At a time when the music marketplace is flooded with carbon copy rappers rhyming over recycled hip-hop beats, a new generation of talent is poised on the cusp of the come-up. Not since the Jackson 5 has the world witnessed a band of musical brothers whose high energy and artistic ability epitomize the phrase blood is thicker than water. That is, until this quartet of Miami-bred kinfolk appeared. Pleasure, Slick 'Em, Baby Blue, and Spectacular comprise the hip-hop ensemble known as Pretty Ricky, and they have emerged with a unique flair, coupled with the discipline and tenacity that breeds chart-topping success.

BLUESTARS.......2007-04-10
Pleasantly surprised..........2007-04-05
Not only am I impressed that they sing and rap, instead of relying on outside artists to come in for cameos to sell singles, but just the composition of the songs themselves got me. They don't use crazy trendy club beats to sell.. every track has SO many layers... it's amazing to listen to. I honestly love every song on this album, and if you only know the singles "Your Body" and "Grind With Me" you should check these ones out:
1. Call Me
2. Nothing But A Number
3. Grill 'Em
4. Shorty Be Mine
5. Can't Live Without You
Yeah, they are definitely obsessed with sex... but WHO CARES? This album is on constant rotation with me... especially when I've got company!

I agree with reviewer Hakeem when he said that all these five-star reviews must be from people that are on the group's street team or something. Pretty Ricky consists of four people: three rappers (Spectacular, Diamond "Baby Blue", and Slick -- and I use the term "rapper" loosely) and one singer (Pleasure). The problem with this album is that these are the horniest AND most talentless guys I have ever heard of, and that is a terrible combination. The lead single "Grind With Me" is really called "Grind On Me", and it's one of the nastiest things I have ever heard, but "Playhouse" isn't far behind. And "Nothing But a Number" is very, very statutory.
Also annoying is their use of dated lyrics, like "If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right" on "Grind On Me", or "If I'm lyin', I'm flyin'" on "Grill `Em" (what does that even mean, anyway?). The guys also have a habit of continually yelling certain adlibs, like "FROM THE BACK!" on "Get a Little Closer", and "Yes, sir!" on "Your Body". Also, while Pleasure's singing isn't HORRIBLE, it's hard to listen to after all that wack rapping. Actually, his chorus on "Shorty Be Mine" is sure to cause you DISpleasure.
Speaking of that song, things are equally unimpressive when the guys DON'T talk about sex, like on "Never Let You Go", "Can't Live Without You", and the obligatory bling-blingin' songs "Chevy" and "Grill `Em". But in the long run I guess all that doesn't matter because nobody cares about Pretty Ricky any more and as my brother said, they're probably now back to working at Wendy's. If I ever come across the Bluestars CD again, in the words of "Your Body", dammit, I'll beat it up.

Album Description
The group Pretty Ricky is made up of four siblings. The brothers are young, handsome and very smart. Baby Blue, Slick, Spectacular and Pleasure started exploring the music scene seven years ago with total support and encouragement from their father. These young men have grown tremendously over the years. Their delivery is solid, they are excellent dancers, and they know how to work a microphone and can get a crowd going.Customer Reviews:
go buy the unedited version.......2005-12-29
Its ok........... .......2005-11-26
Hi. It's me again. i really liked "Your body" But, they don't have that song on the CD. "Grind on me" was good. Pleasure is sexy. That's all. Personally, i like Bobby Valentino (My boo) better. Pretty Ricky is ok.
peace
Clean Version is great too!!.......2005-11-23
Pretty good for Pretty Ricky.......2005-10-04
I mainly got a copy for the "Grind with me" song and hoped the rest of the album was as to the same standard.
My favourite songs are Grind with me, Chevy and Nothing but a number.
The album is a mix of singing and rap and i think this works well, A bonus is that i think the band in some of the songs sound like CHINGY and crew but this works well for me.
I LOVE IT.......2005-09-07
