*Notes from the author:
The tracklist printed on this record's label is incorrect. I have only ever personally seen this record twice in my life, and both copies had the same incorrect track listing. Since this is, to my knowledge, the only recording Melakii ever released in his musical career, I believe the pressing plant and record company both used the wrong track list. Below, you can view the tracklist as printed on the label, along with my corrections for each track title.

Tracklisting for Side A (according to the label):
A1: Ghetto Passion (Smooth Version) (Clean)
A2: Ghetto Passion (Smooth Version) (Dirty)
A3: Ghetto Passion (Smooth Version) (Instrumental)

In reality, there are no "clean", "dirty" or "radio" & "street" versions of "Ghetto Passion" on this pressing. The track contains no profanity anywhere in its lyrics. A1 is what's labeled as the Smooth Version (more on this later.) A2 is actually the instrumental track, and A3 is the acapella track, which, again, contains no profanity or censored lyrics.

Tracklisting for Side B (according to the label):
B1: Ghetto Passion (Rugged Version) (Clean)
B2: Ghetto Passion (Rugged Version) (Dirty)
B3: Ghetto Passion (Rugged Version) (Instrumental)

As with Side A, there are no "clean", "dirty" or "radio" & "street" versions. The Rugged Version of "Ghetto Passion" reuses the same lyrics as the Smooth Version. B1 contains the Rugged Version, B2 is actually the instrumental track, and B3 is the acapella track.

*Possible discrepancies between track versions: 

I personally believe that the track titles for the Rugged and Smooth versions were mistakenly swapped. Based on the different mixes and production styles, it seems likely that the version labeled as the Rugged Version is actually the Smooth Version and vice versa.

*While I cannot definitively prove that the track titles for the Smooth & Rugged versions were swapped, I encourage listeners to compare both versions and decide for themselves. 

For reference, this rip contains the correct track listings for A2, A3, B2, and B3.

Power of the Dollar [Unreleased] Review by Roxanne Blanford

You can say this much for 50 Cent: The man knows how to make an entrance. Before he released the uproariously cunning single "How to Rob," few knew this Queens, NY, native even existed. But by naming names and placing his own persona deep in the middle of a non-existent battle (specifically, casting hip-hop stars as targets for 50 Cent's hardcore, comedic robbing spree), he assured himself a place among the industry's most illustrious performers. After all, a challenge rarely goes unanswered in hip-hop circles and when that gauntlet is raised, the best retaliation is a lyrical one. Thus setting the stage for his own legend to emerge, 50 Cent recorded a powerful debut CD to prove he was no one-hit wonder. Tracks on Power of the Dollar utilize penetrating wit and funk-infused beats, accompanied by grand orchestrations of commanding horns, pronounced percussion, and various string elements. "Slow Doe" features Latin guitar grooves and "Your Life's on the Line" conveys street life through hard, violent rhythms. Using a New York "double-time" rap style, 50 Cent presents his verbal art as a visceral and bold experience. But when he was shot two months before the album's projected release, Columbia shelved the entire project and released 50 Cent from his contract.

After Hours Review by Joe Viglione

Velveteen is a duo featuring Sal Maida -- who played bass for Roxy Music, Milk & Cookies, Golden/Carillo, and Cherrie Currie, among others -- and vocalist Lisa Burns, once produced by Craig Leon when he had Willie Alexander & the Boom Boom Band up at Suntreader Studios recording in Vermont. The Boom Boom Band backed up Lisa Burns on a 1978 self-titled MCA records release during those sessions, performing material by Moon Martin, Jackie DeShannon, and the Box Tops. Five years later she changes styles from rock to dance. The black-and-white cover of this six-song Velveteen release on Atlantic entitled Afterhours has Maida with the obligatory sunglasses and Burns looking like a new wave chanteuse. They look smart, they look the part, and had the record sounded like the Velvet Underground meets Roxy Music as the title and image suggest, it may have made more of a splash. "Nightline" is the best song here, strong hook and crystal clear production, it's just that the Linn drums make for monotonous rock & roll and their sound dominates a recording which half rocks. It's good dance music -- material Sal Maida was familiar with having recorded on Gary Private's "Lonely Hearts," but the project may have been better served had Milk & Cookies re-formed to back up Burns the way Willie "Loco" Alexander's band did in the '70s. "Nothing to Do" slinks around in a nice and evil way, but had the wild abandon of a rock group interrupted the precision, the record would beg repeated spins. "Preoccupied" is the closest thing to rock, the Seeds' eternal "Pushin' too Hard" riff convoluted in a world where it -- and these musicians -- didn't really belong: the dance world. "Wild Rain" and "Get Wild" are the alleged obsession with uncontrolled emotion, a promise unfulfilled. If only the 1978 Lisa Burns disc had the production values she and Maida give this release -- much more precise and on target than Craig Leon's sparse underproduction. Lisa Burns has an appealing voice and style, and what she needed was a long-term record deal. Too bad "Nightline" wasn't a Top 40 smash; it's so hard watching important artists climb the mountaintop only to be abandoned at the summit. Lisa Burns falls into that category.
