These leaked. Most folks dont really dig Kreay's music, but i think its fair to at least listen to the artist making the most noise in the Bay at the moment, whether you want to admit it or not. Here are my thoughts on it after a few spins.

So far, the stand out tracks are Blase Blase, Ch00k Ch00k Tare, Breakfast, & Luv Haus.

I can tell you, i think "Gucci Gucci" really seems out of place here for one reason or another...not sure why. I really dont like "Like It or Love it" with Kid Cudi, but props to her for working with him. "Summertime" is still a terrible song. "Left Ey3" has a dope beat, but not feelin the content and the hook is pretty bad IMHO. "Bff" is just a weird song in general...its super pop-ish and reminds me of that "Friday" song kinda. However, im oddly drawn to it. "Luv Haus" is far and away the best song on here and i think she is at her best when she isn't actually rapping. I didn't like 2 Chainz on Breakfast at first, but his verse has grown on me and that song is probably the best all around song in terms of appeal on the whole album. Its on some Nikki Minaj shit and has the appeal for the radio heads. "Twerkin!!!" is kinda hot hearing her talk about strippers grinding on her...nothing wrong with a chick going both ways. The Ruler is not a good song in my eyes...not feelin it at all.

Overall, she is sort of a mash up of Missy Elliot, Nikki Minaj, with a tiny splash of MIA here and there. This album is really good in terms of directing the masses...it has a bit for everyone and is a smart way to introduce yourself to those outside of the West Coast. There is a few Bay-heavy themes in here that other regions may not get, but isn't every album kind of like that when you rep your city/region? However, she never leans on her Bay roots to sell a song...she just does her thing and she gets props from me on that.

All in all, i would have to say its a solid debut album teetering on very good. And she doesn't say nigga once...just for the record.

Kreayshawn's Somethin 'Bout Kreay: A First Listen
By Dan Weiss
Published Thu., Sep. 20 2012 at 9:18 AM

Kreayshawn-Somethin-Bout-Kreay.jpg
Kreayshawn's contribution to Western culture is one classic line: "One big room/ Full of bad bitches." It's still awaiting its hot song. Her success is somewhere between William Hung and Jesse Camp and the 8th Street Kidz. She's an eliminated contestant without a reality show. From her phenomenally ugly name to her phenomenally ugly album cover, I only wish her tastelessness was a joy. I wish she could prove heads wrong about white and female rappers. I wish she had merit. But this album stands as much of a chance of being good as Spike Lee stands a chance of endorsing V-Nasty.

"Blasé Blasé"
"Can't hear haters/ Blasé blasé" is cheerful motto from someone almost certain to go down as one of the worst-selling artists in Columbia history. The beat is Missy Elliott's "Lose Control" as arranged for FruityLoops, with verses speed-rapped in order to capitalize on Azealia Banks, who smokes Kreayshawn like bratwurst. We're not supposed to care about this kind of stuff anymore, but she rhymes "numbers" with "number." I assume she can't hear me.

"Ch00k Ch00k Tare"

This one's completely indistinct except for the truly random lines in Russian about a "devotchka" followed by a "rushin'" pun and eventually -- bingo cards out if you please -- "Give that bitch a bone and take her ass home." The beat is a mess. Did Columbia even fund this thing?

"Gucci Gucci"

There's a legit chance Kreayshawn did not notice that the first three songs on her album have two-word titles. This is the one she's "famous" for, which means Lil Wayne jacked the pretty-good beat and you might even remember small details in five years -- her glittery Minnie Mouse ears in the video, or the "swag pumping out my ovaries" line, or the Nicki Minaj outtake-level Arby's diss. Remember the Product G&B, those sweet singers on Santana's Supernatural hit "Maria Maria"? Their album got shelved, was never released. Back in the day, this is the kind of album that would've never come out.

"Summertime"

"Sweetie" and "bikini" don't rhyme, "Hawaii" and "high" just induces a cringe, and if you're playing a drinking game involving the words "bitch" or "haters," your keys are getting taken away four tracks in. Is this song supposed to be "fun"? "Light"? I think it's about her stealing your girlfriend to take her camping or something. The much-booed V-Nasty is on this one. God, what an asshole.

