Jaheim also displays the same sentimental side that he showed on "Ghetto Love" with songs like "Backtight", "Special Day", "Long As I Live" and "Everywhere I Am". While he may have intentions of being a platonic friend, she is tempting him to think of her in other ways. The fellas will be able to relate to "Tight Jeans", as Jaheim tells a tale about one of his good female friends always coming around him wearing tight jeans. Blige's "Seven Days" from her "Share My World" CD does the production.
Both singers sound very well together and Malik Pendleton, who produced Mary J. "Beauty & Thug" features the queen of r&b/hip hop, Mary J Blige and brings pleasant results. However, with the old school feel to the song, this will still be one of your favorites. "Put That Woman First" covers territory that has been covered by R Kelly, "When A Woman's Fed Up" and Joe, "Treat Her Like A Lady". He was in trouble so much that he couldn't be focused in the relationship. "Let's Talk About It" follows the same line as Jaheim wants to talk to someone that he dealt with in the past and try to realize where they went wrong. "Diamond In Da Ruff" deals with a woman that Jaheim wish he would have treated better and now he realizes how much they could have had if he would have swallowed his pride and been a man about their relationship. The ladies will definitely be impressed with this CD. The majority of the rest of the songs deal with relationships and trying to find the right woman. While the song may not hit you like "Could It Be", "Fabolous" gets a strong point across and was definintely the right pick for the 1st single. As Jaheim can tell you, he knows how rough it was growing up and being a hardhead so he is trying to motivate children of today to not walk in the same path that he did. His 1st single, "Fabolous" is dedicated to the children coming up in the world today. From there, Jaheim does what he does best by lacing his fans with the street anthems and romantic melodies that he is known for now. "Still Ghetto" starts off with Jaheim and Duganz doing what they did on a few tracks on "Ghetto Love" by rappin' and singin' straight from the streets. With a title of "Still Ghetto" you would expect the same thing from his sophomore CD and ladies and gentlemen that is what you will get. My favorites included "Looking For Love", "Ghetto Love", "Remarkable" w/Terry Dexter, "Ready, Willing & Able", as well as the rest of his singles: "Just In Case" and "Anything" w/Next. I liked how Jaheim used his sharp "street" edge to his songs. "Ghetto Love" turned out to be one of my favorite r&b CDs of 2001. I was still hesitant in buying "Ghetto Love" but everyone that had purchased the CD gave me rave reviews so I decided to purchase my own copy. However, as I heard the song more often, I began to like the song more and Jaheim's voice wasn't that bad, as it reminded me of the infamous Teddy P singing "Love TKO", "Turn Off The Lights", or "Come Go With Me". I saw the song as just another new cat jumping into the r&b game. As I was watching his video, I wasn't too impressed with "Could It Be" at first. Watching BET's Midnight Love one night, I was introduced to a r&b singer named Jaheim.
