the fame monster album review

I went and brought Lady Gaga's "The Fame Monster" deluxe edition yesterday and just as I expected, I was not let down. It contains two discs, the 8 new songs on disc 1 and her first album "The Fame" on disc 2.  From day one I knew Gaga would be huge. She's a musical genius and isn't afraid to push the envelope. You can practically dance to every song she has and who doesn't love that? But what I love the most about this album and her writing in general is that there is always an underlying meaning in the songs that we probably will never catch. I caught a few but when I first heard "Pokerface" I didn't know it was about having sex with a dude but she was thinking about a woman. Crazy.

When I got the album I immediately wanted to hear "Monster" because on MTV she told Sway the song was about a guy who has a huge...peen. No, I didn't just wanna hear it for that reason but I wanted to know what the hell the song would sound like. As soon as I heard her say "I never seen one like that before..." I knew I was going to be in for some shit. The song isn't as sexual as I thought it would be but it was still good. She sure has some interesting stories behind these songs.

A few of my other favorites are "Dance in the Dark," "Teeth," "Paper Gangsta," and "Telephone" featuring Beyonce which is SO much better than Beyonce's "Video Phone" featuring Gaga. No one likes a guy or girl blowing up their phone while they're out having a good time. The beat is sick and this Rodney Jerkins' produced track is the best one off the album. Gaga starts off "Teeth" just as nasty as she wants to be. "Don't be scared...I've done this before..." if you couldn't figure it out from the opening line, its about oral sex. The sexy thromping makes you want to move your body.

"The Fame Monster" does not disappoint and the new songs are great along with the great ones from "The Fame." If you love to have a good time and love to dance, this is the album for you. And if you haven't already heard the first album, what the hell are you waiting for? It's hot! Viva La Gaga!

Loso's Way Album Review

Just like I thought, this album is incredible. My baby Fabolous really took his time, recollected himself, and gave us a classic album. "Loso's Way" is full of enticing beats and hot lyrics and is his most personal album to date. A few of my personal favorites on the album are "I Miss My Love," "Stay" featuring the incredibly talented Marsha Ambrosius, "Last Time" featuring my other love Trey Songz, "I'mma Do It" featuring Kobe (no, not Kobe Bryant) and "Salute" featuring Lil' Wayne.

"Stay" has been stuck in my head all day. On the track Fabolous is telling how his father left him and how he wasn't much of a father to him. He also mentions his son, who he affectionally calls Joso. He tells of the precious moments he has with his son and how he doesn't have time for the industry's drama.

"Salute" is a certified banger. "Your highest title, numero uno, I'm not that little pregnant white girl but Juno..." I wanted to die when I heard that line. Fab went so hard on his verse and Wayne did his thing too but Fab owned this track. Wayne didn't say anything memorable on the track and his verse was kind of blah to me. The chorus was stuck in my head after I heard this song though. This is the type of track that you roll down your windows and bump in the car.

"Everything, Everyday, Everywhere" is another one of my favorites. It's Fab's newest single and everytime I hear it I wanna dance. It's definitely one of those songs that'll get your hips moving in the club. (If you haven't heard it or seen the video, I posted it down below)

I'm glad I decided to buy "Loso's Way" because it didn't disappoint me at all. I wish the "Throw it in the Bag" remix with Drake would've been on the album but its all good. You can definitely listen to this from start to finish without skipping anything. This album is well worth your money so go buy it, don't download it. And also don't forget to check out the movie with the same name as the album. Fabolous just put pressure on a lot of rappers to step their game up.