"Left Eye"

Finally a track worthy of Kreayshawn's troll potential. This manages to exhumed Left Eye (I'm open) and Amy Winehouse (ugh) for crucial metaphors on a madcap tale of revenge on a cheating boyfriend, with a catchy chorus that's not at all assuaged by its "Rest it peace!" chants. It's updated for the viral generation of course ("I find it odd that your Twitter page is private"), though not too up to date (this album's unlikely to toss off a better line than "I'm Lorena Bobbitt chillin' in your bed/ I'm Britney Spears on hella drugs and I just shaved my head"). The beat sounds like classic Lex Luger/creepy Gucci. Might keep this one -- at least it's an inspired attempt to disgust.

"Like It or Love It"

Kid Cudi's so weird with these almost-rock songs, but this is B.A.D. Music for sure. She rips off Nicki again ("All you bitches is my bastards") and shoots for the Juggalos ("I'm dope/ You're on dope get it") over a one-note melody that isn't likely to cross over.

"K234ys0nixz"

"Oop, I didn't read your Tweet cuz I was making money." Maybe we should add "Tweet" to the drinking game list. This is a dance track, though her budget doesn't even cover Auto-Tune, which means "Kreaysonic" is a state of sound most conducive to low bit rates. "All them haters ask me what I'm doing/ I just simply tell 'em Kreaysonic" isn't a possible sentence.

"BFF (Bestfriend)"

God, her cadence is so annoying. This is an awfully banal pop song. What would she do if you're her best friend? Go to the movies, smoke some doobies, or just hang out and do whatever you like! New ground for pop? No, not even a new updated way to say it. She's not even satisfyingly obnoxious. She's just... what is she?

"Twerkin!!!!!"
Diplo would suck a dollar out of a cactus' dickhole.

"Breakfast (Syrup)"

Anyway no, seriously. Let's talk for a second about "trollgaze." Maybe you expected me to love this record because I grew fascinated with Tyler, the Creator's pathos until he topped my 2011 albums list, or because I think Lana Del Rey is mostly wonderful with words and her hanged-herself-from-the-Hollywood-sign tortured Lynchian actress shtick works as torture porn with the occasional cutting insight. But what is Kreay supposed to be? She's not emo (like Kitty Pryde), not satire (like Die Antwoord), not particularly funny or slutty. She mentions Adderall and Twitter and various 21st century indulgences without really revealing so much as a state of mind. If she's happy, angry, horny, sad, you can't tell from her songs. "Breakfast" isn't a metaphor, in case you were wondering. She just lists breakfast foods and talks about stacks of money in between. 2 Chainz does that thing where he yells his name.

"Go Hard (La. La. La.)"

This song almost appears to have a subject: people at minimum wage jobs, although it's unclear why they'd steal their mom's credit card to "do circles in the parking lot." She's not really dissing or advising them. And not that "go hard" has a particularly esoteric meaning, but she genuinely does not appear to know what it means. Exceptionally annoying.

"The Ruler"

If your song's called "The Ruler" and it doesn't involve Slick Rick, it better be about yardsticks. First she talks about nothing but gold for the first verse, then a relief, she is calling herself Slick Rick. But wait, why?

"Luv Haus"

A whiny synth-pop song at a crawling latter-day Britney tempo without the hooks or, gosh, the singing. No one would dance to this. No one would listen to it, either. And what's the final moment? Is that a dubstep drop? This is indeed "trollgaze" -- it's music for Youtube commenters. Unheard-of pointlessness. Swag: pumping out her butthole. One of the worst albums of the year.

Skimmed through it once quickly. Her voice is insanely annoying to me. Pretty much unlistenable. Some of the beats sounded ok but I couldn't stick around long enough to notice. I'll possibly give it another shot sometime.

I feel like Kreayshawn aged about 5 years from releasing "Gucci Gucci" to what she is now. It's like first she was a cute little white girl from Oakland, but now she's a grunge hipster from Seattle. wtf?


DL'ed the album to give it a chance since i liked Kreayshawns earlier music, and i still think she's somewhat interesting, but at first listen-through i wasn't really feeling it.

Props for creativity on the album art though.

And someone please get rid of v-nasty and put her somewhere far far far far away.

Oh yeah, i'd still smash lil debbie.
