    The Oakland MC's debut explores her skill at giving hormonally bonkers post-Odd Future shock rap a bratty, ashtray-Madonna spin.

    Thanks to her Valley Girl charisma and omnivorous sexual gaze she mostly succeeds. [Dec 2012, p.73]

    Her delivery--nasal, slightly nagging--inevitably begins to grate long before the album's running time is up. But there are points of interest that take Kreayshawn beyond empty attempts at swag.

    Kreay indulges the full breadth of her influences, turning Somethin into a series of wan genre studies.

  1. A good album overall. Really under-rated. There's 13 songs on the album and when you listen to it, you'll feel like you're listening to 13 different albums, all merged into one. Kreayshawn pays tribute to her Gucci Gucci flow on tracks 'Left Ey3' spitting rapid verses over an electronic beat, whereas on tracks like 'BFF' and 'Luv Haus' we see Kreay drift into a more R'n'B/Pop genre, keeping her eye out for a more mature audience. A great album and personally I believe this deserved a lot more than '20K copies' in America. Expand

    I think is a really good album, don't take so seriously her lyrics, she's just having fun and she want you to have it too. The production is amazing and her voice is something new, and her style is unique , you can't deny it. Expand
  3. I really love "Gucci Gucci." Even though when Kreayshawn stepped onto radio airplay in 2011, I really love the idea of a silly but pastiche album with a few extra set of hooks, bars and some of those spitfired lyrics. I think this is one of my favorite albums of the year so far. I gotta give credit, I heard that song on the radio a million times and on YouTube. Although some of the tracks looks pretty good, but sorta decent. But whenever the lyric "One big room full of bad bitches" starts to pop out, I couldn't get enough of Kreayshawn. Expand
  4. Everything about this album makes sense except for her lyrics... She kinda ruined what could've been really great songs. There are definitely some decent songs on here though. The only song I think that really sucks is "Summertime". Expand
