Black Out is awesome

their voices go very well together
I really love the beginning

I love BLACK OUT.

Although I'm a bit annoyed by Lil' Wayne's voice but I can just ignore that part because the song is very awesome :yes

"Japanese singer Namie Amuro is said to have donated was speculated online to have donated 50 million Yen (about $785,000) to relief efforts"

^ Is that in addition to the $70mil that she apparently donated a few days ago?

a lot of money, that's amazing

Wow that's a lot of money indeed.
so sweet of her!

Saw her and ayu in local TV about the donation today

Still love Wonder Woman and Make it Happen the most. :luv2

^Yup, me too~~ Those songs are just awesome.

My favs are #1 and Black Out! :heart
And Do What U Gotta Do and Rock U from her older ones.

I can´t reallly choose a fav...i love all the new tracks!!! (except BLACK OUT) Can´t wait to listen Fight Together!!

I'm going to listen to it when a real rip comes out

I never heard of her collab songs before except the new ones and the one with ravex
so this is like a new namie album for me ahahhah

Does anybody else think that the bass line in "Wet n Wild" during the verses sounds like "Dirrty" by Christina Aguilera?

I've listened to half of these collaborations before, overall Checkmate is a awesome album. I really enjoyed it. The only one which I dislike is BLACK OUT. I find it quite boring :/.
I remember a different version of Wet n Wild though, maybe it was sang just by Heartsdales only (a little OT, but gosh I miss them so much).
Must save money for this album :heart

Very american album...not sure how I feel about the new songs but whats good is GREAT.

talent < producing

Black out is seriously boring. And the more I listen to it, the more I start to like only Lil Waynes part in it. But still... oh my god. Nah, not her best song on the album.

I like wonder woman, then #1, then make it happen, then unusual, then black out.

And good for Namie! Japan can really use that money!
