By the time Shabba released this sophomore Epic LP, his comedic sex machine persona was honed to perfection. From the opener, "Ting-a-ling"--a great uptempo dancehall jam--through the other 11 tracks, Xtra Naked lives up to its title with nonstop sex and microphone boasting. "Bedroom Bully" is fun, but, again, the duets with R&B artists, like "Slow and Sexy" with Johnny Gill, try too hard to cater to American tastes and come off as merely cheesy. Queen Latifah and Shabba in "What 'Cha Gonna Do?" seem to be voicing two different records. "Cocky Rim" is typically lewd, grimly so, with nary a hint of levitating wit. As for those over-the-top moans, groans, and "please don't stop's" in the background--puhlease, Shabba, puhlease! --Elena Oumano

4.0 out of 5 stars Rate music, please (this is for Richard), July 31, 2003

Richard, I respect your opinion, but I dont think it's fair to rate this cd only because the singer is ugly or not... It's true that shabba ranks is ugly, but I LIKE HIS MUSIC.
