{"product_id":"ghetto-supastar","title":"Ghetto Supastar","description":"Amazon.com\n\nIt's difficult to tell whether Pras's debut, Ghetto Supastar (riding on the infectious 1998 summer jam of the same name), is intended as an 18-track infomercial for the newest rap collective, the Refugee Camp (star campers include Canibus, Most Wanted, and head counselor Wyclef Jean) or an elaborate parody of self-proclaimed rap prodigies. The album opens with a \"Hallelujah\" chorus, closes with \"Amazing Grace,\" and stuffs the middle with weak Dolly Parton interpolations, weaker rhymes (\"Two guns blazing \/ Purple hazing\" on \"For the Love of This\"), and not one, but four separate tracks chock full of shamelessly scripted shout-outs from a horde of bizarre star supporters. (Donald Trump? Mike Tyson? Sting? You haven't heard this many hard-up celebrities since New York City cabs started talking.) There are a lot of reasons this album fails, but the most flagrant is this: for all the effort expended here to raise himself up as the next great Hip-Hop Hope, between the Refugee Camp agenda and the sea of guest vocalists, Pras's presence is nearly invisible. --Todd Levin\n\nProduct description\n\nPras ~ Ghetto Supastar\n\nReview\n\nSupastar yields enough lowbrow kicks to keep hardcore heads bobbing until the next Fugees disc. -- Entertainment Weekly\n\nPras reveals above-average, infectiously direct MC skills, uniting rap styles from across the land....
