(I forgot lala was on the intro)

track by track breakdown (through today's lens):

World Party -> OK (B level)

chain swang -> A

Get Rich to This -> B (but very "un-goodie mob", from cell therapy to this? perfectly endemic of the problem with this record))

the dip -> C- (this sounds like one of those disco-a$$ songs cee-lo is doing now)

all a's -> B (this would have actually fit on soul food as a b-side)

what it ain't -> C (TLC sounds dated as hell)

ICU -> A (mainly due to sleepy and the beat)

rebuilding -> B- (another soul food b-side, this time an a-side though)

street corner -> C

cutty buddy -> D (nah dog, this sounds like something they'd play on Tuesday in a really seedy stripclub)

fie fie delish -> D

go back -> F its just an abbreviated outro and completely throwaway. i have no idea why they put this on there at all

not a single track would go on a "best of" even the stuff I gave As were independent of THEIR best, instead judged in a vaccum of "do I hate this?"

overall, it's definitely week on it's own and AGAIN a really bad dropoff. the sequencing is a mess leaving you with an album that doesn't seem to know what it wanted to be (there aren't as many party track as i remembered)
