Comment:

While Luther Vandross was two decades into his recording career by 2001 — delivering yet another certified slow-jam classic with "I'd Rather" — most of our Deep Cuts focuses on new rap and R&B blood, like Nappy Roots, Clipse, Angie Stone, Tweet, Ashanti, and Amerie. Not to mention singers and MCs who were easing into their golden age, including Nas (the siren wails and spare, spooky samples of "One Mic"), Maxwell (the laid-back locked grooves of "Lifetime"), and Wyclef Jean ("Two Wrongs," a dewy-eyed, guitar-guided duet with City High's Claudette Ortiz).
