...lost, though. You might have already heard Aaliyah's opening track "Try Again" on 94.5, due in large part to its "Hot Boyz"-inspired use of bass and distortion (the lyrics are about as clichd as they come). The second track too-this one with both Aaliyah and DMX-might make its way into a club, somewhere during a full set dedicated to DMX's canine persona. C+ -Franklin J. Leonard...
Kurt Angle, a 1996 Olympic gold medalist (Who says professional wrestlers have no talent?), and his partner face the Dudley Boyz, Buh Buh Ray and D-von, next. The Boyz, using many complex moves that target their opponent's groin, beat Angle and partner, demonstrating (almost unnecessarily) the superiority of pro-wrestling over that other two-points-for-a-takedown crap.

Another invigorating fight matches The Godfather, wrestler and part-time pimp, against some no-name pretty boy. Smoothness personified, The Godfather...

Tha Block is Hot is the latest in a torrent of albums from newcomers Cash Money Records, the same crew that dropped Guerrila Warfare, the much-lauded Hot Boyz album, earlier this year. But this album might have come too soon after the diminutive Wayne, himself a Hot Boy, ran taunting jabs on that blowup wax. Other than the chantworthy tag lines of tracks like "Fuck Tha World" and "Watcha Wanna Do," there is little in the lyrics department worthy of the rewind...
...What there is to like in "Do You Think About Me" and "Candy (Make It Right)" is pretty clearly lifted from Janet Jackson and Boyz II Men. Even the album's most promising song, "Everybody Wants Her," suffers from a weak beat. Your best bet is to steer clear of Introducing and hope Fredo sticks to the commercials. Sometimes pretty boys are meant to be seen and not heard...
