Personally my favorite tracks on this album are U &I, Natalie, Playing Games,Right Now and I'll Never Hurt You Again. Al B Sure snapped off on the song U & I and it my favorite song on this whole CD.

Very Underrated Release.......2006-12-31

While it doesn't stand up to "In Effect Mode", Al B.'s third release called "Sexy Verses," DOES have some very good tracks on it. I personally enjoyed nearly every track save the final one. I was in college when this release came out and I still rock to "Right Now" and "U & I" even today in my 30's. If those two aren't defining "baby making music", then I don't know what is!

"Natalie" is almost a love ode that is very good. "Kick In The Head" and "Turn You Out" were a bit ahead of its time. They would sound out of place today but I agree with another reviewer that for 1992, it was definitely in place. Again, I would say those two tracks were even AHEAD of that time period a bit! I also liked the remix of "Channel J" on this one as well renamed "See The Lady."

"Playing Games" was a heartbreaker and definitely a break up song while "I Would Die For U" is a devotional song so with those two he gives us the opposite ends of the spectrum for a relationship. The death of one but the devotion of another. I also liked "Thanks For The Great Time Last Night" but could've lived without the silly interlude prior to it.

As I said, the final track is the weakest on here but even that makes for "pass the time" music. Again, while it isn't the classic that "In Effect Mode" was, give it a chance. It'll be worth it.

Sexy Versus Was A Masterpiece!! .......2006-10-20

This album is my all-time favorite release by Al B. Sure! It remains, well, underrated because he (or his record company) decided to release only TWO songs that weren't all that appealing TO THE GENERAL crowd. These were slow songs that sounded like anyone can just pass up. They were "Right Now" and "Natalie". To me, "Right Now" and "Natalie" are excellent but you really have to study every aspect of the two songs in order to like it the way I do. Some people may like it at first listen however. And that's pretty much why the album failed and remains discontinued. 1. the promotion of it, 2. only two songs were released instead of four, and 3. the songs they chose to release doesn't give a good impression to the mainstream crowd which was a big mistake in WARNER BROS. part. Instead, they should have released "Die For You", "Turn You Out", "I'll Never Hurt You Again", and "Ooh 4 You Girl". If this would have been done, I bet you anything that this album would have been as big as his first album release, "In Effect Mode". Also, the person below me that commented about the uptempo tracks being outdated for the time it was released is totally wrong. These tracks reflect the times in a big way. This was the music played in 1992. They are outdated NOW but they weren't outdated then. And actually, "Ooh 4 You Girl" (which is uptempo) would have been a chart topper if it would have been released. It tops any other New Jack Swing song i've ever heard. Al shows a side to him that's never been heard before with this track and to add, it sounds like he put alot of effort into just this one song. When I first heard this album, I immediately had favorites, one by one, as the cd progressed to the next track (which is something rare to see in a normal non-g-hit CD). "Kick In The Head" features Rakim and has a great message about love & relationships, "Turn You Out" has an awesome beat to it and was way ahead of it's time for quite some years in sound (contrary to what the guy said below me), "See The Lady" is basically a remix of B. Sure's previous album release single "Channel J". This one has a good beat to it as well. Lastly, Thanks 4 A Great Time is one awesome, creative, and original song. I would add this one to my list as the 5th single to be released if the company was gonna go for more to be released (which has happened in the past). The only thing I would change about this song would be that annoying carnival intro music in the beginning of the track. Other than that, it was excellent. And this is why I feel that this was his best work yet!

Sexy Versus Had A Few Good Versus or Two.......2005-06-22

Al B. Sure delivered to us his final album in which had some moments but did not appeal to a lot of critics back in '92 when the changing of the guard was going away from the new jack swing movement into the g-funk movement. The album starts off promising with hits like "Right Now", "U&I", "Natalie". Then I can see where the album hits a snag with the uptempo songs that was kind of outdated for its time. Now Devante from Jodeci did produce some of the uptempo tracks along with Al B's cousin Kyle West & Howie Tee but it just was not appealing. Then the album gets back on track with my favorite song on the album "Die For You", this song is very underrated because if you really listen to message, it talks about loving your mate unconditionally that you would literally die for them, to me that is true love. Then the next track "I'll Never Hurt You Again" is another great slow jam that really talks about true love. The last track is ok but nothing to get excited. To me this is a poor-man's version of "Diary of a Mad Band" by Jodeci with dynamic slow jams but below to average up-tempo songs. This CD is still worth to take a chance on and you can buy very cheap at your local record store.
