Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Southern Rap Sensations KHIA is the original Thug Misses aka The Queen Of The South and when she steps to the mic, thugs and thug misses stop, look, and listen. This lyrical goddess is releasing her new album, GANGSTRESS.

Famous for her Gold Record, "My Neck, My Back," from the album THUG MISSES, KHIA has been touring relentlessly for the past four years. "Being out on-the-road touring, doing a lot of shows, going overseas, it all motivated me to make this album. The response has been great. I'm a realist, but I love what I do."

That raw, brutally honest realness is evident in KHIA's first single from GANGSTRESS "Snatch The Cat Back," an ode to KHIA's own brand of modern female empowerment. KHIA's songs have an irresistible tunefulness and catchiness to them and the production on GANGSTRESS is impeccably clean, allowing KHIA's smooth, signature vocals to rise above the dirty south beats and synthesizers. With explicit lyrics as provocative as they are self-aware, GANGSTRESS extracts the roughness of the streets and matches it to the smoothness of KHIA's creamy voice. What's most surprising about GANGSTRESS is not the overt sexuality of the songs' lyrics, but the sheer willfulness of their creator and the reflective, pensive nature of her rhymes.

To date, KHIA has sold over 800,000 records, but she never forgets the reason she's on top. "My fans recognize my realness, and I'm always touring, no matter where. I love to interact with my fans, because at the end of the day, it's all about them!"

1.0 out of 5 stars (Rating:1 out of 10- -0.5 stars) Khia Must Have Slept With Some Powerful Record Execs., August 20, 2006

By	Chandler "Infamous" (Atlanta (College Park), Georgia) - See all my reviews

Okay, just about everyone said the correct things about this album. Listening to this album, it is very trashy (and not just the content either). The same person who brought us the one hit wonder single "My Neck, My Back" off the horrible Thug Misses album back in summer of '02 brings us this right here. It's music right here that has rap (and sometimes hip hop) given a bad name, because if it's explicitness. Khia just adds to the cesspool of what is going on in rap (especially with the female rappers bad reputation).

Not only the explicit content that goes on in this album. Everything else is horrible. Production is unbarrable. And Khia shows no improvement since her last album (take it from someone who has listened to that...as well as this). Infact it's possible that she's gotten worse in the past 4 years. Don't even put this in your CD player, because it will be pain on the lenses. You may want to use this as a frisbee or something to break buds on if you smoke, or a drink coaster, because it doesn't deserve to be heard.

There is nothing good about this album at all. And it's true, there are people (such as those who gave this 5 stars) will think this is the best they've ever heard. Apparently she's fooled over 800,000 people (the amount of records shes sold according to the product description). I SERIOUSLY question your taste for music if you give this 2 stars. My cousin is a fan of that type of music, and I saw this at his house and just happened to check it out one day, and was supprised that I made it through this.

Now I don't like leaving 1 star reviews with out giving advice to the artest. If Khia wishes to remain in the game, she is going to need to do a 360 change with her style, becuase what shes got going on right now is highly unacceptable.

1.0 out of 5 stars What The He11 Is This?, July 26, 2006

By	Fish Cheeks (In Your Dreams) - See all my reviews

I want to know how Khia can wake up and look herself in the mirror every morning. This CD is vulgar. Everything that comes out of Khia's mouth is raunchy and just straight up dumb. She wants people to "respect" her? Hoodrats don't get respect. She's been called a b!tch, but she's never been called a h0e! Well, let me be the first to call her one! Other than that, there isn't anything likeable or positive about this CD at all. Just trash. This is the worst album of 2006. Believe that!

1.0 out of 5 stars A mind is a terrible thing to waste-this CD is proof!, October 23, 2006

By	Andre M. "brnn64" (Mt. Pleasant, SC United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Once again, the "queen" (?) of illiterate ghetto garbage gangster (c)rap is at it again (with apologies to my friends and family still in the hood)! Somebody needs to chain the record studio doors and add armed guards to keep this poor child from wasting good Cd space again!

I was at my nephew's apartment last weekend and he was wasting electricity by playing this junk. I asked "Who the heck is that?" "Queen of the South" he replied. "If that's so, I'm moving out west!" was my rejoiner.

Once again, as in "Thug Misses," sister girl is having a field day displaying her ignorance on wax. The reasons she gives to "Respect Me" aren't any reason for anyone to do as the title suggests. The "song" B--MFGD" is little more than the chanting of these curse words that seem to represent about 90% of her VERY limited vocabulary.

In "Ah-Ha" she has the audacity to thank God for her success while spouting some most typically unGodly language toward her distractors, or "them @@##$$! @#$ haters" as she puts it. F--- Me Tonight is WAY more sleazy than sexy and "Questions for the N(egroes)" could have easily been recorded off of a streetcorner conversation between drunken bimbos. Khia, there are these places called schools and libraries-go to them!

Yeah, I know, some of the fellas are making worse records than this (Believe it or not!) and I have equally condemned them in other posts. So there's no double standard here. Trash is trash in my book.

In short, this is Khia's second sickening collection of poorly written sexual boasts and hatred for her distrators. Take this CD out for target practice! Use it as a frisbee! Just don't pollute your CD player with it or use hard earned money to support the continuation of recorded ignorance. To break the language down for those illiterate enough to like this mess-DON'T BUY THIS JUNK!
