R&B sensations B2K have leaped into the Christmas genre with true enthusiasm, giving standards like "Jingle Bells," and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" some spirited dance groove and off-kilter beats, as well as giving the lyrics a new twist. On the underage quartet's version of " Santa Claus is Coming to Town," Old Saint Nick isn't a jolly old elf, but is simply the "dude with black boots and a red suit" who doesn't come to your hood if you're not good. And while we're on the subject, we're not sure what B2K will be getting in their Christmas stockings, since their rather explicit "Sexy Boy Christmas" is definitely naughty and a little inappropriate for a holiday disc. But counterbalancing that is a personal tune called "My First Christmas," which celebrates the innocent joys of your first yuletide in your own place, as Jerome Jones raps: "I'm breaking my neck trying to get to the tree/ Trying to see what my mom and dad got for me." Makes you remember that Omarion, Raz-B, Lil Fizz, and J-Boog only stopped believing in Santa Claus a few years before recording this collection. --Jaan Uhelszki

SANTA H00KED ME UP !.......2005-11-27
Funny & stupid at the same time........2005-05-24
The only reason that I am saying it is just that I know that I'm not a fan of B2K but,they should just quit trying to make something that ain't good for them.Better stick with The Gospellers instead.
whatever.......2004-12-07
B2K REVIEW.......2004-08-06
Best Holiday Masterpiece ever.......2003-01-06
1. Santa Hooked Me Up- wow! what an outstanding opening track! this shows exactly what the true meaning of Christmas is. Such wonderful, wonderful heart warming lyrics on this one.
2. Rain and Snow- a bit on the slow side, but such inspirational lyrics! You can almost feel like you are right there with the boys, or at least in their hearts..aww.
3. Jingle Bells- a rad approach to the hoilday classic!
4. Sexy Boy Christmas - (featuring TG4)- definetely the standout track! This is by far the most amazing song on this CD. Will put anyone in the holiday spirit immediately...this is to become a holiday classic, no doubt about it!
5. Everyone's Home For Christmas - (featuring Batman)- such a beautiful song! Batman has absolutely beautiful vocals in this song.
6. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town- Bruce, someone can DO this song better! And that's the fine talent of b2K
7. Why'd You Leave Me On Christmas- A tearjerker that WILL make you cry. You can feel the pain and sorrow in your heart as you listen to the melancholy lyrics.
8. Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer- By far the best classic covered by the soon to be music icons of B2K! You'll be singing along too!
9. My First Christmas - (featuring IMX)- excellent, excellent song featuring B2K's buds and up and coming music great IMX!
10. Santa Baby - (bonus track, featuring Jhene)- what a way to end an extraordinary album! Just when you thought it couldn't get better, it does! B2K have really proved that they can cover anyhting, and make it sound even better with their signature hip hop sound.
This album is an absolute musical and instrumental masterpiece! It's a must buy for EVERYONE. B2K have revolutionized the holiday album with "Santa Hooked Me Up" If this album doesn't deserve a Grammy or some sort of award, it's a real shame that music experts have overlooked such a gem!
