Bow Wow & Omarion - Face Off

Album Review by: Quinton Hatfield
Wednesday, December 12, 2007


Bow Wow & Omarion-Faceoff.Bow Wow and Omarion is something the music listener should check for, especially when the two young men can make hits. One of the hottest records Bow Wow and Omarion put together was “Let Me Hold You”, that record was big wasn’t it? The crazy thing about it is that you have Bow Wow who is a young rapper and Omarion who is also a young R&B singer, the two have plenty of years ahead of them. Now the two decided to collab which will have the teenage girls screaming even more. With the new album “Face Off” Bow Wow and Omarion does show tha they can do more than just a single. They give you a full album.

The album starts off strong with the self-titled track “Face Off”. The two musical artists perform well on this too as their chemistry was excellent. Bow Wow and Omarion let you know from the jump what the album will be hitting for at all aspects. While Omarion is doing his thing singing on the beat in a timely manner Bow Wow on the other hand let’s you know they will crush the game. Following up right after that is “Hood Star” where Bow Wow and Omarion show off their swagger on how they do it big and can give any girl the world of their dreams.

Taking it back to the time when these two dropped “Let Me Hold You” it comes back again with “Girlfriend”. This is the perfect hit for the ladies and the way these two laid it down on this track it’s easy to understand why the females go crazy for them. Everything possible incorporated to make a hit song was well developed on this one. What made it a hot song was how Omarion did his thing in the beginning singing to perfection. Bow Wow then had the nice flowing words for the ladies that they will love. Women have a softness for beautiful words (as quoted in Robert Green’s book “The Art of Seduction”). The format of the song was dope as it didn’t follow the usual R&B/Hip-hop artist format with the rapper rhyming on all three verses and the R&B singer just doing the hook. Omarion came on first then Bow Wow did his job and at the end they both came strong.

Now it was times on “Face Off” where Bow and O just tried to do a little too much. Take a listen to “Hey Baby” (Jumpoff) and see. The sound was a little too “Poppish” taking away from the R&B/hip-hop vibe the two usually smash when they get to-together. The verses from Bow Wow was just a little weak and Omarion just wasn’t getting it. There are times though when you are checking out a girl and you want to get at her, but she has a man. As you watch you see her man treats her very bad and you want to step in. If you ever been in that situation “He Ain’t Gotta Know” is the track for you. This time though instead of just taking the girl away ya’ll just have a side thing going on, hey the song says he don’t gotta know right, but it’s good music too and that’s the whole point.

If Omarion and Bow Wow continue to make music who knows what the future holds for these two. The creativity and even just the idea of “Face Off” was genius. Putting these two together for an album was a great idea in the first place. Now I’m not saying this is the best R&B/hip-hop album ever, but it shows how big it can get with these two, shit you have to experiment in life and start somewhere. All in all “Face Off” was a good match, something you can kick back and relax to.

Back when bow wow first came out, i took him as a joke (hell most people did, but he consistently dropped hit song for his age bracket so i respected his craft as a young artist, then he went south so much with his accent that you'd think he was a southern artist even tho he's from ohio (bone thugz & harmony's home) but i think it's time hip hop show the boy some respect. I hate that he curses now because it's like watching your baby brother grow up and start cursing, but he's 20 now and goes through the same things other 20 year old dudes go through, if not more because of his stardom and money. But i for one will let bow live, he isn't rappin' about how he busts his gun or sell kilos of coke or disrespecting these Bia'ch ass hoes out here like the other rappers and i like how he uses lil' wayne's style the right way, weezy could learn from bow wow, lol.

Not a hater,but bow wow is whack as F*ck since day one.he was put on as a young'n,and now he got tattoo's,a bran new southern accent,plus my main problem with him is the fact that he follows the trend or style that be going on.like he used to be a lil dude spitting with corn rows and throwback jerseys and looking like a west coast n*gga,now that the south is poppin',he rockin grills and speakin the accent..he makin money and all respect to em' but he still will never be considered closed to good in my book.

