 3 Stars For His R&B, 1 Star For His Rapping
Submitted on: 2007-11-30 |

| If Tyrese sticks to being an r&b artist I feel he could have a long and strong career but not so much as a rapper. I enjoy songs on his r&b disc such as "One", "Come Back To Me Shawty", "Better To Know", and "Signs Of Love Makin' Part II", this is where he shines, but on his rap disc it was mostly your average filler and a million guest appearances that really add nothing worth listening to, I only liked "Roses" and the Outro track of "Alter Ego". Do music fans a favor Tyrese and stick to being an r&b artist, doing that Black Ty stuff is just gonna bring flack. |

| Bought this for the wife when it dropped. She had the last CD and this one by far is better..really can't spk for the rap side as I just don't believe in Tyrese as a rapper. Maybe its unfair to not give the rap side an honest listen, but hey it's my CD. In any event, this is a must have for Tyrese fans and R&B fans who like a little edgier(??) and real talk CD, not cheesy at all, can't really say there was any filler to this CD (I can't stand songs for the sake of songs on a CD!!). Seems as though his maturity as an artist is showing thru on this CD. Good job to you Tyrese. |

Ok lets get this out of the way 1st, the second disc isn't that good. Its hip hop and not really particularly good hip hop. But who buys a Tyrese album to listen to hip hop anyway??
So on to the 1st CD...... Who on earth said this cd has no standout tracks???? If you like slow jams this cd has not just one or two good ones, the whole disc is packed with them!!
Come back to me shawty....amazing!!!
Better to know....amazing!!!
Better than sex.......amazing!!!
Lights on......amazing!!!
one......amazing!!!
Hurry up......amazing!!!!
His voice is second to none and the above songs are just my favorites, the others are also good. But seriously this is one of my favorite albums along with Donell Jones' Where i wanna be and Dru Hill's Dru World Order.
Get it!! Or at least listen to the songs 1st and make your own mind up.
I never write reviews but after seeing so many negative ones i couldn't believe it and just had to write this.
Enjoy |

Tyrese- Alter Ego
Submitted on: 2007-06-20 |

I really dont know why so many people ragged on this album. There is alot to be said about it thats for sure. But in my opinion i think it was almost as good as 2000 Watts. I mean the R&B album on Alter Ego alone could win a grammy. Even though it only lasts ten tracks. But it is still his best R&B music to date, but thats only if you grade the R&B disc by itself. Because even though i do think that Tyrese can flow with his rapping game, i dont think he did this album right. I think it would have been smarter to do a whole R&B album with a few rap tracks scattered in the mix. Cause like i said, his R&B songs this time around are flawless. But with the Rap disc, i believe he should have tried to stick with tracks similar to the Kanye West type of beat on "Roses", which could have easily been a Kanye track. I mean "Roses" is a really good rap track, along with the smooth melodic Game assisted "Ghetto Dayz" which will be that summer jam being blasted out of car windows. On "Ghetto Dayz" you can really tell that Black Ty is speaking from expieriences. You can really feel his flow on that track and he did a good job with the writing. And Game really killed that track to. But those are really the only two standouts on the rap disc. And the thing about the rap disc is i think he went a bit far with the whole "Black Ty" thing. I mean, Tyrese is one of my favorite artists of all time, but i think that the whole Black Ty thing was overboard just a little bit. The man can flow, i wont deny that, but just try to not be so gangsta with it next time around, and give us more R&B. Speaking of R&B though, that disc is flawless. The single "One" could possibly be his best single ever, its one of those songs that just makes you wanna sing. And then there is the heart wrenching "Come Back To Me Shawty" which he really lets his vocals ring on this track which is a good thing. And then there is the Johnta' Austin written "Gotta Get You" which is that story of man putting everything into a relationship but she still manages to push him away, which everyone can relate to in some way. And then there is the R.Kelly produced "Hurry Up" which is one of the many baby making tracks on this disc, and it has that R.Kelly signature raindrop beat. I mean like i said the R&B disc is Tyreses best work to date, and you can play the disc all the way through. Overall the album as a whole is good, but if he would have choosen a few other rap tracks instead of the hardcore gangsta one and made some more mellow beats that would have been good, or if he would have made a whole R&B album with some rap tracks mixed in that would haven been cool to. Buy it if not for the rap, you have to get the R&B disc because it is truly flawless. BUY IT!
