Album Reviews
With every hyphen she adds, it's harder to tell who rapper-turned-actor-turned-spokeswoman-turned-lounge-singer-turned- rapper-again Queen Latifah is. Persona is billed as her return to hip-hop, but aside from "The Light" and "Over the Mountain," there's no hint of the sassy MC who debuted two decades ago. Pharrell Williams and Dre of Cool and Dre provide the same synth beats they probably offered Raven-Symoné, and guest MC Missy Elliott outshines the Queen, who's so bored she's rapping about exhaustion: "Feeling like the longest week of my life," she says. Us too, lady.
