 (21 Customer Reviews)
LL makes few pretenses at this point to being street, and TODD SMITH is straight commercial pop-rap, with production from industry heavyweights Pharell, Timbaland, and Scott Storch, among others. The rapper also brings on a whole host of guest stars, including Jennifer Lopez (on the album's lead-off single "Control Myself"), Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, and Jamie Foxx, among others. The result is solid radio-friendly hip-hop from a veteran of the genre.
LL Cool J himself would warn listeners against calling it a comeback, because he's been around since the mid-1980s churning out records the whole time. And while 2006's TODD SMITH doesn't pack near the punch of RADIO or even '90s material like MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT, the album proves that Cool James always has and always will have wit and style to spare.
Personnel: LL Cool J (rap vocals); 112, Ginuwine, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige, Mary Mary, Ryan Toby, Teairra Marí, Ne-Yo (vocals); Freeway, Lyfe, Juelz Santana (rap vocals).
Entertainment Weekly (p.73) - "TODD SMITH's best moments come when he raps alone, letting his inimitably confident flow shine."

LL...That´s all?
I ask again. LL, That´s all? This album is not bad, but is only average. On this album I found only one really hit - Control Myself.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Not a very good album
His best most recent album was Mr. Smith. It had rel lyics and wicked R&B songs. This has soem pretty good R&B songs
"Favorite Flavor" is similar to "around the way girl" which is a good thing.
"best dress" is OK, it's a reused beat from Nelly's "Play It Off"
Horrible songs are " Preserve The Sexy" the chorus is horrid. "What You Want" is soo bad too.
I don'ty know what's up with this album.
I really don't get why nobody realizes how "Control Myself" is a whack rip-off of Missy Elliott's "Loose Control"
Overall a few good hip-pop/ R&B songs but not a true hip hop album for the hardcore fans. Not really worth the money.

Purchase Todd Smith CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Todd Smith album
 $6.39  
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil ...

Todd Smith CD music
$13.19 
With THE SOUND OF REVENGE, Chamillionaire's 2005 Universal debut, the Houston-based rapper makes the most of his major-label deal, which includes his own Chamillitary imprint. On SOR, Paul Wall's former collaborator amps up that duo's signature chopped-and-screwed mixtape sound with heavy-duty arrangements that expertly showcase Chamillionaire's deep, husky voice. The introductory title track ...

| | Mary J Blige Breakthrough CD (2005)
Todd Smith songs
$12.99 
The album's lead-off single, "Be Without You," a bittersweet slow jam, is representative of the album's themes, which focus on feelings of strength and weakness in love. But whether waxing romantic ("Can't Get Enough") or detailing the travails of the heart ("Baggage"), Blige lays down elastic R&B vocal lines that are second to none. Even a seemingly unlikely duet with Bono and U2 on "One" comes across beautifully, adding a new dimension to that familiar tune.
After her somewhat lukewarm 2003 release LOVE & LIFE, Mary J. Blige returns to her rightful place as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul with 2005's THE BREAKTHROUGH. Blige enlisted a host of guest producers to contribute tracks to THE BREAKTHROUGH, and ...

Todd Smith album
$10.89
The follow-up to the Isley's excellent 2003 album BODY KISS gives all indications that the legendary R&B outfit is still going strong some 50 years into its career. Decades before young, hip-hop-influenced urban contemporary singers were swinging and swaying their way into women's good graces, Ronald Isley was laying down the blueprint as the original mac crooner, and BABY MAKIN' MUSIC proves he's still got it.
Ronald's vocal delivery is as strong as ever: rich, emotional, ...

Todd Smith songs
$6.79
Tracks recorded between 1976 and 1981. Includes liner notes by Elvis Mitchell.
Digitially remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
Like Sony's other Love Songs compilations, this one runs the risk of overlapping too much with greatest-hits discs for some consumers' tastes. Seven of the 13 tracks here are on The Best of the Manhattans: Kiss and Say Goodbye, which, like Love Songs, surveys their recordings from the 1970s and early 1980s for Columbia. Still, this collection does retrieve three R&B chart singles ...
| | Smokey Robinson Going To A Go-Go/Away We A Go-Go CD (2001) Import
Todd Smith album
$13.95
Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves and Jeff Willens (Universal Mastering Studios-East).
The candy-coated vocals of Smokey Robinson are one of the most euphoric listening experiences in the soul/R&B world, and this release includes two of his albums: GOING TO A GO-GO and AWAY WE A GO-GO.
This pairing of albums originally released in 1965 and 1966 shows what a subtly powerful force Smokey Robinson and the Miracles were. GOING TO A GO-GO opens with one of their biggest and most enduring numbers, "The Tracks of My Tears." As was the working method at Motown, other tracks on the album had their origins in assorted earlier or later sessions. But such was the cohesive identity of Robinson's songs and voice that, taken as a whole, it's a strikingly organic work. By turns soulful, funky, popish and doo-wop-influenced, it represents a time of enormous possibilities for Robinson, Motown and music in general.
AWAY WE GO-GO continues the wining streak with Robinson's songs being joined by Holland-Dozier-Holland and a few other writers, including a pair by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, both of which are ...
