    Colbie Continues to Fall Short

    Music Not Even Worthy of the Porcelain Throne

    This has got to be one of the worst collabo albums I have heard in years. Not sure about. Anyone else, but I cherish my funds too much to waste them on bullshit.

  • This rapper has caught my attention with his 2009 video, Dumb It Down, and that song led me to his expressive ways to bring attention to what most in the WPOS ignore. Not jumping on a bandwagon of consciousness, Lupe Fiasco has made this art form part of his signature. With this flash to the past, Lupe shined light on the problems with society02011/10/09

  • After being introduced to this band via the Star & Buc Wild's Morning Show, this band has become a favorable treat. Twisted, slightly deranged, but likable. Not too many alt rock, grunge (or whatever their genre may be) bands are on my playlist. However, I am glad that their single Cold was played for me as I get the same vibes from this next album. Not a druggie02011/10/08

  • If disappointment had a "stage name" it would be 'Beyonce.' Whyyyy was this shit released? Was she upset with her fans? Was this a "fuck you" to the industry? The "Double CD = Double Crap" Rule definitely applies here. This project was an example of an artist having too much garbage and deciding to off-load it on unsuspecting dedicated fans.

  • Once again I find myself struggling with an album from Jennifer Hudson. This project seems like a Mary J Blige special (depressing women looking for love, may have found it, they love themselves, are loved by God, who the hell knows).02011/08/14

  • Priscilla Renea is an artist that was held under the radar, but drew my interests through "Dollhouse." I've wondered what became of this young songstress with a massive amount of talent and am still looking for her. Although the album had great music, vocals, there was a lack of a congruent concept. She went from a young girl singing tunes about love with a strong presence02011/07/13

  • I keep attempting to give Big Boi & his crew opportunities and I continue to have lukewarm feeling. Sir Lucious was not an interesting album. Instead it confirmed that hot music tracks are the honey used to attract listeners. The lyrics are not doing the trick for me. Nice try.

  • This is a sketchy find being that Amazon has become known as the spot that promos fraudulent albums for sale. This seems to be such an album.

  • To think I thought that So Far Gone was Drake's first album the way it was getting promoted on the mainstream's market; only to find that it was merely a mixtape and this album would be his first studio creation. I guess things have gotten to the point where commercial artists begin to pat themselves on the back over nonsense. I have tried really hard to give this album a chance. Listened to it twice (a rare thing I do) and still I'm not impressed with Drake's abilities a02010/12/29
