"My Life" displays an insight into her life that wasn't there before, and attempts to justify herself, almost like Jay Z did on his second album. After allegations of ghost writing on the first album, Jay Z does make his requisite appearance on "Bonnie & Clyde Part II", evoking films with the horns, a commercial sounding effort, and of course they are at ease working with each other, even if they are talking about nothing! "Hot Spot" is her bona fide hit, not a sample in sight, and a fun bouncy number that will have all the clubs singing to her tune. This will surely gain commercial success, I liked it with it's infectious beat and Foxy dropping a sing-a-long chorus made for clubs, as the subject matter is all about hitting the hot spot (not the G type as you would expect!).

"BWA" sees a remake of NWA's "Real N****z Don't Die", and is pulled off with the able help of down south stars Mia X of No Limit and Gangsta Boo of Three 6 Mafia. They rap over the instrumental and retain much of the feel of the original. Another team up with some dirty south hustlers feature Cash Money's Juvenile and Suave House's due Eightball & MJG in an effective track on "Ride (Down South)". "4-5-6" is another good track with Beanie Siegel and Memphis Bleek, bound to go down well with New York's 'thug' crowd that has appeared with the resurgence of DMX two albums. Speaking of him, check for "Dog & A Fox" if you are an X fan, this utilising Swizz Beatz' now signature sound (cross-ref: Ruff Ryders Anthem) with it's almost mechanical sounds. Almost laid back.

The obvious pop crossover tracks come in the form of "JOB" with Mya vocalizing the hook, an obvious "Ain't Nothing Going On But The Rent" sample, and Total bring more widespread accessibility on "I Can't", although I wasn't feeling them. They are too sugar-coated for my liking.
