Music reviews of Forever
Music Review: It Has Its Moments........
Rating: 2 Stars
This album is what many would refer to as an example of the "sophomore slump." On Puff Daddy's second opus, all is not as well as was in "No Way Out." On this release, he somewhat disposes of the "and the Family" ethic(i.e. the absence of fellow artists The Lox--for obvious reasons---,Black Rob, and partner in crime Mase, whose only moment on the album is backup on "I'll Do This For You.") to go for his own. It appears that the trend he set with his tireless song sampling has worn thin, in the wake of those producers seeking original beat creativity, like Timbaland, Mannie Fresh, and Swizz Beats. The album suffers that way, without all of the bad boys moving in silence and violence. Lyrically, he's unable to hold the album, not always ranking with his many guests. However, strength can be found in the various cameo appearances throughout. Some examples are everyone's delivery in the posse cut "Reverse"(P.D. doesn't falter when it comes to the group efforts--but I'm not really feeling "Journey Through the Life" on the other hand--his verse is so-so), Jay-Z's top notch mic rippin' in "Do You Like It, Do You Want It," Kelly Price's terrific vocals on "I'll Do This For You," and R. Kelly's performance in "Satisfy You." However, I noticed that sometimes, in his solo joints, that Puff showed something of a improvement lyrically that was unseen in the collaboratory atmosphere of the "No Way Out" album. Perhaps the most dominant example is "I'll Do This For You," in which he speeds up his flow and has increased clarity, which adds to the enjoyability of the song. Althogether, that song is all good, and Mase's "yep yep" and other vocals limited to the background has a cool effect. And I already mentioned Kelly Price's singing. Also, there's "Fake Thugs Dedication" with Redman, in which P. Diddy meshes unusually well with the MC Lyte "Paper Thin" sample. To hear Redman do a hook, with his long line of guest appearances(which are awesome), is a really good change, considering that the one here is really good and fits him well. Lastly, I think that there's one track on the album(perhaps the best one) which conveys the all-around mood of the cd. That track is "P.E. 2000" with Hurricane G. I think that it's an excellent remake of the Public Enemy song(a masterpiece), due especially to the speeded-up tempo which works very well with Puff's verbal delivery. In the song, he is defiant, confident, focused in staying on top as can be told with the lyrics. G's intro isn't as good as Flavor Flav's was on "P.E. No. 1," but her simple utterance of the number "1" makes for an unforgettable hook. The title of the album is somewhat contradictory, because for some people(especially the reviewers here), the tracks don't provide the longevity on the level of "Forever." But he won't stop, cause he can't stop......And with the flack and critical reviews and straight out beef that he gets from people(including other artists) and his long line of successes, when he utters "You think i'ma come this far and let you niggas stop me now? Haha picture that....number one, number one, number one," you can truly believe him and look at his braggadocio and confidence with admiration and amusement.
Description of Forever
Forever by Puff DaddyThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
When MC Lyte rapped "Beat biter / Dope style taker / Tell you to your face you ain't nothing but a faker," she wasn't referring to Puff Daddy, but those words may have echoed in the brains of many non-NY producers--especially those from New Orleans and the Bay Area--upon hearing the bad boy don's second solo effort, Forever. For much of the latter part of the '90s, many New York rappers have included a couple of token G-funk or bounce-influenced tracks on their albums, but on Forever, Puff takes it to extremes, with almost half the album falling into that category. One would think that Puff's lazy, unskilled drawl would fit perfectly with the foreign sonics, but instead, his mumbling is more blatant, twitching erratically like the proverbial fish out of water, especially on cuts like "What You Want" and "Satisfy You" (where he loops the Luniz' classic "I Got 5 On It"). Where he sticks to the usual plan, he pulls it off steadily, and on "Journey Through the Life," a powerful posse cut with Nas, Beanie Sigel, and Lil' Kim, he's created a NY thug cut par excellence. Just goes to show you can't teach an old producer new beats--even if he pays royally for them. --Jon Caramanica
