Kreayshawn's 15 minutes of fame expired in 2011 when her chirpy Yay Area anthem "Gucci Gucci" drove the Internet nuts. So the worst thing about her debut is that it arrives a year too late. The highlights are "Blasé Blasé," where she flips off her many haters, and "Summertime," where she and V-Nasty describe a drug-fueled vacation in homoerotic terms. (Don't worry, guys -- she quickly adds that she's going "Left Ey3" on her cheating boyfriend.) Though Kreay tries mightily, she's too Twitter-ized to focus for 45 minutes; she should stick to EP-length blasts of energy like Flo Rida.
