As strong a buzz as
Queen Latifah
created with her debut single of 1988,
"Wrath of My Madness"
and its reggae-influenced B-side
"Princess of the Posse,"
one would have expected the North Jersey rapper/actress' first album,
All Hail the Queen
, to be much stronger. Though not a bad album by any means, it doesn't live up to
Latifah
's enormous potential. The CD's strongest material includes
"Evil That Men Do,"
a hardhitting duet with
KRS-One
addressing Black-on-Black crime and other social ills; the infectious hip-house number
"Come Into My House"
; the rap/reggae duet with
Stetsasonic
's
Daddy-O
"The Pros"
; and the aforementioned songs. Unfortunately, boasting numbers like
"A King and Queen Creation"
and
"Queen of Royal Badness"
aren't terribly memorable. Especially disappointing is
"Mama Gave Birth to the Soul Children,"
a duet with
De La Soul
that surprisingly, is both musically and lyrically generic. To be sure,
's rapping skills are top-notch -- which is why
should have been consistently excellent instead of merely good. ~ Alex Henderson
