Still Ghetto [Clean] [Enhanced]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The gunfire and screams opening Jaheim's second CD, Still Ghetto, make it clear that while you can take the homeboy out of New Jersey, you can't take Jersey out of the homeboy, no matter how deftly he negotiates the slippery slope of R&B success. So while Still Ghetto gives us a mix of cuddly urban ballads and sleek soul, a hip-hop edge remains. Still, Jaheim's grooves convey great optimism. That's especially true of "Fabulous," where children spread the word of hope. The confessional "Put That Woman First" is a tender lesson on how to love, while the smoky "Beauty and Thug," a duet with Jaheim cheerleader Mary J. Blige, puts a contemporary urban slant on opposites attracting. There's a sensuality to Still Ghetto, even at its most unhinged (relatively speaking), and to Jaheim's voice, which has been favorably--and aptly--compared to Luther Vandross's. Could be worse. --Kim Hughes

This album definantly shows significant growth for Jaheim. The song choices,the lyrics, the featured artists, and Jaheim's image are all improved since his last album! I am a huge Jaheim fan and this is my favorite of all three of his albums.

SMOOTH, SMOOTH, SMOOTH.........!!!.......2006-09-29

With a sleek, soulful style combined with the hard edge of hip-hop, Jaheim makes it all work and outdoes himself on this album. With a sound reminiscent of a young Teddy Pendergrass, Jaheim is truly at his best in Fabulous....Put That Woman First.....Diamond In Da Ruff...the entire CD is Jaheim at the top of his game. Jaheim demonstrates the type of artist that you rarely see these days...with true talent, and with an appeal that reaches the very mature listener and the hip-hop crowd. One of the very few artists whose CDs I actually purchase......this one is a must for the collection.

Fabulous.......2005-09-25

"Still Ghetto" is Jaheim's sophomore album. "Still Ghetto" is incredible, amazing & wonderful. I picked this album up a few months ago. I had never heard of Jaheim, I hadn't even heard of him. But when I first listened to this album, I was amazed. Jaheim has such a wonderful voice. It's so deep, so soulful. I'd love to hear more from him. After purchasing this album and listening to it numerous times back to back, I decided to get more of his material. I saw the video for the song "Anything" and I thought it was new, but I quickly learned that it was an old song off of Jaheim's debut album, "Ghetto Love". I purchased the album but I haven't gotten around to listening to it, just only a few tracks.

"Put That Woman First" was the first song I heard by this New Jersey vocalist. I saw the video and I thought it was great. This song is about, well, putting that woman first because if you don't she's going to leave. Great song, great message.

"Fabulous" is probably the best song on this album. It teaches children to keep their head up and never give up. I think that is a great message and it also features little children singing the chorus and other parts in this song.

"Special Day", "Let's Talk About It", "Me And My Bitch" & "Diamond In Da Ruff" are other songs I also like on "Still Ghetto".

Overall, this album is great. I'm looking forward to listening to "Ghetto Love".

Put this album 1st!!!.......2005-08-08

I would never guess that such a big brotha like Jaheim would possess such a beautiful voice. He's so shy. I know he's gonna be around for a long time with a voice like that; he's got that Mary J type of soul. This album goes down like hot chocolate on a winter day, smooth. I say, cop this album, and play it whether you're in love or still looking for it.

Phat Collection Of Heated Hoodsta Tales Outta Frisco.......2007-07-05

Herm, a street activist from San Francisco, Cali, gets some cuddies from the yay area to drop a phat compilation for the 1995 season. Primo drops a sick joint "City Of Da Players." The beat is a mix of Frisco Mobb Music and G-Funk with killa flows and a dope Dr. Dre influenced whiny synth. N.O.H. Mafia drops some mainy knowledge on the bouncy "Voices In My Head." Hitman, from RBL Posse, drops us a classic horror joint "The Reeper." You can find this joint on his solo debut: Solo Creep, also from 1995. T-Lowe and 187 Mob hits us with "Creepy Crawling," a phat horror joint with a slick whiny synth; this cut can also be found on T-Lowe's 1995 album Keep It Real. Lets put it simply, if you want a collection of hard core, hot headed, Frisco Mobb music by some dope underground, lesser-known rappers, this is a prime album for you. You also get U.D.I., 3-Deep, Female Fonk, Young Life, and many more also here. Don't sleep.

A serious composition of music.......2000-12-07

The artists on this CD have formed an interesting and moving insight into the Jewish music. The music at times can be very operatic in nature and at other times they can be so riveting you feel yourself being moved by the pure poetry of their assonance. If you want to have several emotions at once this would be the one to get for your collection. You get to hear the words of the Hebrew language and it so beautiful. If you don't understand Hebrew it does not really matter I believe the essence of the language is there and you will understand their intentions and meaning. You are constantly swept in emotions when you hear the lyrics and rhythm.
