3.0 out of 5 stars Better Album Than What Is Said, January 11, 2007

Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves. This albums' only downfall was that MC Brains' manager Michael Bivins did oversaturate his debut with watered-down R&B. Lyrically, MC Brains wasn't so "wack" (if you're one who actually knows lyrical skill when you hear it).

The first single "Oochi-Coochie" should have been a record for Bivins then signees 1010 (a two kid rap group), even thought it was a gold certified single. It was just too immature for a 18 year old when you think about an 18-year-old LL Cool J who released an album called "Bad" when he was 18. The second single "Everybody's Talking Bout MC Brains" was better, as far as rap songs go. Nice beat for dancing, lyrically, he hit the track runnin but sounded like during the session, Biv might have told him to tone it down and leave out a third verse and just shout out all the Biv connected artists. "Brainstorming" is the best of the two ballads on the album!! Should have been on a Boyz II Men album, though but, MC brains fits the mood with the jaded-but-still-cool-as-hell flow. "Boyz II Men (The Sequel)" was a good R&B record but, I do agree, the singing sound like a bad talent show audition and again, sounded like it should have been on a Boyz II Men album. Maybe if this were a PM Dawn album, the rapper-who-can-also-sing style would have been ok but, MC Brains is no singer, and THAT is what made this situation a "no-no" for a rap album. Unless you were INTENTIONALLY making a joke of it ala Mase featuring Puff Daddy on "Jealous Girl" remake slaughter.

The rest of the albums songs like "Brains Goin Cra Ze" is ok. Unfourtunately, after you have heard all the other songs, you might not be tempted to even listen to them which can throw an album off for some fans. Yes, even for its time, the production wasn't really inspiring, which I agree. Rico Anderson sounded too much like he was trying to be Dallas Auston who would have made this album a banger. The two biggest potential hits actually should have been credited to, and appeared on other artists albums as ____________ (featuring MC Brains) ala, "Why Me Baby" Keith Sweat (featuring LL Cool J).

"Oochie Coochie", "Everyboy's Talking Bout MC Brains", "Brainstorming", "Boyz II Men (The Sequel)", "Brains Goin Cra Ze", and even probably "G String" is worth the price of buying the CD reguardless of its shortcomings.

3 stars from me.
