Juvenile and Cash Money in-house producer Mannie Fresh try a fresh approach on Project English, the follow-up album to Tha G-Code (1999), which had been an uninspired remake of the rapper's breakthrough album, 400 Degreez (1998). Though Project English is indeed an improvement, graced with a strong lead single, the trunk-rattling "Set It Off," it's still less than great. In particular, Juvenile sounds disinterested on much of the album, as if he's merely reporting for rap duty rather than bringing exciting ideas to the table, not to mention a sense of enthusiasm. Thankfully, there's enough strong material here, especially in terms of production, to make Project English worthwhile for fans. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

Heartless KanYe West |
| When he announced that he would be putting rap to one side for his latest album and composing the whole thing using an 80's drum machine and singing in the style of Cher via the use of auto-tune software, many onlookers thought KanYe West had lost it. However, the results of KanYe's pop experiments, that on paper looked decidedly dodgy, have already produced one hit single and, if early reviews are anything to go by, one of KanYe's best albums. On his latest single, 'Heartless', KanYe continues the theme of the album '808's and Heartbreaks' by employing the use of the 808 drum machine and singing about, if you hadn't already guessed, Heartbreak. Although, as Kanye himself stated, the use of auto-tune is often associated with being 'wack', the application of the vocoder effect on 'Heartless' adds an extra depth to West's effective but limited speak singing. This proves to be a shrewd move as rapper's attempts to hit notes out of their range can often end in horrendous results; just ask Puff Daddy. Added to this the depth of lyrics, inspired by an emotionally turbulent year that saw the death of his mother and a break up with his fiancé, have more heartfelt punch than any of the predictable Hip Hop/R&B doing the rounds at the moment. Not many artists could pull it off but it seems '808's and Heartbreaks' has seamlessly moved KanYe West from Hip Hop King into the realm of pop pioneer without breaking a sweat. ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited.
