here i stand

star track: this ain’t sex 

five points:
-all the cameos in the world can’t save this album, though i kind of see how you would sell out the Apollo
-nice photo shoot for the cover art, shoulda hired an editor instead, this shit is too long and not in a good way
-you’re somebody’s husband and daddy now, shouldn’t you act like it?
-i can’t think of anything else, so the beauty of this being my format is that i’m not finishing it if i can’t.
final thought: chris brown did this album better

all i feel

is sorry for this man. i mean, it’s not like he doesn’t try hard for attention, cavorting with Superhead, sex tape with Kardashian (who isn’t as offensive as Paris Hilton only because she’s more attractive), even getting with Whitney for a minute, but i guess this one isn’t going to live down Brandy’s shadow, though he might be trying to outdo her with the “edgy” angle. whatever.

star tracks: meh. they’re all pretty disposable
five points:
-lyrical highlights so bad they jump off the track: “guess i’m polkaroo”, “yes, i put it in her mouth”, “one is my jump off, the other is my wife”, every word in “girl from the bronx”
-he rhymes “bitches” with “bitches”, even Mr T (from the Block Party) did better than that- “late” with “great”, besides, he’s not from Chicago (R. Kelly and Kanye do this shit all the time)
-complete waste of a Styles P cameo-BOO
-can we stop with the voice altering technologies already? sheesh. and the terrible background sounds, the crying, the dialogues
-if you reference the sex tape, and have a sex tape release party, hmmm….
final thought: usher did the infidelity record better

the declaration

yes, a doubly use-full title. in the interests of brevity and ADD (no, i will not default to the mash-up equivalent to writing, but blogs are kind of that anyways). also, now that i have a full time job and stuffs, i am introducing the 5 point review:

album: the declaration 
artist: ashanti
star track: you’re gonna miss (how to be dumped gracefully)
5 points:
-she sure one-upped Mimi on this effort
-good look “emancipating” herself from JaRule
-no track on here that is built on one word, YIPPEE!
-took the rihanna concept (“murderwa”) to the next level and actually killed the fool in the video, drama!
-when your mama’s your manager, of course you have to do a song about her with diane warren…
 final thought: mediocrity matures to a point where there might be a promising career yet
