Truthfully Speaking [Import]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Truth Hurt's vocals have a frosty chill. The singer, a protégé of hitmaker Dr. Dre, lustily moans and wails about a lover who turns her pages on the sinewy Dre and DJ Quik collaboration "Addictive," but her edgy resolve and steely seductiveness undercut any notion of romance. This makes her inviting moment of passion more like a warning shot. That push and pull between distance and desire is present throughout most of this rugged effort. From the mournful lament "Bullshit" (produced by Organized Noize) to a seething, if somewhat pedantic, duet with R. Kelly ("The Truth") or the loose and limber tale of a lover in prison ("Jimmy"), Truth Hurts creates her R&B in a space where men and life never fail to disappoint. Luckily, that dejected and bitter outlook makes for an often-fierce CD. --Amy Linden

SOLID album,that showcased "Truths"VERSATILITY!!!.......2007-07-14
I can't speak for anyone elses' personal taste,but,I LOVED,this album!!From the,catchy "Indian"music on "Addictive"to the RARE,type of song that expounds'on the virtues'of a"real"man..("This Feeling")..In,this day and age where a group of goofy,(condom decorated)immature lil' girls'from the"Downy-Soft"are praised and,EMBRACED,for being "intelligent"enough,to label a man,who,just happens to be a passenger(seeing as,how only,ONE,person,can drive a vehicle at a given time)in his friends'car,a"Scrub"It was a real breath of fresh air,to hear,a mature,WOMAN,from the,"Wicked West"discuss,one by one,the traits'of a MAN..B/S really DOES' fall down like rain,and apparently,the radio stations'and,video shows'are the STORMCLOUDS,for supporting such GARBAGE!!! "Jimmy"is a true-to-life,all too,often occuring tale,that waaay,too many,women that I know,have been through!!Truth covered a lot.of relevant topics'concerning the black community,for her to be getting,all the negative feedback,that she's getting,on this site!!"Ease Back"on tha' girl people!! With lines like:Have,you ever FELT,someone deep down,in your soul..."NOTICE,I,DIDN'T say love...Love is EASY,I said FEEL!!!Truths' REAL man virtues,she mentioned:Power,Strength Vision Respect,Love,Game,Capability,to make you feel thangs!!"Sweetness"(NOT,to be confused with"Soft"or"Weak")"Are you tryin' to make it HARDER,for the NEXT man?!?" "Some women:they FAKE it...I'M:All,about ME!!!...."it,becomes' dangerous,a VIOLATION!!!" "He does a DISSERVICE,to your spirit!But it FEELS,good,so you don't WAN'T,to hear it!!"I mean,a man,with a PLAN,who can GET somethin'and show you,He GOT it!!" KUDOS'to a woman,who,appreciates'and,ACKNOWLEDGES,us REAL men!!..."What you're doing to me,came an'broke up the MONOTONY...." "Truth"IS the truth!!
Why is everybody saying this is bad?.......2006-12-06
I really do not understand the reasoning behind everyone's terrible reviews for this album. I personally believe that this is a very strong release. Some of the production falls a little flat at times, but that is really the only flaw. She shows her vocal ability and power in every song and almost every song in relatable. She is not overly "ghetto," like many say. If the language bothers you, get the clean version. Simple as that. Despite what people think, I love this album and believe that it should be in every R&B lover's collection.
QUEEN OF THE GHETTO.......2006-02-24
I WISH SHE WAS STILL ON AFTERMATH,OR IS SHE?ANYWAY,NEVER MIND THAT..SHE CAN SING&HIT ALL THE NOTES.WITH SKILLFUL VOCALS,HOT LYRICS&PHAT PRODUCERS,WHAT MORE CAN I ASK FOR.THIS WAS ANOTHER ALBUM THAT WAS SLEPT ON.SHE'S GOT SOME SOUL IN HER,BUT WHATEVER HAPPENED,HAPPENED.ANYWAY THE TRUTH HURTS
It's pretty good but can't stand the hype.......2005-08-03
I don't understand alot of ppl are criticizing or hating or have a distaste 4 this album. I'd been awaiting to get this 4 so long since it was released in '02. I was like 17 and 1/2 when this came rightafter my junior yr. in high school and still sounds good today. Prove to me, IMO Truth Hurts (whose real name is Shari Watson) is truly talented and a lil 'mo gangsta a bit I mean has extraordinary vocals and sure can singing which is a gift from God. Once I listen to it which I bought used @ CD Warehouse, I was a bit impressed and quite not worried nor dissappointed at all. I believe it's still nearly-Classic IMO just b/c it hasn't made 5 or 10 (or Superior) yet. Ok I actually luv the song "Addictive" true to be pretty good kinda reminds me "Uhhh Oohhhh..." by my girl Lumidee (whose my favorite singer) and surely the beats, the drum parts and 'urything to it incl. the rap thing by my man and all-time favorite Rakim. He sure is the illest rapper out there.
