the Yo Gotti album

Back II da Basics is the fifth album by American recording artist Ginuwine. Released by Epic Records on November 15, 2005 in the United States, production for the album originally began in July 2003. Although Ginuwine initially revealed that he was planning to team with longtime contributor Timbaland on the entirety of the album, their collaboration failed to materialize due to scheduling conflicts. Instead, Ginuwine worked with a diverse roster of collaborators, including Danja, Jazze Pha, Troy Oliver, Trackmasters, and The Underdogs, on most of the tracks. Upon its release, Back II da Basics received generally mixed reviews amongst critics with many complimenting the album's mid tempo material and more mature approach, while criticizing its uptempo tracks and somewhat outdated nature. Commercially, it debuted at number twelve on the US Billboard 200 with first week sales of 74,430 copies, becoming Ginuwine's first album to miss the top ten since 1996's Ginuwine the Bachelor, his solo debut. It debuted at number three on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, scoring him his fourth consecutive top three entry. The album spawned two singles, including lead single "When We Make Love" and "I'm In Love", both of which were not as successful as previous singles and failed to make the Billboard Hot 100. In support of the album, early in 2006 Ginuwine and label mates Jagged Edge linked up on the Ladies Night Out tour. A year later, Epic produced a greatest hits compilation with almost no promotion, presumably to end their album deal with Ginuwine.

In 2003, Ginuwine released The Senior, his fourth studio album. It debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 with first week sales of 122,000 unites. It later was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales in excess of 863,000 copies. It produced three singles, each appearing on the Billboard Hot 100. Production for his fifth album began the same year.

Back II da Basics received generally mixed reviews from music critics. In his review for Allmusic, Andy Kellman gave the album three out five stars and remarked that "rather than gradually spin out with albums that steadily diminish creatively and commercially, [Ginuwine] has put together a series of releases strong enough to maintain his presence on radio." Critical of the club tracks, he felt that without them the album "would be an even better, bolder, more mature release [with] lush ballads and gentle mid tempo material." Melody Charles from SoulTracks noted that "Ginuwine's latest is a solid and sincere comeback that his fans from the "Pony" days forward will appreciate [ ] Thoughts moves seamlessly from the heady onset of physical attraction and desire to, well, the daily ups and downs that inevitably arrive in every relationship."
