18 million.
That is the impressive number of views newcomer Kreayshawn has amassed with the video for her debut single ‘Gucci Gucci’. A figure rendered all the more jaw-dropping when discovering that much of it accumulated prior to the 21 year old signing with Columbia Records.
Yet, as her recent deal with the Sony Music imprint attests, this Oakland native’s buzz is undeniable. Which begs the question: just who is Kreayshawn?
That Grape Juice sat down with the femcee, chatting it up with her about her journey thus far, the White Girl Mob, issues of colour and whether she feels her own has hindered her from being taken seriously, Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, and more.
As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to.

The media is going to force her down our thoughts until we like her like they did Nicki Minaj.

YouTube views don’t really mean much.
Half the time folks are curious the other half of the they’re sending links to their friends like “Yo, watch this shit. Can you believe this mess???” So yeah. I know I’ve contributed to MANY people’s vid count and NOT liked what I saw at all.

GTBOH (get this bitch outta here) you guys had to pay her all of $2 for this interview. #DEAD DEAD DEAD! Kreayshawn, I’m gonna just be honest girl. It’s not that you’re white. You’re just wack as fuck. Your writers are garbage, you’re ugly as hell. Your ass is flat and your stylist should be shot. Get butt implants, ref>>> Onika Miraj. Get breast implants, ref>>> O.M
Get your face broken and restructured, ref>>> Lyndsey Lohans little sister. Leak some nudes via “hacked Facebook”. Show song crotch shots while exiting your limo, and finally dance on top of club tables in a drunken haze. Oh, I forgot… Make a sex tape with Rick Ross and viola…. Superstar!

The music industry in full of people with less talent than her (ex: Soulja Boy). Why can’t she have a career in Hip Hop? Yeah the hook in Gucci Cucci is wack but the rest was lyrically tight and pretty funny. All rapping is nowadays is rhyming over beats, she did this sucessfully and is why she’s generating buzz. If she was really that horrible MTV and Lil Wayne wouldnt of known about her.

Well…..This interview was interesting and enlightening. It made me wanna know more about her. The Left Eye track ain’t too bad on the ears. I still have my reservations but if I can accept Nicki and her nonsense I don’t see why I can’t accept her.

Record labels just want to jump on any bandwagon that they believe could potentially be a cash cow. That being said, just because she weaseled a record deal out of some old white suit that sees green doesn’t mean she will be successful or relevant, or that her disaster of an album will ever see the light of day…

She cannot rap and I don’t think she will last long in the music industry. That’s just my opinion.

Can’t hate on her for getting signed.
She found a buzz and it worked for her so far.
I don’t listen to the Kre-ay-shawn’s music but she has a fun element and she just doing her.
Nothing wrong with trying to make them coins.

@Tina nicki already established herself before all those whities took a liking to nicki. Nicki didn’t force herself down NOBODY’S throat you either loved her or hated her. Only thing that got her to where she is is a good team and PR
