Bow Wow & Omarion's album title gives the illusion that these boys are actually battling during songs, which wouldn't make sense since Bow Wow raps and Omarion sings. They're actually just singing/rapping about catering to women, being rich, young, and hot, and the interesting topic of sticking to a girl your friends don't approve of.
The tracks that I found tolerable are: "Hoodstar," an ego booster, their single "Girlfriend," which is a description of their ideal girl, and "Listen," an R. Kelly-Usher type duet about giving your boy a heads up on his cheating girlfriend. The latter is the format they should've followed for the whole album.
The tracks that were intolerable are: "He aint gotta know," the T-Pain produced track is oddly about volunteering to be a secret lover to a girl who already has a boyfriend, "Bachelor Pad," a cocky lyrical "Cribs" episode with a wasted piccolo beat, "Number Ones," a horrible attempt at Hispanic sabor mixed with a beat that seems stolen straight out of Jay-Z's American Gangster, and "Baby girl," a song about liking someone against all odds, which I had to stop listening to once Omarion sang "She going to be the mother to all my chilren"—that's right, without a "d."
The ones you should iTune are:
"Hey baby (jump off)"
This Rick Rubin produced track is definitely a party song that should be their next single. It shows more of the playful side of these boys, instead of that fake thug crap. Sweetie, people who get facials are not intimidating. (Okay, 50 Cent?)
"Another Girl"
On this track, the boys sing about trying to convince a girl that she's the only one for them. Good luck. The video game beat is surprisingly a great club beat addition.
