Trey Songz’s album “Ready” contains a variety of offensive material.

Trey Songz album, Ready is a 100 percent disgrace to the R&B music genre.

It should be punished under a law of some kind in the musical world.

The song titled “LOL Smiley Face” has no direction whatsoever.

It is unclear just what he is singing about.

The lyrics are shallow and weak while the music production has the word beginner written all over it.

The song is collaborated with novice rapper Soulja Boy Tell ’Em who is responsible for the popular but low-end single “Crank That.”

Another song, which has a sense of disgust to it is “I Invented Sex.”

The singer must think is is some sort of sexual god. After hearing it, he just sounds like a maniac.

With a combine effort from rapper Drake who invented “Best I Ever Had.” It definitely spells disaster in the album.

The music video is totally useless and pointless. It just shows him and another girl in the bed and nothing else.

And thinking disaster had just ended, how wrong that train of thought was.

Contributing to the disaster is “Say Ahh” and “Ready to Make Luv.”

These songs are based on the same theme as “I Invented Sex.”

Trey Songz should also be charged with plagiarism in his criminal record history.

“I Need a Girl” is just the evidence that was needed.

The guitar strumming patterns are just exactly the same with an old 80’s R&B song.

It is just another duplication of old records and trying to make it a success in today mainstream music charts.

Most introduction songs give a good, positive image to the album, but the intro song “Panty Droppin” did just the opposite.

Not only it is disrespectful towards the opposite sex but also promoting male dominance over female in the society.

Money is an important necessity according to his next song “Successful.”

The song is based on that life is all about money, material things and women.

Moral values, faith, culture and many more positive aspects of life are not that important.

Overall the album performs badly.

Theme and objectives of the album is narrow and limited. It only discusses about being rich and sex issues.

Besides that, Trey Songz did not perform well and the musical value is not decent either.

It is hard to believe the album is going to be nominated in the Grammy Awards in the category of R&B genre.

Last but not least, the album definitely promotes violence against women and many other negative social issues such as prostrating women as sex objects.

No wonder, violence against women cases are still at large in today society.

It is all thanks to this type of album.
