She has been working on that album for about 10 years.
I remember the buzz about her dropping an album around the time the Fighting Temptations video came out. On the Thanksgiving episode of 106, she was talking about her album and they were trying to convince her to freestyle. She didn't, of course. I don't know what's up with the shy role everytime they ask her to rap or dance. NO ONE CARES, FREE!!!!
