This is easily one of my favorite CD's, which is saying alot considering ive got around 300 of them. TQ posesses a completely different style from just about any other r+b singer, sounding more like a thug poet than a booty-centric ladies-man. Throughtout the entire CD, he spins tales of gun fights, gang stories and compton love stories, usually the kind of content ud expect to find on an Ice Cube CD. But TQ pulls it off masterfully. While every song is worth a listen, he most moving ones are, of course, "Westside" (one of the best r+b songs ever), "They Never Saw Me Coming", "I Get Around", "Remembermelinda", and "Bye Bye Baby". Of course, TQ brings his share of rap artists featured, with E-40 on "Gotta Make That Money", Tray-Dee on "One More Lick", Too Short on "Your Sister" and Daz & Kurupt on "The Comeback". And lastly, check out his duet w/ Ericka Yancey on "When I Get Out", a very smoothe soul-induced track, one of the few that focuses almost totally on (the overly-abundant r+b topic of) love. TQ masterfully sews together tight cali beats and soft chimes with gangster stories. And he makes them sound GOOD. This album is like nothing else you'll ever hear in r+b, not until his next album finally comes to America (I expect huge things). So enough of my yapping: BUY THIS ALBUM!

If you like "They Never Saw Me Comin", check out: "City High", "Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - E. 1999 Eternal", "Musiq Soulchild - Ajuswanaseing", "Case - Open Letter"

They Never Saw Me Coming by TQ is without a doubt the best CD I have ever heard. I listen to all kinds of music and enjoy rap, r&b, and all the usual artists like dmx, dre, eminem, tupac, etc. but nothing i have ever come across is as good as this. I originally came across this cd only because of "westside" but after falling asleep listening to this cd one night i discovered the rest of the album. this cd is a mix of everything you could ever want in music. no kidding. Some people may call TQ vulgar or explicit, but he is not out of line at all with this album, it flows so incredibly well and unlike other rappers he does not use expletives for shock value or the such. he tells things like it is and there is not a single track on this cd that i do not like. Another note: I also have his newest album "the second coming" and it is okay, but nowhere as great as this.

Tq's album is the best ever from the westside. In his album he includes a variety of hard raps and songs about the real emotional struggles of a westside player. His album is unbelieveable, it is really a great cd. He really tells you about problems, as well as the hard westside style. GO GET IT NOW<<<you'll thank me>>>

Tha cd altogether is a tight piece of work, and I'll never get tired of listening to it. The phattest songs are, When I get out, One more lick, Darlin' Mary, bye bye baby and tha comeback. I think TQ could have done a much better job mixing in the rap with the r&b.

Nomatter what anyone says this album is brilliant!! It combines some good rap with sweet sounds and some catchy dancy beats! One More lick and Gotta Make That Money are the best songs! Definatly worth buying if your a true R&B and Rap fan!

This would be the 3rd or 4th time that I have bought this cd. Each time I buy it some one steals my copy. They don't sell it locally, and most places I have found this cd they wanted 20 plus dollars. I am very happy with the CD and the time it took to get to my house. Thank you

Alright This Album Was A Lot Better Than I Expected From Looking At The Track Names. I Loved Every Song On Here, My Favorites Are Better Days, Bye Bye Baby, The Comeback, And My Fav On The Album RememberMelinda. I Recommend This Album To Any Fan Of R&B Or Hip-Hop Music

Okay people dont even bother reading the 1-3 star reviews. This is a must have for r&b fans.

This is an excellent cd. I can still listen to it over and over without tiring of it. My favorite song on the cd is (surprise) Westside. If the World was Mine is also a great song. However, my very favorite TQ song is Westside (Denver version) which I can not find anywhere, I can't even download it from the internet. I heard this song first when I lived in Colo. Springs on a Denver radio station but I couldn't record it off the radio because the reception was too fuzzy at my apartment, I could only get this radio station in my car. If anyone has any idea how or where I can get a copy of this version of the song, please let me know.

This album is sooooo incredibly nasty. TQ has an incredible voice and can rap too. It is the best album to just smoke a fatty and chill with. Every single song on this album is nasty. Song number three is my favorite because he says exactly how life should be, it is how things should be, "if the world was mine, we would never have to leave the sunshine, and everybody be free to smoke weed with us, shouldnt even have to deal with one time, too many whips so we aint got time." u cant say it any straighter than that. This album is mad chill.
