Still Ghetto (2002)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Release Date: Nov 05, 2002; Lead Performance: Jaheim

Methinks he doth protest too much: So eager is Jaheim to prove he's ''still ghetto'' that he strays from the propulsive neosoul that makes his single ''Fabulous'' so beguiling. He squanders lovingly crafted melodies and his tensile tenor on tunes that huff 'n' puff about the perfidy of women and how he ''wear[s] the boxers around here'' (''Every Which Way''). Button it up or just croon, Jaheim.
