Justin Timberlake spoke in-depth about the inspiration and purpose of his tortuously awaited sophomore LP, “FutureSex/LoveSounds,” and on the cover of said disc, Timberlake’s giant clodhopper through poor disco balls with the velocity and intensity of a bullet through a brick wall.  In his not-so-subtle cover art and countless interviews, he says

Oh man, that closing line - "It's nice to finally meet you." That is awesome. Anyway, I LOVE this review. I loved your analysis of "LoveStoned," including the interlude and how it's more love than lust, because that's so, so true. That interlude is just the beauty of love put to music.

I agree with you about "Chop Me Up." I really just want to hear him. It sounds like maybe you were a little frightened by his foray into hip hop, LOL.

And I also enjoyed what you said about "Losing My Way" and how emotional his vocals are. But yeah, the last paragraph in summary, that's wonderful, about how it's just him now. It's who he is, especially and mostly the second half of the album. Being real and insecure at times, realizing how quickly and badly someone can fall.

Thanks! I'm actually quite proud of this review.

The shit that's on the radio isn't real hip hop at least to me. It doesn't even sound good. Music should sound GOOD, it's shouldn't be a mishmash of sirens, chicken sounds and whistles. That's just bullshit. Chop Me Up is kind of sloppy in that sense. It can be fun to listen to, but it's a bit too novelty hip hop for me.
