CHEMICALLY IMBALANCED - YING YANG TWINS
Like their Miami godfathers, the Twins enjoy a single-minded focus on blurred-together, misogynistic party tracks. Similarly, their not terrifically complex formula isn’t something that commands a lengthy shelf life. Wisely, the Twins steer clear of a “Whisper Song” reprise. Tracks like “Keep on Coming,” “Water” and the Wyclef Jean-assisted “Dangerous” (which nicely sews in “Maneater” and “Black Betty”) work up a decent enough lather, though after 18 tracks it’s hard to remember any actual hooks. It’s an inhospitably crowded hip-hop release season out there, and it’s tough to imagine “Chemically Imbalanced” staying in the spotlight for long. Billboard
