"This is not an official Ginuwine release. Most of these songs do not feature Ginuwine. The songs that do feature Ginuwine are songs left over from the "Back To Basics" studio sessions.
Some guy is trying to pass this off as a Ginuwine album and its quite obvious with old photograph and the dated logos used from "The Life" project that this is not authentic.
Ginuwine himself has a videotaped message about this that is scheduled to appear on his myspace page at [...]"

"Ginuwine appears on a few tracks but the album is the work of a shady Bay Area producer that has misused Ginuwines name to make money."
Ginuwine should sue whoever tarnished his name

"Giuwine bombed with his respectable yet overlooked and under promoted last album Back II Basics and a little over a year later he's totally disrespected by some wack DJ with this CD release. Truth be told Ginuwine is only on two songs and neither one really show's G's true vocal talent. Avoid this CD at all costs and if I can offer any advice to Ginuwine for your next CD I would hook up with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, The Underdogs, Polow Da Don and Sean Garret for your next CD."
Ginuwine - I Apologize

"R & B veteran Ginuwine's (A.K.A. Elgin Baylor Lumpkin) latest album is "I Apologize" (2007) a short but solid release. After the intro Ginuwine get's things started with the upbeat title track "I Apologize", talking to his women and apologizes for doing her wrong. Ginuwine then drops a love ballad with "Since I Found You". My own favorite track on this release is "Better Days", a heartfelt track which has a passionate Ginuwine singing soulfully in a search for a better tomorrow while giving shutouts' to friends and family. This is a premium joint to me as I can relate to it; we all have our ups and downs and work to create a better future. "It's Real" has Ginuwine crooning away, while "What It's Gunna Be" is about picking up a lady at the mall. G-Dep & Loon who are also releasing an album today, collaborate with Ginuwine on "Like Me" , a track which is featured on both albums. A decent remix of "I Apologize" is the last full length track on this release. I would not rank this release as one of Ginuwine's best but its still a stellar effort which features a couple of joints that old and new fans alike will enjoy."
