Are you ready for the second part of the experience? After hearing the first part of the 20/20 experience left me wanting more from Justin. I couldn't wait for part 2. The wait is finally over and the full experience is well ready for you to experience. Justin is back and in true fashion. 

Justin Timberlake

This former Nsync member has been making hits on his own for years now. After releasing his last solo album in 2006, we've been waiting for another wonderful album. He gave us features on songs with Madonna, and The Lonely Island just to name a few and continued his acting career in movies such as "In time" and "The Social Network". In early March of this year he released part 1 of "The 20/20 Experience" which debuted at #1 on the charts selling just over 980,000 copies. This album featured hits "Suit and Tie" and "Mirrors". He has been non stop working whether it is in music or movies

With the leading single "Take back the night" the final installment of "The 20/20 experience" debuted at #3 on the itunes chart. This album is something that you have never heard of. The experience is a sound that we have not heard from Justin before. This album combines the sound of classic big band sound with today's pop. I was a little disappointed with the album and often found myself being bored because most of the songs sound the same. There is also no clear dance hit like those we are used to from JT. However, the album is still good and a must hear. Overall, I would give this album a 4 out of 5. 

Album Weaknesses

-Song length

- the songs almost sound the same

- has one random country sounding song that doesn't go with the theme

Album Strengths

- mixing big band sounds with R&B flow

-nothing like anything else you hear today

-The features on the album are amazing (Drake and Jay-Z)

Favorite Songs

"Not a bad thing"

"Amnesia"

"Drink you away"

"Take back the night"

Check out the album below:

If you missed Part 1 of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, then you truly missed out on a comical television event. First off, this article is definitely a spoiler alert. I apologize in advance if you haven't had the opportunity to see the first part of the Reunion Special.

The show started off the same with introductions of the cast members by the executive producer of the show Mona Scott Young. Everything seemed to be great. The vibe was set right with the live band. Everyone was all smiles and the show seemed to be taken a more positive position. However, no more than five minutes went by and stuff starts hitting the fan.

In a split instant things were heated. Right out the gate, Joseline and Mimi exchanged words about their feelings towards one another. After a brief conversation filled with obscenities and B-words, Joseline became a bit agitated. Next thing you know, she takes off her heels and charges full speed towards Mimi.

I have to give security their props. They were definitely on their "A" game. They were able to restrain Joseline before she was able to reach Mimi. The altercation was stopped and security was on high alert.

Check out the argument that caused the tension in the room between Joseline and Mimi. Brought to you by VH1.com

After a quick commercial break Mimi, Joseline, and Stevie J were the center of attention. The ladies were asked about their experiences with their fellow co-star, Stevie J. Surprisingly, the ladies were able to speak with one another and actually agree with what they had to say about the infamous ladies man.

Mona Scott Young then went on to ask the question that everyone around the nation wanted to know. Are Stevie J and Joseline actually getting married? Unfortunately, Stevie J seemed hesitant to respond if the two lovers were tying the knot. Mimi offered her insight on Stevie J and Joseline. She even reached out too offer words of wisdom to Joseline, warning her about Stevie's ways.

Check out Mimi actually offering her words of advice.

Love and Hip Hop Atlanta 2

The story line would end at the commercial break and two familiar faces were brought on stage accompanied by their mothers. Erica and Scrappy appeared on stage and this time there was an awkward silence amongst the two. 

The show highlighted the ending of their long and tumultuous relationship. The questions Mona had for  Erica had her at the brink of tears. However, she would not shed a tear for her former lover and father of her child. 

Both Scrappy and Erica obviously care for one another, but  Erica was concerned with the well being of their child. She respectfully discussed that she did not want anything more than a friendship with Scrappy at the moment. 

Check out the emotional break down Erica had on the show. 

Love and Hip Hop Atlanta 2

The story would go back and forth between Erica and Scrappy. Ultimately, the decision remained the same. They were apart and they did not want to reconcile their relationship at the present moment.

Next, the show would give a quick cameo spotlight to Drew and Tracy Steele. Which highlighted their complicated co-parenting relationship.  

However, the thought on everyone's mind was the status of Rasheeda and Kirk. With Rasheeda being pregnant and Kirk just getting out the dog house for his public affair. The couple of 15 years is at a standstill and everyone wants to know what Rasheeda will do. 

The show ended with Rasheeda ultimately addressing the future of their marriage. But right before she can even mutter a response, the show is over. 

Part one is definitely a very entertaining reunion. The second part is sure to bring more laughs, drama, and news. Stay tuned for the second part of the reunion which premiers next Monday, August 12th at 8pm.
