Guy - The Future

Good product

I do not have much to say about this product except it is a great CD. Go and buy it if you like GUY!! June 25, 2007

Excellent follow up to their classic debut...................

This cd is still banging. Teddy and the Brothers Hall brought in the decade of the 1990s in high style. New Jack Swing is in full effect, but this album is further enhanced by Aaron Hall's improved vocals.

The Jams:
Teddy's Jam 2
Do Me Right
Lets Chill
Tease Me Tonight
The Future
Smile
Gotta Be A Leader
Let's Stay Together (My personal favorite)

Surpasses the first disc which isn't easy

Guy's sophmore CD,The Future easily surpassed their self-titled debut and this isn't an easy feat.considering the excllence of the first album. Guy brings so much show man ship and grinding, forceful funk into "Teddy's Jam 2" and "Her" you can't help but dance. One of the group's biggest singles Wanna Get With You still get my hype every time I hear it. Slow jams as "Do Me Right" and "Tease Me Tonight" are easily on par with the classic Yearning For Your Love, Where Did Love Go and Smile that I would have loved to hear them live. However the slow jam Let's Chill is without a doubt one of the strongest slow jams to be released in 1990 and still remains a classic to this day. The Future is one of the more appealing -- and certainly more authentic -- examples of "new jack swing a music genre that I wish would come back. January 5, 2007

A Really Good Follow-Up To Their First One.

my favorite tracks are "gotta be a leader" "The Future". December 26, 2006

Excellent followup to dynamic debut!

Guy's second album The Future was an excellent followup--had just as many hits as the debut! I loved D-O-G me Out and I Wanna Get With You, as Teddy Riley's New Jack Swing sound kicks hard on those songs. Sometimes his sound got too repetitive in some cases for other artists at the time. Seemed like he did 30 to 40 songs left and right. My favorite here is Tease Me Tonight, perhaps their best ballad to rival the very popular ballad Piece of My Love, almost to a draw. It has a '70s feel to it and has such a lush landscape. It's so sexy too, even down to the erotic heartbeats pumping and heavy breathing from Aaron Hall at the song's very end. It even rivals any of R. Kelly's sexy ballads in the '90s! But the tone on the album later gets angrier, as Guy lashes as Gene Griffin for not paying them for the songwriting on their last album. On one song, Teddy raps a lengthy, yet fiery rap at Griffin. The lyrics are biting, as tough as any of the Jay-Z/Nas battle records. Even over a rollicking beat and rhythm. The other numbers are just as sharp and Aaron Hall still sounds better as a soul singer on this effort. June 18, 2006
