Puff's sophomore set is certainly not as strong as his debut, but I don't think it's quite as bad as it is generally written off as. Rolling Stone described it best when they wrote something to the effect of how the album was too eager to please. The track "Satisfy You" with R. Kelly was a good hip hop love song and "Best Friend" with Mario Winans was a great record about a higher power. I thought it was also cool how Puff put Sauce Money on the mic for a record. Not only is Sauce a talented writer (i.e. Puff's "I'll Be Missing You"), but he's also a great emcee and so I think it's great that Puff gave him exposure alongside amazing artists such as Busta Rhymes and Redman on "Reverse." And not surprisingly, with The Hitmen behind the boards, this album has top-notch production.
