** (of 5)

I think that I want to have a lot of really ugly sex with the girl on the inside of the CD's cover. But I'm sure that's not the point of this disc. Maybe the point is that MTV is getting back to the M before the TV. Unfortunately, I got the edited version of this CD, so there's no way I'm going to review the music because it's shit (although it is nice to get sound effects over the dirty words instead of just blank space).

I'd probably only give it 2 stars anyway. Nothing groundbreaking here.

Just in case you're a completist, here's a list of the contributing artists: Da Brat, Destiny's Child, Royce Da 5'9", Rah Digga, Beyoncé Knowles, Mos Def, Sam Sarpong, Wyclef Jean, Mekhi Phifer, Casey Lee, Joy Bryant, and Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott.
