1.0 out of 5 stars
Lack of originality, December 6, 2002
This review is from: Jenny From the Block 2 (Audio CD)
Well, since this is a Jennifer Lopez song, so the riff must be a sample from some famous song. What could it be...ah, yes, The Beatnuts' "Watch Out Now"! Why does she always do that? "Ain't It Funny" remix used music from Craig Mack's "Flava in Ya Ear" (and that in itself may be a sample), "I'm Real" remix used Rick James's "Mary Jane", and "I'm Gonna Be Alright" remix is from Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad" (okay, to all younger fans, Luniz's "I Got 5 on It"). I personally think that it's to get more "black" fans because she's been criticized for being a sellout to white America. Either way, this song is wack. And don't get me started on her singing ability.

She is truly Wack beyond Words, November 24, 2002
This review is from: Jenny From the Block 2 (Audio CD)
I don't get Her overall success at all as for what She calls Singing.She is Pimping Her Old Neighborhood&has Brought Ben Aflack aboard.it seems all like Window Dressing too me.She wrecks a tight Beat that was a Jam for the Beatnuts a couple years back.the trip out thing about this song is that She is working with the Lox who use too work on Bad Boy Records which has Puffy-P-Diddy behind it who also use to be associated with J-Lo.small world huh?

I laughed until I cried...worth five stars just for that!, January 14, 2004
This review is from: Jenny From the Block 2 (Audio CD)
This is the funniest CD I have ever purchased in all my life.
I had to give it five stars because it is SO hysterically funny.
There she is, Jennifer Lopez, strutting her funky stuff showing off her diamonds and pearls and belting out, "...all the rocks that I got, I'm still Jenny from the block..."
I fell out of my wheelchair laughing, girl get REAL here!
You're not still Jenny from the block, you've moved on from that, who are you trying to kid?
I might have taken your song more seriously if you hadn't flaunted Ben Affleck on the video, tried to show your "normal" life and how "ordinary" you still were.
In all fairness though the song is quite catchy, I like the tune a lot, it's got a good steady beat to it but the lyrics, oh my ribs ache from laughing so much, they are so PANTS!
So Jenny from the Block, keep on singing songs like this, because if you do, you are going to make a lot of people happy, some us might even laugh ourselves into a coma.
I know I almost did!