Bow wow is the biggest swagger jacker of all time.he used to try and flow and look like snoop dogg as a kid,now he trying to look like t.i. And rap like lil wayne.i don't even wanna know who's style and everything he bites next,real talk.
Posted by TheRealKingofNewYork
These two boys are lame, but still it's a good album. I won't buy it but from what i heard it's cool. This site needs to review more r&b albums

Dont hate on people for doing creative things that most of the people on this site wish they were doing. What you may thing of these two young "black men" has nothing to do with the musical content that they presented on this album which is dope for the audience they are targeting. I just wish one day everyone will get off that hating sh*t.
Posted by RighteousEar
^^^^^since when did having an opinion become hating?? even if someone said they respect them dudes but dont like them its still is called hatin. Hate is when u actually kno the person! dont nobody hate them fools.
Posted by getoffmyjock
You guys are morons, we are not hating you idiots, but this album sucks, quinton hatfield is an idiot for this F*ck*n write-up. Q is a moron, an instigator just like a girl!

Posted by npcanon
I dunno where all this passion is coming from lol maybe i should get some from you guys! lol ne way, i listened to the album and i like it. None of the songs gripped me in the gut, like "let me hold you" does, but i can listen to the album str8 thru without skipping a track. I think that says something. I liked 'listen'. I'm not big on o, but i like bow wow. Whether or not he is fake i dunno even tho i would like him to be real. At the end of the day they are making money, the good thing for them is that they doing wat they like to do. Why would i be annoyed if some1 went to work and had to kiss ass to a jerk of a boss to get a promotion? to get ahead you have to be smart. You can't pigeonhole yourself. I think all you ppl are morons, which doesn't say much since i'm a moron too lol if you dont like the album thas ok. Ur opinion. But at the end of the day bow and o are just making money doing wat they do and i really hope that they make it even bigger than they have already bc they reach ppl w/ their music even if those ppl aren't u fools. There's a chick out there who wants to be daring and drop in on their 'bachelor pad'. Think about that, and don't be so mentally constipated. Lol.there's nothing but love here! lol peace out

Q is a great writer and i think the album got a fair review. I think that others are judging bow wow and omarion from their previous albums. They are now adults. Compared to all these so called hip hop albums and the big "dance epidemic type music" this album was great!

Posted by latisha drane
I came here just to say F*ck these Bia'ch ass n*ggaz. Especially that lil n*gga bow wow, he was cooler when he was young.
Posted by HELLZWINTA202
Both these punk Bia'ches are overhyped clowns! they are not hip hop! both of them have no hits!come on get real! just because they release a song as a single dont make it a hit! both of them have released alot of singles, but as far as coming with an anthem thats memorable they fall short! my opinion is that both of them aint sh*t on their own! just like b2k aint sh*t without omarion! i'm sick of recording artists that claim 2 b hip hop and they release songs about the same crap about how some shorty is looking fine or i dont know! str8 up you aint gonna hear me bumping this stupid F*ck*ng face off album!

Why would you take the time to listen to this grabege
Posted by blackstar2005
The cd is hot..they r hott..why hate???
Posted by Ms.CC08
Nobody in here is hating.the only thing that bowwow seems to rap about is the girls.if he would spit something that the fellas would like to hear then maybe he will get props.i do however give him respect because hes a young and making money,and most of all, hes doing what he likes to do.not all of us who have a job can say that.

Bow wow will never grasp a male audience. This dude is going to be 30, still makin records for 12 years olds. Chris brown has taken all of omarions fans. Bow wow is a joke, tryna be t.i. And sh#t. Hurricane chris and soulja boy get bumped more than him.
Posted by Jot3
Damn this cd is strait garbage. 1st off any n*gga that listens to this sh*t is a b*tch. 2nd bow wow is a p*ssy a*s n*gga. If i catch a n*gga bumpin this sh*t in his whip i slap the sh*t out that fool. Dis album is for them dumb a*ss hoes, for which i can't stand. Also f*ck hurricane chris and soulja boy they can eat a d*ck. Wu-tang forever mother f*ckers
