Editorial Reviews

While most 11-year-olds can only dream of growing up and following in their dads' footsteps, rap mogul Master P's son is already there. Romeo Miller's self-titled debut appealingly displays the pint-sized rapper's confidence on the mic, proving that the lil' man can comfortably hold his own amongst the adult members of his No Limit family. And this album is most definitely a family affair. The grownups have helped America's youngest chart-topper deliver a sound that's mature in outlook but positively geared toward the teenaged set. The rhymes focus on playin' ball, doing well in school, and keeping one step ahead of the girlies. Dad oversees the production, wisely combining instantly recognizable samples like the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" with trademark No Limit bounce beats. One of the album's highlights is uncle Silkk the Shocker's appearance on the remix of "That's Cool." As Romeo himself puts it, "It's like that, wodie?" Well, yes it is

5.0 out of 5 stars Lil' Romeo, the best and the youngest, July 16, 2001

With his first Album Lil' Romeo sho's that he can rap, and his rap is tight! The 18-Track album is produced by Myke Diesel and former Beats By The Pound member Carlos Stephens. "Make You Dance" has replayed Elements from Shaggy's "Angel" and the "That's The Way (I Like It)". It's featuring the No Limit East Group Afficial and Lil' Zane, the man who did "Callin' Me" with 112. "My First (remix)" is also an very tight track with vocals by 6 Piece. And the song "When I Get Grown" is a great one, too. A typical No Limit song is "Where They At" with his dad Master P. "Little Star" has a slow beat but it's with vocals by Allusion, the same that gave the vocals to "Make You Dance". A very slow song is the last one: "Take My Pain Away". It hast vocals by Suga Bear and is featuring with Lil' Zane again. "The Girlies" is a fast one, it's a party track. Everybody knows "That's Cool", but here is a Remix with Silkk The Shocker and Lil' Romeo's Cousin Little D. "Somebody's In Love" is a godd song, too. It has an asian melodie. It's a very tight Album and it's much better than Lil' Bow Wow! Lil' Romeo is the future!

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: Not to be taken seriously., July 23, 2003

For a real laugh, check out any five-star review for this... erm, "album".

Back in the late 1980's, rap groups like NWA and Public Enemy stood for something. They spoke out against police brutality and the deteriorating quality of their city. They had something to say, and people listened. But, unfortunately, sometime in the early 1990's, rap became a complete joke. And now, we have some little third grader whining about multiplication tables and how he tried to kiss the little girl he had a crush on and got sent to time out. This, people, is the apocalypse in the form of music. (And I use the word "music" loosely.) Thankfully, REAL music still thrives on, and provides a great sense of relief for people who are sick of this tripe.

If you agree with me on this one, click "Helpful". If you don't, and actually LIKE hearing this kid cry about how some girl he knows has "cooties", click "Not Helpful".
