Hoodstar Reviews:
Way better than Powerballin 
2007-12-26 - I don't think all the critics actually listened to the whole album. No, its not as good as Jackpot, but its by far better than Poweballin. Overall the only song that kinda sucks is Bounce That. Other than that, I like all the songs
i liked it, no vomit! 
2007-11-08 - Well i thought it was a good cd! no vomit for me, and as far as iknow i've never vomited from my ears, that was a pretty idiotic metaphor. this isnt the most lyricly sound cd but great if your havin a party and need some hype music up in thurr!
1-1/2 stars -- He's STILL wack??? 
2007-08-15 - I started laughing when I discovered that the average customer rating for Chingy's third album Hoodstar was two stars. And aside from most of the other reviewers, I never liked "Right Thurr" OR "Holidae In" (or any OTHER song from Jackpot). Then I accidentally borrowed the edited version of Powerballin' from the library, but even THAT version was wack. And the wackness continues with Chingy's third album, Hoodstar.
Now, "Pullin' Me Back" is much better than most of his songs, but it's really the only song here worth listening to. Normally I could give Chingy the benefit of the doubt because some of the beats are good, but this is his third album; he should understand the concept of rapping by now. And as another reviewer said, looking at some of the song titles will signal to you that there are a lot of played-out topics; take your pick from "Club Gettin' Crowded", "Dem Jeans" or "U a Freak (Nasty Girl)". And let's not forget necessary product placement: "Brand New Kicks" and "Nike Aurr's and Crispy T's". (And why is Chingy still doing that "-urr" stuff? Nelly doesn't even do that any more.)
"Let's Ride" sounds like a disposable R&B song for the club rather than a rap song, and it features the annoying adlibs of Fatman Scoop. And although Mannie Fresh doesn't do that "Fre-fre-*scratch*-fre-fre-fresh" part in the aforementioned "Brand New Kicks", he still falls when he says something about being richer than Richie. The already questionable "A** In Da Aurr" is made worse by vocals from someone called Spiffy (Chingy and Spiffy? Sounds like some Playhouse Disney characters; all that's missing are Happy, Jumpy and Smiley.) Anyway, the obligatory shake-that-a** song "Bounce That" is censored on the album, but it's still wack. Even the album's intro is wack.
Not even a we-are-the-world song ("Cadillac Door") can save this album. I don't know what kind of star Chingy thinks he is, but he isn't one in MY eyes. Hoodstar is only best utilized if you need a new pizza cutter or something.

hoodstar? he's from the hood? another lie.
2007-06-14 - Let me clear the air here. I never liked this clown. The day i heard "right thurr" my immediate response was that bad grammar is the key to being the centerfold of public humiliation, but subject of envy to idiots.
This album, however, is something different. I felt something new. Unfortunately, its nothing positive. The feeling i got was an avalanche of diarrhea ready to implode if i didn't make way to the bathroom. Yes, this album is THAT bad. If not worse, and I'm sure it's gone beyond the limitation of everything negative.
As for the word "hoodstar" who are we kidding? in who's neighborhood will this idiot be worshipped? His hometown must be nudging and itching in their pants for this guy to collapse and die. NOTHING in his lyrics is remotely close to original, if at all listenable. His voice sounds like a prepubescent teen demanding lunch money. Worst of all, all the songs on this album (as usual) involve bragging about clothes and other material objects. If i wanted to hear about clothes, I'll go read the ads in a Macys newsletter and go shopping to my heart's content without this idiot in mind.
I hope he presumes himself as a thug, and tries to start problems with one. Watching him get shot might be the only publicity I'd divert my full attention to. Other than that, this is one album that makes a great dust magnet and drink coaster.
save yourself the agony. buy something worthwhile. unless you're low on drink coasters and in need of something immediately but unavailable everywhere else, you can find some use in this album. Just think twice about opening it and considering playing the CD.
this album is REALLY REALLY BAD
2007-02-07 - this album really sucks this clown can't rap who the heck does he think he is an he prolly aint even from the hood y the heck is he releasing an album called Hoodstar???? PS. DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM I DON'T EVEN KNOW Y ANYBODY WOULD SIGN THIS CLOWN.
