1.0 out of 5 stars Limelite Luv & Niteclubz by Da Brat, July 20, 2003

This review is from: Limelite Luv & Niteclubz (Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)

In 1994 the foul-mouthed tomboy known as Da Brat released her debut album, Funkdafied, via So So Def records and went down in the history books as the first ever solo female rapper to score a platinum album. In 1996, Da Brat followed up her debut with another platinum album Anuthatantrum, which was easily her best material to date. After taking a while off she again returned with yet another platinum album 2000's Unrestricted. Now with the So So Def records getting a second wind (thanks entirely to Bone Krusher's infectious hit 'Never Scared'), Jermaine Durpi is releasing Da Brat's fourth (and final?) album, however its clearly not ready for the retail market.

Shawntaee` Harris (aka Da Brat) is most widely known for her tart tongue and rapid fast delivery, but there are times on this album when she raps as quickly as possible when there really is no reason for it, example being "World Premiere" the album's sole posse cut. The first single "In Luv Witchu" is boring, repeatative hip pop that has been done over and over again. In fact, there is nothing on this album Da Brat can call her own.

Truth is she sold out. She went from a tomboy represtin' the streets & gangsta rap to a sex obsessed whore. She stole DJ Entice's "I F**ked Your Boyfriend", a big techno hit amoung white teenagers and made it "Boom!" the album's incredibly weak second single. Besides a weak performance from Da Brat, we get to hear Mariah Carey at her absolute worst ('Got a Thing 4 U') & an even a disappointing performance from neo-soul new-comer Anothony Hamiliton ('I Was the One') who's promosing vocals blessed the Nappy Root's "Po' Folks".

I highly advise fans to skip this release because its not the same artist that we fell in love with, its not the rebellious tomboy, its not the pioneer of the female movement in the rap game, its a cheap copy of such female rap garbage as Trina, Khia & Gangsta Boo, talentless women who make it based on a shock appeal alone. If its not by Foxy Brown or Lil Kim, I'm no longer going to be checking for females in the game. This is purley uninspirational copy cat trash.

With references to Spongebob, Da Brat shows lack of effort or just loss of skill. Luckily, the production and guest appearances are on point.