Other songs included I like are: Hollywood, Push Play, The Truth, to name a few. So this is not a bad album at all. I hope I keep this just to listen a lil' more or see it's real interesting. No hard feelings. This is sure is a must if u wanna try this girl out and the other thing checkout her latest release putout last yr. which trully titled TRUTHFULLY or maybe self-titled. Enjoy.
This Truth Hurts album got me so "Addicted!".......2005-02-05
I was intending on reviewing this album when it first came out, but it slipped my mind. But I am reviewing Truth's first album Truthuflly Speaking now, and here is what I thought about this album:
01. Push Play
This is sort of an introduction to the album. Truth says this is Truth, when it's real you got to face it. It's called the truth, I think I heard somebody say it this way. Then the beat changes and Dr. Dre introduces his new artist on Aftermath.
02. Addictive (Featuring Rakim)
What can I say about this song, we all know this was the first single fromt the album that introduced Truth to the world. The beat and production on the song is straight up off the hook. Produced by DJ Quick, and I must say he did his thang on this one.
03. Next To Me
This song is a plea from Truth to her man, saying that if ur not Next To Me, I need X-tasy. The beat on this track is very melodic. And it'll make u feel the vibe that this song is bringin'.
04. Jimmy
This songs is about playa who's been locked down by the name of Jimmy. On it she's tellin' a story. The verses are like a paragrah or chapter. Each one tellin' how much she misses her man.
05. Grown
The track is like a emancipation track of sorts, it's like your no longer a child or teenager, ur now grown. Dealin' with life day-2-day situations. Not being misunderstood, noone tellin' you what's wrong, right, bad or good. You should feel free to release it if that's the way you're fellin, ur Grown!.
06. This Feelin'.
My favorite track off the album. This song is mainly for the women. But anyone can get somethin' from this song. You can flip the words to cater 2 u. Also on this song Truth vocals are very strong, one thing I really like about this artist.
07. Tired
Truth is makin' conversation to one of her girlfriends. Tellin' her that she's been tested by people, stressed out, been through it all basically. Tired is a dramatic track. Like if u have family and friends who turned into enemies, baby that's hollerin' til' the quarter of 3 in the morning, and your mate that's flippin' out and stressin' you. And ur just Tired.
08. I'm Not Really Lookin' (Featuring DJ Quick)
This is one of those West Coast party tracks, a tight beat from DJ Quick. You can really throw somehtin' and put on this track and just grove to it.
09. B.S. (Featuirng Big Rube)
Now we all deal with B.S. @ one time or another. On this track she explain what all she's been through when she was caught up. But you should not believe everything you hear, let the truth be known. Also she says (b.s. pours down like rain, which is tru).
10. Queen Of The Ghetto (Featuring Kittie a.k.a. Cita)
What really stands out on this track is Cita's squeaky ghetto female voice. Cita also get's explict on this track. This song is kinda like a long interlude on the album. But I do like to beat 2 this song.
11. The Truth
R. Kelly is on this track, but on the album, they don't credit him on this song, they only say he's the prodcer, etc. Anywho, this was the second single off the album. I really like this track. U can't run away from the truth, or u can't hide it.
12. Real
Timbaland produced this track. Many people say this is the closest Timabalnd & Dr. Dre got to collaborating with each other. The beat on this song is tight. I also thought this song could have been a single.
13. Hollywood (Featuring Dr. Dre)
Dr. Dre explains how life is in hollywood. What's hilarious 2 me is when he talks about tight pants on guys, which is very uncomfortable lol. Truth follow up the rhymes by Dre. So all-n-all this is one hot tack.
14. Do Me
This is a song that I can really relate to. In life you have to Do You. Go out and get urs. You know how to please yourself, and this is how it gotta be, you got to do yourself and make urself happy!!!.
**The first album from Truth a.k.a. Truth Hurts was a tight album, I thought it would sell alot, but things happen. But that didn't mean people wasn't feelin' this album. I really believe U should go out and pick this one up. U won't be disappointed when u buy it and listen 2 it.**
