Okay, I know I'm probably going to be labeled a hater or something to that effect, but SOMEONE has to tell it like it really is since some folks use these reviews to determine whether or not they should buy an album, right?

First things first, I respect Heather "Double H" Hunter for approaching this album with a respect for the craft. But this album is nowhere close to 5 stars. I even see a Top 1000 Reviewer giving this 5 stars......that blows my mind. The beats are decent (courtesy of DJ Premier, Scott Storch, etc...), but they sound like throw away beats from an old Field Mob album or something. The skits and interludes are corny/horrible and they add nothing to the album. And even if you can get past all of these issues, the fact is Heather Hunter has no skill on the mic. Look at some of the lyrics from her first single (So Serious):

"...yeah, I'm a fancy broad / but try to cross me and I'm on you hard..."

"..I find y'all funny / gonna laugh at me while I get the money / watch you wanna be a rapper now / f*ck y'all haters / mad at my style..."

And the hook is godawful: "So serious / so sincere / so curious / so beware / It's not a problem / I can handle this, yo / It's not a issue of who you f*ckin' with / no"

Come on, the evidence speaks for itself. No self respecting fan of rap music can look at that and honestly call it hot. Let's be real. And this is the 1st single.....the song that's supposed to make the fans go out and buy the album. You have to be kidding. As far as the other songs, too many sound the same. One listen to "Suk-A" feat. Akinyele will have you laughing too hard to even finish listening. It contains one of THE WORST hooks I've ever heard in my life. Basically, Heather Hunter remade the same song 18 times....and apparently she's fooled 3 people (the other reviewers) so far. Even Mr. Cee's endorsement of the album is a joke because, if you're paying attention, you'll notice that he isn't actually saying anything.

I usually reserve some space in my reviews to highlight the positive aspects of an album, but I simply cannot think of any. Okay, some of the beats aren't totally wack. DJ Premier hooks Double H up with a good beat on "Freak Like Me". It's too bad Heather couldn't stay on beat though. And Scott Stroch (who is becoming more and more predictable) does a decent job on the boards for "Don't Stop", but Heather does nothing with it.

Is Double H: The Unexpected a 5 Star album? Only if you're judging this by her looks. Otherwise, it's probably more useful as a drink coaster. If this is classic to you, then you have no idea what classic rap sounds like. This album struggled to get the half a star that gave it. In short, this album is one royal stinker. Avoid this album at all costs. Hopefully she'll step up her lyrics and pick better beats the next time around. There you have it folks, that's the truth. Now bring on the unhelpful votes.

Standout Tracks: Don't even kid yourself.

PS - Ms. Wheeler, exactly what streets are feeling Heather's first single?

Dont get it twisted Heather Hunter is not a rapper she is a piss poor imitation of one. But if you had to consider her as a rapper then HH is the worst female rapper since Kevin Federline (lol!). The only postive side of the side of this album is the the beats provided by Scott Storch, DJ Premier and Aaron Freedom Lyles. HH couldnt rap her way out of a wet paper bag but Im pretty sure she could f--k her way out one easily! She couldnt rap on beat to save her life and guest appearances by Mister Cee and Akinyele make you lose any respect you had for these two. HH needs to stick to porn and leave rap to the experts!

I am not the biggest rap fan,but I do like some.I love it when rap causes the listener to get caught up in the beat and fills him/her with emotion i.e rage,passion... SOMETHING!

This poor excuse for a music cd didn't do anything at all.

The lyrics were very generic(it reminded me of old school 80s rap)

The beats were nothing special,in fact;they were LAUGHABLE at times because they were so bad!

There is only one reason that Heather Hunter sold copies of this cd.Her looks and her past.Since she was a pornstar,it wouldn't suprise me if she did a few "favors" to get this crap released and promoted.

To HH and all (or more like the FEW) HH supporters;not liking something that sucks doesn't make you a hater............. it makes you HONEST!!

It would be alot better without the little talking in between takes. I enjoyed the song '4 seconds' which was the only good song to me on the album. A few other songs are just okay. It seems like it was rushed. I'm looking for the next one which can't be worst but hopefully alot better.

HEATHER HUNTER IS A TREMENDOUS TALENT. THIS ALBUM TOTALLY JAMS."GIRL ON GIRL" & "FREAK LIKE ME" ARE TOTALLY HOT.HEATHER HAS A GREAT SOUND AND SMOOTH FLOW.DEFINATELY WORTH LISTENING TO.

Former adult film star Heather Hunter has launched her solo rap career with the release of her "The Unexpected." First things first, Heather can flow and she has spent 7 years perfecting her craft. "The Unexpected" opens up with the fast uptempo song "4 Seconds." This song is followed up by "Wassup." Man..the production is CRAZY on this song. Heather and Akinyele get nasty in the song "Suck-A."

Heather let some of her partners do some writing on the album but she wrote the song "Girl on Girl" along with Tavonia Taylor. Although Heather didn't write all the songs, it's clear that she embodies the message of the songs. The album includes production by Aaron Burns-Lyles,Fantom the Beat, DJ Premier, and one of the hottest producers of the moment-Scott Storch among others. Guest artists on the album include Akinyele, Madison Taylor, Chalu and Erin Yes. Heather's long time friend Janet Jacme is featured on the interlude "My Toolbox."

One of the hottest songs on the album is the first single "So Serious." This song is mad hot and the clubs and the streets are really feeling this song. Please don't make the mistake and discount Heather as another actor just dropping an album for the sake of it. Her album is fire. Another really good song on the album is "Freak Like Me." Good production, a nice flow and interesting lyrics. Heather's on screen confidence is evident in her lyrics. This is an enjoyable album and I will keep it in rotation for a long time to come. Heather (Double H) can hang with any female rapper in the game. The limited edition CD includes a bonus DVD with the video for "So Serious." Bravo Heather! I hope she releases another album soon, especially since this one was a long time coming!
