R&B
There's nothing on The-Dream's second album that can compete with the best songs he's helped write for others, like Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and Rihanna's "Umbrella." Still, this follow-up to 2007's Love Hate shows that he's saved some good stuff for himself too, most notably the Princely hit single "Rockin' That Thang" (or "Rockin' That Sh--" on the explicit version). Less memorable for its individual tunes, though, this disc works more like a sex soundtrack inspired by R. Kelly's 12 Play, after which he even titles one slow jam.
