Back II Da Basics Reviews:
It really a good smooth cd 
2007-03-09 - I love this cd. All of the slow except when we make love and midtempo songs were very good. He didn't over sing on any of the tracks as he has in the past. If you take off the club tracks this album can be listen too start to finish. I really loved this album and felt he should have chosen I'm in love as first single and not when we make love. That the only slow song he could have left off. Please don't hesitate to buy this album.
Half of the album is good... 
2007-02-02 - I was never really a big fan of Ginuwine until I got his 100% Ginuwine album, man, that album has gotten a lot of play from me. There were some dull tracks, but for the most part the album was great, especially "Differences" and "Superhuman".
When I heard he was coming out with a new album I was looking forward to it, until I heard the first single "When We Make Love" which wasn't catchy in the least, but rather some cheesy song I'd expect from a 15-year-old Pop artist, not Ginuwine. I got the album anyway, hoping that it wouldn't all be so bad. Thankfully it wasn't.
The first 7 tracks are easily forgettable and most likely will only appeal to people who like 'poppish' R&B. Things start to pick up with track 8, "She's Like", which still isn't great, but it's the first decent song on the album. Next is "Betta Half", the best cut on the whole album followed by a few more strong tracks - "Glaze in My Eye", "Far Away", and "Take A Chance". The others are good, but not great, and probably won't appeal to everyone.
The bottom line is the album is average. It has it's moments, but it's not worth the full price.
I'll Admit...My Review Is Biased..... 
2007-01-20 - Now....I don't own this album....I borrowed it from my sister and my review will be based on 2 songs "Glaze In My Eye" and "She's Like". The reason behind this is because the production is handled by my favorite producers to ever grace hip hop and R&B in my opinion...the Trackmasters(Poke & Tone). At one point back in the mid and late 90's, this duo were the most sought after producers in the game. Amassing a huge resume of hits ranging from LL Cool J to Mariah Carey. Often dubbed as the most radio friendly production team ever....the Trackmasters contributed the same formula to these two tracks that made them household names to begin with. However, no one can dispute the fact that some of the songs that you nodded your head to back in the late 90's were more than likely the lovechild of Poke & Tone. Nuff said!!
Great album
2006-12-04 - This is overall a great album from one of my favorite artists. A bit of a different flavor from his previous works but definitely worth a listen. The album starts off with more upbeat songs and club tracks then slows down after the interlude for some classic G-wine ballads. Very strong production on the whole album as well.
My only dissapointment was that the first single released from the album, "When We Make Love" was probably my least favorite song on the album. The intro and interlude feature an assumingly new artist/producer named Knight and I'm excited to see what he comes out with in the future.
P.S. I thought I'd just throw in that I have really taken a liking to the "Thank You's" track at the end, even though it is not an entire song. Great beat.
Ginuwine - Back II Basics
2006-11-10 - Ginuwine's music cd called Back II Basics is great. Ginuwine sings well on this music cd. The Back II Basics music cd by Ginuwine has good music and song lyrics. I really enjoy Ginuwine's music cd - Back II Basics!
