Rasheeda is an emcee whose name I'd been hearing from time to time, but she hasn't really ever received a whole lot of buzz. At any rate, I picked up her latest album Dat Type of Gurl, and it's pretty decent.
One satisfying thing is that Rasheeda does a good job with otherwise played-out subject matter, as shown on the blingin' tracks "U Can Get It" and "Flawsin". This is also evident on sexual songs like "Touch Ya Toes (Bend Ova)" as well as the first single "My Bubble Gum". But even more addictive than those songs is the ode to her catchphrase, "Georgia Peach", which is what she calls her goods (but sexuality doesn't ALWAYS work; more on that later).
There are a few filler tracks on here though, like "Dance Flo" (with Lil' Mama) and the obligatory Jazze Phizzle productizzle, "Holla At Me" (also featuring Birdman), not to mention the questionable three-in-a-row of "Doin This", "Let It Clap" and "Neva Wanna Leave" (featuring Fabo of D4L, Akon and Kandi, respectively). The latter is a sexual song gone wrong, and Kandi also shows up on the necessary end-of-album remix-of-the-first-single, along with Diamond and Princess of Crime Mob. Princess actually doesn't sound half-bad this time around, but Diamond's speed-rapping third verse leaves much to be desired.
There's also "Poppin' Bottles", where Rasheeda sounds fine but Pastor Troy sounds wack as usual. I was still going to give this album three-and-a-half stars, but I knocked it down to three when I discovered that half of the songs on here were already on her previous album, Georgia Peach. Dat Type of Gurl isn't garbage, but it might have been worth at least four stars had she left the guest stars behind (and if more of the songs were original).
