Pretty Ricky pretty much have sex on the brain, and with hits like "Grind with Me" and "Your Body" off 2005's Blue Stars winning the Miami foursome overnight superstardom, you sort of can't expect them to mess with the formula. That explains the obvious if-it-ain't-broke approach the boy-band of brothers took on this, their sophomore CD: If song titles like "Up and Down" and "Push It" don't say it all, lyrics, as in the unapologetically raunchy ones to "Personal Trainer," most certainly will. Look beyond the sleaze (some of it borderline sweet, as in the line "I've been thinkin' about you all day/In a nasty, passionate way" from "So Confused"), and what you'll find on Late Night Special is a whole lotta talent, though. Pretty Ricky is the current decade's answer to Jodeci, with a little Bone Thugs thrown in; "On the Hotline" brings the heat of the latter, and "Make it Like it Was" steps up with the taut hooks of the former. --Tammy La Gorce --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I love this CD!

I tried hard not to like Pretty Ricky when Bluestars came out, because my then 14 year-old stepdaughter adored them. I overheard some of the songs she listened to and, though I would have preferred she NOT listen to their raunchy lyrics, I had to admit that they are good at what they do and display a reasonable amount of talent.

I got Late Night Special yesterday and listened to every song. This CD is hot from beginning to end! Having successfully passed the sophomore album hurdle, Pretty Ricky has demonstrated that they possess true staying power.

Depending on what you wanted to hear depends on which content you bought. If you brought the Explict verison of course you are going to hear something that deals with sex on every song. Duh. These guys are 21 what else would they be sing about. If you wanted to hear something more soothing and less about sex buy the clean version. As Baby blue said " the clean is for songs about love and being in love, the expicit is for making love"

Awful, awful, awful lyrics....why does it have to be all about SEX. Can we sing about something else....why do lyrics today have to be so raunchy, just straight up nasty! Are they that crazed for SEX. Teens today need to know that other things exist other than sex, violence, and drugs...there's nothing "special" about this at all.
