"Forever" might need a few more months, April 14, 2004
This review is from: Forever (Clean) (Audio CD)
When he released his first album entitled "No Way Out" in 1998, Sean "Puffy" Combs was designated as a new talent in the rap industry. This critically acclaimed album was all that it was cracked up to be. With hit tracks such as "It's all about the Benjamins" and "Can't Nobody Hold me Down," Puffy went on to sale more than 10 million copies worldwide, paving the ground for his way to stardom. He is known for sampling many old hit songs and transforming them into a new style of music. And it made him big. As CEO/Chairman of Bad Boy Entertainment, Puffy took many artists in and transformed them into superstars such as: Notorious B.I.G. (aka Biggie Smalls) and Mase. But with the sudden death of close friend Biggie and the announcement of rapper Mase leaving the rap business, Puffy had to step it up.
This album was not fresh as the first, and not nearly as close as to what he could have accomplished.
Most of the tracks in this album are monotonous, and it seems as though he is radiating a lethargic feeling to his listeners. There are tracks such as "Satisfy You (Feat. R. Kelly)" that are smooth sounding and lyrically synchronizing, but many of his tracks are reminiscent of the first. He does have, however, a strong cast of featured guest artists such as Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Redman, and Bizzy Bone. If you really liked the first album, don't have your hopes set so high on this album.

Nothing at all..., November 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Forever (Clean) (Audio CD)
I've listened to many Albums in my life, and only a few times (this was one) I really regret it! Puff Daddy takes good old songs, and makes bad old songs of them. If you want HipHop, take Eminem or Dre....this Album is nothing at all!
