Amber Rose featuring Wiz Khalifa - “Fame”

on Jan 11 in Amber Rose • Pop • Trash • Wiz Khalifah

Kim Kardashian really messed it up for all the other non-singin’ chicks who have come after her cuz what before was a passing curiosity whenever one of these no-talents decided to get their “Mama I Want To Sing” on is now met with a guttural growl from the depths of one’s soul that sounds like “Ugh, really???” when expressed out loud… at least that’s how I feel.

So it was with a bit of hesitation that I clicked “play” on this debut single from rapper arm candy/whipped cream flavored vodka enthusiast Amber Rose and her attempt to join the “You Tried It” Pop Star Academy of which Paris Hilton and Heidi Montag are both esteemed members.  I’m glad, or perhaps relieved, that La Rose opted to not go the “rapstress from tha hood” route as the anonymous robopop persona is a much better fit for her um… gifts.  The actual track sounds like some random background music in a Selena Gomez/Demi Lovato Disney tween movie when the girl realizes her dreams and gets the cheesy CW teen drama guy at the end—- or some mess like that.  Oh, and her boo Wiz Khalifa shows up midway through to give the song that bootleg Beyoncé/Jay-Z chemistry that we all need in our lives and to lend the track some cred(?) with a few choice insignificant nursery rhymes about… well, who cares really?

So yeah, A. Ro’s “Fame” doesn’t even begin to approach the killer classic trash jam genius of “Tardy for The Party”, but we can all breathe easy that it isn’t the stillborn aural atrocity that was Kim K’s “Jam” either.  I ain’t mad atcha Ambs, get yo’ paper chase on!
