"Thug in Me, Thug in You," featuring the late 2Pac, is a upbeat track about showing a woman just what thugs are made of, in every sense.Not burdened with ominous ballads, this collection shows a more flexible take on the duo's music making, from Timbaland's use of attention-grabbing vocal effects to the arrangements on "Game Face." Joining them for a few songs is Jodeci bandmate Devante Swing, marking an unofficial reunion of sorts. Though they're saturated with influences, ranging from Stevie Wonder to Sam Cooke to Bobby Womack to Otis Redding, with X the duo makes it apparent that the true roots of R&B are in gospel.
Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...Soul singing rich with a masculine weightiness that's missing in action from most of today's R&B....owing a clear debt to Otis Redding [and] Teddy Pendergrass...Vibe (1/01, p.140) - 3.5 discs out of 5 - ...Lithe, lush ballads and slow-groove workouts that showcase the singers' prowess....an album that stands with the best of modern R&B and should maintain and add to their fan base.
