On his second album, includes a few radio-friendly rap-R&B hybrids ('Between You and Me,' 'Put It on Me,' 'I Cry'), which are then filled out with the same style of -style hardcore rap that characterized his debut album, (1999). Whereas that album had featured some prominent guests from the Def Jam stable (, ), is primarily an in-house affair, featuring the extended Murder Inc. The result is an uneven album comprised of crossover-R&B singles and hardcore rap filler; even though the commercial prospects are improved, isn't any more satisfying than had been.
