2000 Watts [Enhanced] [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
"Singer, Model, MTV VJ, Actor = Superstar," reads an insert included in the press packet for 2000 Watts, the follow-up to Tyrese's self-titled 1998 debut. Since when did being mediocre at everything one does add up to superstardom? Granted, the 22-year-old from Watts, California, sports the chiseled cheekbones and scrumptiously rock-hard abs it takes to excel at the "Model" portion of his equation for fame. But as far as the other components go, it might serve Tyrese well to stay away from the endeavors that require talents in any departments besides the, uh, visual ones. 2000 Watts plays like an amalgam of all the things wrong with R&B today. It practically bursts at the seams with Tyrese's shameless self-promotion (which becomes painful on the audacious gospel interlude, "Lord You Control Me," as he sings, "Thank you Jesus / Out of all the people in Watts / You sent me out there to represent for my people") and banal references to flossin' and blingin'. Tyrese gets no help from ultra-blah beats provided by top producers like Rodney Jerkins, Babyface, and the Underdogs, who realize that anyone with pecs as toned as Tyrese's really doesn't need strong grooves to sell records. --Sylvia W. Chan

Tyrese- 2000 Watts (4.5 Stars).......2007-06-20

Ty really did himself some good on this album. Because his first was a dissapointment, but this one litterally knocks his old one right out the park. And its not even close. I mean the production is what really stands out on this album from the last. Because like i said in that review, his voice was never the problem and never will be. Because his voice is the perfect combination of strength and suave. And the writing is WAY better to. I mean everything you could imagine. From the timeless first single "I Like Them Girls" that gets the party started the minute the first note drops to the timeless song of sorrow "I'm Sorry" which i am sure will have many other men like myself almost brought to tears. Yes i said it brought to tears. And then there is the Babyface written and produced "There For Me (Baby)" which you will likely find yourself singing at work. "Fling" is that song that everyone will be grooving to and at the same time it has a good meaning, its a song of him simply saying lets make this more than a fling, lets make our love last. And then there is the super sexy raindrop coated "Housekeepin'". I mean this album has so many more strong points then his last, this is definetly not a sophmore slump. There is something for everyone on this album, and in my opinion its the R&B album of the year...easily. So trust me, buy this album its that good!!!

B+

Decent follow up but still a bit of a sophmore slump.......2006-12-29

Tyrese burst onto the scene in 1998 with two sure fire classic slow jams Sweet Lady and Lately that would become classics. There really wasn't any noteable fast songs on the CD and it was then I knew that Tyrese was best suited at slow jams. However on 2000 Watts there was one fast cut that I liked which was Just A Baby Boy featuring his Baby Boy co-stars Snoop Dogg & Mr.Tan. The ballad single released from the album What Am I Gonna Do was the jam my sophmore year of college and I still listen to it every now and again. Equally impressive is "There for Me (Baby)," a melodic ballad produced by Babyface.

Sexy Chocolatey hmmmmmmm .......2006-06-22

This CD is very nice !! I mean Veryyyyyyyyyyy Nice !!!..it breaks away from his first cd and shows what he's really capable of with his vocals and I love it..!! I might be a little psycho wit him lol but so what !! he's my boo !! ..Just like Nikki Parker was professor's wife..I'm Tyrese's ..Lol..But on a serious note this is a talented man !!.. if you haven't given this cd a try make sure you do...

Awesome album!.......2005-02-03

This album was released shortly before Tyrese Gibson's starring film BABY BOY and the soundtrack album. The most famous of all on this album is JUST A BABY BOY with Snoop Dogg and Mr. Tan. Dogg co-starred with Gibson in BABY BOY. This album is not to be confused with the track from Michael Jackson's 2001 album INVINCIBLE. This album contains explicit lyrics which may be objectionable to some listeners.

great cd.......2004-03-15

i wasnt too crazy about his 1st cd but i stuck with him because i knew he had it in him to blow me away. sweet lady was really the only song of its type on there and i love that song. this cd i just loved. if you liked sweet lady then you will probably like this cd. my boyfriend argued with me about tyrese's talent but this cd shut him up and he even gave him his credit:) this cd is great i think he grows with each album and the man can just sing. he has it all and i hope he has a very successful career.

Tyrese - He da man!!.......2001-05-25

After waiting ages on a follow up to the self-entitled Tyrese album, I was thrilled to find this one! This album is what you would expect from Tyrese - a smooth mix of R&B and Hip-Hop. Like his first massive release, this album has many different styles, from slow ballads like I'm Sorry to the more up beat Off the Heezy. This is a must buy for any R&B fan and I can't wait for more from this excellent soul singer! However, the five stars was not obtained as despite some excellent tracks, a classic was some what missing. Sweet Lady from his first album was the one that done it for me but no song on this album managed to match up to that one. Overall though, a great album. Look out for What Am I Gonna Do - my fav song from the album!!
