This is Michael Mixerr. Today I am going to review the 2001 I Got You Album Sampler by R&B/Soul singer Lil Johnny. Lil Johnny is from Flint, Michigan. He grew up in the church and around music. Jermaine Dupri wrote half of this album sampler. Bryan Cox did too.
I Got You is about Lil Johnny having a girlfriend but the only problem is he's only 15 and he doesn't have a car. Because Lil Johnny is 15 he is not legally able to drive a car on the road. His girlfriend tells Lil Johnny he doesn't have to go nowhere as long as he's with her. This is where he really shines. Which features Jermaine Dupri as well. I Got You is a love song basically. I really like that. This is where he really shines.
You Can't Be Serious is about seeing his ex-girlfriend the other day. You Can't Be Serious is also about him not getting over the fact that his girlfriend moved away and his girlfriend dating someone else instead of Lil Johnny. She can't just be serious about how they are not dating anymore. Relationships talk like money talks. They don't last forever. Lil Zane is on this track as a bonus.
Please is about finding that right girl. Lil Johnny wants his girlfriend to be back in his life.
Lil Johnny has been up all night trying to write this letter to tell his girlfriend what Lil Johnny feels like. He doesn't feel any better. He's about to break down emotionally and cry. Lil Johnny did not play and do his part in the relationship with his girlfriend. Lil Johnny should have treated his girlfriend better. So Lil Johnny will lose his sanity if he does not get his girlfriend How Lil Johnny got into this sticky situation is that Lil Johnny had said something he said but he didn't really mean it at the time. His girlfriend means everything to Lil Johnny in this world. Lil Johnny may be young but he is ready to love his girlfriend. Lil Johnny is really sorry.
Why is about difficulties of life. Why does it have to be about this and that? That and this. Why can't we hug and kiss? Why can't we just make out instead of fight? It's a typical teenage love song about learning how to love each other instead of date rape and spousal abuse. Curfew is about, well, breaking his curfew with his girlfriend. Lil Johnny talks about all the things they are going to do when they break curfew.
Dream Girl is about finding that right girl and the type of women he wants to date. Lil Johnny wants beautiful girls in his beautiful world. Not these groupies or plus size women. Lil Johnny want s the perfect model girl to be in his world as his girlfriend.
The well known game show-inspired Wheel of Fortune that was also on The Brothers soundtrack is not on the album sampler but instead on the I Got You single. Wheel of Fortune should have been included on the I Got You Album Sampler as well.
The album was rapidly hot! You can listen to it the whole way through without skipping any songs. The timing was bad due to Usher's rising fame and the fact his voice sounds a bit like Usher. Basically the music industry at the time was not looking for another carbon copy of Usher. I rate this album, I Got You Album Sampler, 5/5*****!
