@VA Stand Up
…one of the people at CB’s listening session weeks ago said he remade an SWV song and it sounded great. I’m expecting a mixture of sounds just like Graffiti had R&B (Single Like Me) , europop (IYA, Pass Out), pop ballads (Crawl, So Cold), urban ( ICTY, Wait). I don’t believe that I have to like every song on an album for it to be great. I loved Graffiti Deluxe and I loved 15 out of 19 songs.

CB also lived in NYC for a number of years (which is how he knows his homegirl Moe) before getting signed to Jive so I think he has influences from his VA and NYC upbringing too.

I heard about the album listening party, I commented on it perhaps on another post. I read the tweets of some execs and others that were there and they said A LOT of positive things about it! I am excited and I haven't lost hope! I just have a feeling that he is going to be rapping more than I thought on the album and I don't want to hear that! I liked 'LAMN' at first, but now that I hear it more I am sick of it. Especially when they play it on the radio cause they have to beep out all the cursing and it sounds weird as hell. I do want and expect a variety of sounds on FAME but I was just REALLY hoping that "LAMN' was gonna be the ONLY record he was rapping on. I had enough of the rapping from the mixtapes!

I also know he spent some years in Harlem when he first got signed. He was living with his manager Tina (*side eye* ) that's how he met Teyana and Moe, but he was born in a small southern town in VA and that's where he spent the majority of his youth! Being in a different enviornment can rub off on you, but he seems to have changed a lot. I'm not feeling 'this' Breezy at all. I think the fame might have changed him.

He needs to stop with this rapping! It was fine on the mixtapes (the first one mind you) but now it's over kill! He looks like he really 'thinks' he is hard now and it's just soo cheesy! All this n*gga this, n*gga that is NOT believeable coming from him! He has even been caught saying 'blood' on camera few times! He for damn sure ain't no gang banger! He been hanging with The Game corny ass too long! I hate when people try to rep what they are NOT! His people can't tell him the truth to his face and tell him that he sounds corny! Plus it can't be good for his image! I wouldn't be suprised if Harvey from TMZ puts this on his blog! SMH. He needs to think abuot how he presents himself!
