This is going to flop and I honestly cant feel sorry for her. Her music is so subpar these days and half assed.

She needed a stronger single.. Everytime The Beat Drop might have been a hit for a sexy 18 year old newcomer but people don't want that from Monica.

It sounds like it should have been the follow up single that Cherish released after "do it to it." People ecpect more than a gimmick single from monica.

Show: Live with Regis and Kelly Date: Monday - October 2, 2006 R&B singer Monica performs a song from her new album. Not sure if it's official or from a mixtape but there's audio of ETBD featuring TI and Young Jeezy on Mo's myspace page. The beat is still the same. www.myspace.com/monicamusic

The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson? Someone of Monica's supposed stature should not be performing there.
And how sad is it that people are unintrested in the album to the point of no one caring to change the thread title lol

Its not like it matters but at least she will be performing on television. Monica really doesnt have a "stature" anymore so she needs to be happy performing anywhere that people can see on tv.

From what I heard from the snippets I'm gonna buy this album. I love the Swizz Beatz joint lol! Different from what he gave to Beyonce and Jojo.

I am still a bit pissed she only hittin us off with 10 tracks but if its a "Toni-10" and not a "Beyonce-10", I think I ain't gon mind too much at all.

The album leaked. I like it. Which is why I wish I had more than 10 tracks to bump.

Guess I'm the only one liking it. You're wrong about that. The album is filled with top-notch production. It's a solid R&B album. I think it might be better than "After The Storm".

It IS better than ATS. It's a solid 10 songs. So far, I'd been the only one to leave a positive comment about the album but I'm glad I'm not alone.

A Rep for Monica's camp is saying "Sideline Ho"/"Sideline Chick" is the 2nd single, but she won't confirm anything to the station.

Sideline Chick? blah.
btw Missy Elliott needs to step up her production game...the 3 or so songs that she produced all sound too similar dont you guys think?

Yea. That sample heavy stuff from her is getting kind of redundant. The surprise of the album comes from Swizz Beatz and Jermaine Dupri. Raw and Get Away are productions that I havent heard from either in a while.

I've grown to not doubt this artist anymore. I don't really think she is gonna pull much more than 125-150k first wk, but she will end up platinum at the end...as always...

Monica The Makings of Me (J) R&B
With so many "done wrong" diatribes to her name, it seems Monica can't brush her teeth without being let down by a slippery boyfriend. At the ripe old age of 26, the singer hints at mature contentment on her fourth CDas on the cozy Curtis Mayfield-sampling "A Dozen Roses (You Remind Me)"while retaining some angry edge. "Sideline Ho," meanwhile, scores with tough-talking venom. But she falters when between those two states, on middling ballads like "My Everything." Still, Me is a solid addition to her quietly consistent career. B

I took a re-listen and now I only listen to like 4 songs on this album. Hell No!, Raw, Getaway, and Everytime the Beat Drops.
