After a while, that riff got on my nerves and the rapping seems to fall apart into a general bit of a bitch-off in the studio. This is followed by Big Shot, which is a-wash of beats and simple keyboard riffs.В The chorus section is by far the best part of this song, with the verses sounding a bit empty. The track didnвЂ™t chart in the UK, instead it narrowly missed the top 20 in Australia and New Zealand. At times it reminds me a little of some Morcheeba tracks. This great sound is thanks to the heavy samples of Think About It by Odell Brown and The Organisers. Styowlz returns and weвЂ™re joined by a great bassline and vinyl scratches. Heaven Or Hellopens with some rich vocals that give away to rapping, and just for a moment I thought we were going to get an oddly-placed ballad. The song heavily uses sample of, and borrows from, The Ikettes song IвЂ™m Blue (The Gong-Gong Song) penned by Ike Turner.В This album version features a rap from Big Twan, but itвЂ™sВ theВ vintage sampled sound that really holds this song together. Again, weвЂ™ve got a wonderful beat vs rap relationship going on here. Lead single and hit single Shoopis up next, and whilst it gave them a #29 hit in 1993, it took them to #13 7 months later. The beat, the bassline and the melody in the chorus is very catchy, and the quick-cut вЂ step! step!вЂ vocal really fits this chilled out song well. This is followed by Step, which is oozing with what sounds like a continuously playing wonderful beat sample from another vintage track (but if it is, itвЂ™s uncredited). This was the third single, reaching #19 in the UK. None Of Your Businessfollows, and this track has a great hard beat and some tough rapping вЂ“ earning its вЂParental AdvisoryвЂ™ sticker with flying colours. A funky guitar riff leads us through this song that is simply just perfect.В This album version even comes with a false ending. Salt вЂnвЂ™ PepaвЂ™s rapping sits perfectly alongside the rich vocal harmonies of En Vogue.

Sadly, we only got one single out of it, but this is a masterpiece. Long before McBusted, and even Girls Aloud and Sugababes collaborations, we had this fantastic collaboration with En Vogue. Next up is their big hit, and second single, Whatta Man. Somebody really is getting on their nerves! At times it reminds me a little bit of this song, but it actually fits in here. вЂ Get off my bra strap boy, stop sweating meвЂ comes a threat. This is a pretty funky track, and the vocals sit perfectly on top of this sluggish vintage-soundingВ beat. SomebodyвЂ™sВ GettinвЂ™ On My NervesВ opens with some fantastic beats and bassline that feel like theyвЂ™ve been borrowed from a soul classic (but I donвЂ™t think they have), alongside a chorus chant of вЂ hey yo! show вЂ™em what you gotвЂ. The song is softer than the previous track and also sees some great singing as well as rapping. This is followed by No One Does It Better which is completely different вЂ“ with some nice warm synthscapes set alongside a nice strong beat. The song itself is pretty simple and feels almost as if itвЂ™s a bit before its time.

Their softer tone at this point is complimented by Styowlz, who gives the track a more raw male rap vocal. This 15 track album opens with Groove Me, its hard bass beats are off-set by Salt вЂnвЂ™ PepaвЂ™s vocal harmonies in the chorus.
