Cent is not mainstream and sounds good on a mic. Ying Yang Twins have talent for making songs that sound exactly like all other Crunk songs. That is not a way to progress as an artist.

    At 77 minutes and 23 tracks, the sprawling album is weighed down by some filler and redundant numbers, but as a step forward for a party band riding on whatever the Dirty South sound of the moment is, it's surprisingly bold and accomplished.
