Star (702 Album)

Overall, they praised both Mario Winans and the Neptunes contributions to the album, and felt they managed "to create some haphazard hits here, lack of creativity aside". Sal Cinquemani from ''Slant Magazine'' was mixed in his review. Cinquemani praised the albums first half of mat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
