Jagged Edge - Baby Makin' Project

Urban contemporary foursome Jagged Edge re-team with production kingpin Jermaine Dupri for 2007's BABY MAKIN' PROJECT. As the man who gave the group their start, Dupri is in a special position to help Jagged Edge put together their first release on their own label, the Def Jam-affiliated 581 Musiz Group. BABY MAKIN' PROJECT files off the hip-hop edge that dominates so much contemporary R&B in favor of old-school balladry. Inspired as much by classic Motown soul as by 1980s new jack swing, Jagged Edge offer up a genuine R&B album filled with songs tailor-made for candlelit dinners and afterwards. Album Description

Baby Makin Music

As most of my reviews, I did not purchase this cd off of Amazon. But, I will give my opinion of this cd. I actually really enjoyed this cd and I would suggest to it anyone who likes Jagged Edge and for anyone who likes slow jams. YMMV. NEOSOUL06 November 3, 2008

JE FAN

I love JE & have been a fan since they come out. I didn't even know this cd came out back in late '07. I now have every cd they've made. I feel they are soooo under rated. I can't count how many hits they've came out with & still don't get the respect they deserve. I wish I could see these men in concert. I would saciface my bill money to see them perform , but I live in Pittsburgh, Pa & not too many artist that I enjoy come here. So I will continue to enjoy their music from the comfort of my home.

JE for LYFE

I am always impressed with these fellas, and the more they put out the more I am going to cop a copy. The album had to grow on me but I do rank it rather high with there 1st album and the 2nd albums. July 16, 2008

3-1/2 stars -- Do people even realize this is their sixth album?

I think it's safe to say that Jagged Edge's most successful albums were their first three. The first album from them that I really paid attention to was Hard, which turned out to be anything but because it was yet another album that made me say, "Well, at least they released the right songs." I didn't get a chance to hear their self-titled album (but I don't think anyone else did either), but I still decided to check out Baby Makin' Project.

Since the guys are back on So So Def for this release, some people might expect a big party goin' on, but that's not the case. In fact, there aren't any fast songs on here at all; as the album title suggests, many of the songs on here are strictly for getting in the mood. The best song in that vein would be the single "Put a Little Umph in It" with Ashanti. However, they don't always excel in that category, as evidenced by "Turn U On", which is extremely hard to follow. And the corny "Can't Get Right" made me say just that.

The album fares better when the guys DON'T talk about making love, like on "Whole Town Laughing" and possibly "Me That's Who". But there really aren't any standouts to the likes of "Promise", "Walked Outta Heaven" or "He Can't Love U", even though everyone can still sing. While far from being garbage, Baby Makin' Project is an album that only the true JE fan can appreciate; it would've been better had they followed the lead single and put a little umph in it.

JE FOR LIFE!

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT JAGGED EDGE IS THE ONE GROUP THAT NEVER DISAPPOINTS ME. I HAVE EVERY SINGLE ALBUM THEY HAVE PUT OUT. THEY ARE THE MOST UNDER RATED R&B GROUP OUT THERE. MY FAVORITE JOINTS OF THIS CD ARE UMPH, WHOLE TOWN LAUGHING AT ME, WAT TO SAY I LOVE YOU, ROUND AND ROUND, HELL.. I LOVE THE WHOLE CD. I JUST WISH THEY WOULD HAVE GAVE ME MORE SONGS! BUT THEY ARE STILL MY NUMBER ONE GROUP. WHEN ARE YOU GUYS COMING BACK TO CALIFORNIA? March 2, 2008
