Jennifer Lopez Album: “Jenny from the Block [UK CD #2]”

Well, since this is a Jennifer Lopez song, so the riff must be a sample from some famous song. What could it be...ah, yes, The Beatnuts' "Watch Out Now"! Why does she always do that? "Ain't It Funny" remix used music from Craig Mack's "Flava in Ya Ear" (and that in itself may be a sample), "I'm Real" remix used Rick James's "Mary Jane", and "I'm Gonna Be Alright" remix is from Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad" (okay, to all younger fans, Luniz's "I Got 5 on It"). I personally think that it's to get more "black" fans because she's been criticized for being a sellout to white America. Either way, this song is wack. And don't get me started on her singing ability.

I don't get Her overall success at all as for what She calls Singing.She is Pimping Her Old Neighborhood&has Brought Ben Aflack aboard.it seems all like Window Dressing too me.She wrecks a tight Beat that was a Jam for the Beatnuts a couple years back.the trip out thing about this song is that She is working with the Lox who use too work on Bad Boy Records which has Puffy-P-Diddy behind it who also use to be associated with J-Lo.small world huh?

This is the funniest CD I have ever purchased in all my life.

I had to give it five stars because it is SO hysterically funny.

There she is, Jennifer Lopez, strutting her funky stuff showing off her diamonds and pearls and belting out, "...all the rocks that I got, I'm still Jenny from the block..."

I fell out of my wheelchair laughing, girl get REAL here!

You're not still Jenny from the block, you've moved on from that, who are you trying to kid?

I might have taken your song more seriously if you hadn't flaunted Ben Affleck on the video, tried to show your "normal" life and how "ordinary" you still were.

In all fairness though the song is quite catchy, I like the tune a lot, it's got a good steady beat to it but the lyrics, oh my ribs ache from laughing so much, they are so PANTS!

So Jenny from the Block, keep on singing songs like this, because if you do, you are going to make a lot of people happy, some us might even laugh ourselves into a coma.

I know I almost did!

Truly the most overrated, weak voice singer of the present, Jennifer Lopez returns to the music scene with this single where she sings about her roots. "Jenny From the Block" is Ms. Lopez's answer to critics who say that she has changed from a nice girl who grew up in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx, made it big, moved out to Los Angeles, and forgot about the people who made her. The truth is she has.

This single which features Lopez's trademark weak vocals is a poor shout out to her neighborhood. The reality is that once one makes it big, they find greener pastures to graze on. Just like James Dean's character in the film "Giant," a bigshot forgets about the people who were there in past for them. This song which mixes hip hop and pop is not original like many songs we hear on the radio, and unlike Lopez's past singles, this song will have very little chance of becoming a successful remix. With her front page hijinks and her numerous paramours, it is hard for me and many others to believe that Jennifer is still the same, old "Jenny From the Block." The days following September 11, 2001, New York City really needed all her native children to help this great city recover from an act of evil. Many stars answered that call, yet Lopez was no where in sight, preferring to remain in California. With this fact, this song is most geered to her biggest fans. In conclusion, a poor single with a weak message.

Jennifer has come back once again with her singe called "Jenny From The Block" In this single she knocks down negitive people as well as people who judge her for just being her "Jennifer". Thats why in the line "Nothing Phony Don't Hate On Me What You Get Is What You See" means you can love her or hate her she will always be jennifer and will never be phony. Jennifer is one of a kind who has been sucessful with alot. With 18 movies under her belt and counting, a fragrance, a restaurant, a clothing line, 3 brillent albums(Another which is due on tuesday(Nov 26, 02)Plus a ton of other projects underway. Still Jennifer lopez shows us that no matter what she does, or how she sounds(Acording To Those Who Can't Sing A Note)or who she is she will always and forever be "Jenny From The Block". Buy this single :)
