Reviews Customer Reviews for Order In The Court      Another Great QL Album      Rating:      "Order In The Court" is another Latifah Masterpiece. I'm sad to see it no longer in print. On this album, she takes her singing skills a lot further with such songs as "It's alright" and "What ya gonna do?" This album deserves to be back in print. I'd like to see a 10th anniversary edition in 2008 that features her 2 international tracks : "Keep Your Head To The Sky" and "let her Live" and The Live performance of "life" which is on "Lilith Fair Vol. 2" and the video edition to "It's alright" where Faith Evans (Who co-wrote the song) provides background vocals. That would make a great re-release My top 5 songs 1. Bananas 2. Life 3. What ya gonna do? 4. It's alright 5. Tie : Black on Black Love & Keep Your Head To the Sky (Japan Bonus Track) This is another great QL album. If you can get a hold of a copy and are a QL Fan, do so. it is not a disappointment.     Customer Reviews for Order In The Court Cd      Good, but not as strong as Black Reign      Rating:      Order in the Court was good, but it's not as strong as Black Reign. I still like Bananas, which has all kinds of things going on in it. It came at a time when everybody was copying Puff Daddy's beats, that four beat, shake it up style that he did so much. This song is like that, plus it sounds like Run DMC's It's Like That and has a boxing ring bell as a side effect. After that, the album's a mixed bag, some upbeat songs and a few dull songs. It's a little too R&B for her and not enough hip-hop. Perhaps her next album will go for a street direction, which she's so great at. Editorial Reviews for Order In The Court Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Order in the Court could just as easily have been called All Hail the Queen 4.0. Latifah (Dana Owens to her friends and family) has done more to diversify her career than broaden her core themes. She still offers smoothly rapped odes to self-respect, doing the right thing, and having good, clean fun. What has changed since her debut--almost a decade prior to this offering--is her wherewithal; Latifah's multimedia success as a TV and film actor has granted her substantial clout. Order in the Court reveals more about her recording budget than what's on her mind, but it's money well spent: the album is immensely entertaining and thoughtfully paced. The guest spots are unobtrusive, and the samples are fun. The surreal art in the inner sleeve alone almost makes this worth the purchase. --Martin Johnson
