Carmen Electra's album: Discuss

I finally got my hands on it (thanks 2 the ever beatiful and sexy Hamster/Guoey...aka Herman) and it's really good! Great beats...

What does the .org think about this album?~

Is Ingrid's better? (I never heard that one sad )

The mistake they made with Carmen is....they tried to market her as a female rapper eek Bad mistake.They should have simply got rid of the rapping/samples,and presented her as a dance music artist.No,she can't sing,but neither could most of Prince's other female proteges (lol).Her album should have been a fun,carefree dance album.The track "Fantasia Erotica" (which features very little rapping) is brilliant.With more songs like that,her CD would have fared better.

I absolutely agree. I think it would have been better received as simply a dance album.
All the other kids would luv2luvya...but you're my little private joy

I think Ingrid's album is a lot better than Carmen's. Half the songs are sorta spoken-word over music and the other half is sung. It's more honest than Carmen's wannabe rap CD.

Anyone every heard of Be Real/A rapper with the group
Cyprus Hill??
Carmen or Ms.Tara Patrick was dating him at the time.
So much for trying really hard.
sorry if that was over your head...jump up and try to catch the point next time.

Yeah but people it really is not that bad. You know Carmen pretty much took Robin Power's place. Robin was suppose to be the female rapper with that sexy, feminnie image. Prince just used the idea for Robin and applied it to Carmen.

Oh and P.S. I loved the album. I got it on audio cassette when it first came out. It is fun to break a sweat to. smile

Honestly, the music on the album is decent for the most part. Carmen doesn't have the best of flows. "Everybody get on up" is okay.

Horrible album. About the only thing I can get into from the album is "Get On Up".
Andy is a four letter word.
