I have been a fan of Chico's music since "Talk To Me" when I was in middle school. When I heard Long Time No See I felt he had stepped out of the shadow of his family and was a serious artist. I loved it. When I first heard The Game I must say I was not happy, but I bought it anyway and I am glad I did. It is great and Chico did not try to dupicate Long Time No See. The only disappointment is the song with Bobby Brown. I especially like Everybody knew but me, Sorry and Listen to your man. When Chico sings I believe what he is feeling. He reminds me of Marvin Gaye and I can see why he identifies so much with Marvin. Marvin was a divided soul and so is Chico it is reflected in the great music they've done. I do wish Chico would have stuck to the original version of Heart, Mind and Soul which was originally done by El DeBarge on his Heart Mind and Soul Album. Anyway go out and support Chico, artist like him, D'Angelo and Angie Stone are not always mainstream but they deserve our support so that they can keep on making great music.

I LISTEN TO CHICO'CD (THE GAME) AND IT IS ALL THAT!!! I READ A REVIEW IN THE VIBE MAGAZINE AND THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE JOB CHICO DONE ON TILL TOMORROW!! WHEN I READ THIS ARTICAL,IT ALMOST STOPPED ME FROM BUYING THIS CD, BUT WITH PAST EXPERENCE WITH CHICO, I PICKED IT UP ANYWAY!!! TILL TOMORROW IS A SONG DONE BY MARVIN GAYE, AND CHICO SUNG THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!! THE DEBARGE FAMILY HAS A HISTORY WITH SINGING OLD MARVIN GAYE SONG'S, AND NONE OF THEM HAS LET ME DOWN YET!! SEXUAL, EVERYBODY KNEW BUT ME, THE EDGE, SORRY, GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT, THE GAME,WHEN CAN I SEE YOU AGAIN,LISTEN TO YOUR MAN!!! ALL THESE SONGS ARE "SLAMMING" BUT THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS CD IS "YOUR WAY"!!!!! THIS IS A SONG THAT MAKE ME WANT TO HAVE A JAM SESSION WITH CHICO, AND HIS BAND!!! THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 8 MIN'S LONG,AND SO DOES THE EDGE!!! THIS IS ONE CD THAT YOU CAN PLAY WITHOUT SKIPPING A SONG!!!! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO CHICO!!! YOU GOT GAME!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Here Me Now!!!, August 23, 2000

I think that a lot of people were disappointed with Chico's follow-up to "Long Time No See"; granted he strayed into more of the rnb foray this time round (particularly evident through "Listen to your man" and "Give u what u want") which are great tracks, but not tracks that can really compete with "Love Still Good" from his first solo effort.

Having said that, a lot of other reviewers have come out here and dubbed this album a 'must have'. Personally, I think that there are certain tracks which are a more 'must have' as opposed to the album, as a whole. The Brian Mcknight produced "When Can I See You Again" - which is the greatest track on the album (awesome!), and "I'm Sorry" stand out as 2 of these essentials.

I think that this is a great album to lead someone into a more mature genre of music (like Jill Scott, D'Angelo, Eric Benet, etc) because it tends to transcend both barriers making everyone happy.

Thanx 4 ur time
