Ok I've been listening to this non-stop since I downloaded it.

I can't believe how good it is :o

It's up there as one of my favorite album of 2008 so far along with Madonna's 'Hard Candy' and Danity Kane's 'Welcome To The Dollhouse'.

Heres how I rank the tracks from best to worst:

1. Swim [should be a single at some point]
2. Make It Hot (Put It Down)
3. Shawty Get Loose
4. What It Takes (Strike A Pose)
5. L.I.F.E.
6. Lip Gloss [still hot & addictive after one year]
7. One Hit Wonder
8. Stand Up
9. Truly In Love
10. College
11. G-Slide (Tour Bus)
12. Pick It Up
13. Broken Pieces

Oh and I don't know if this was posted already but heres the Rolling Stone review of the album:

With last summer's lovable nonsense thumper "Lip Gloss," Brooklyn's Lil Mama emerged as a kind of mall-rat Missy Elliott: Her firm command of beauty product — "I spice it up with the M.A.C-M.A.C brushes/L'Oréal got them Watermelon Crushes" — could warm any advertising copywriter's heart. But on her much-delayed debut, Lil Mama is out to prove she's not just a commercial vessel. Naturally, there are efforts to reapply the "Gloss": The rat-a-tat "Shawty Get Loose," co-starring fellow phenom Chris Brown and produced by T-Pain, will have Mama's acolytes bouncing around Hot Topic. And "One Hit Wonder" is a sharply self-aware dig at pop's shelf life. But the standout is "L.I.F.E.," a raw recollection of an addled childhood ("I ain't got no pictures of my mother/She was a crack fiend/Nothing like crack mother") that proves there's more to her than bubble gum. Let's hope she's got a few more years to give us the rest.

*** out of 5 stars.

Billboard Review -

Fans of Lil Mama's infectious "Lip Gloss" have been waiting nearly a year for the release of her debut album, wondering perhaps if the CD would emphasize this young MC's desire to join the ranks of New York's rap elite or to turn Miley Cyrus devotees into hip-hop heads. "VYP: Voice of the Young People" suggests that those two goals needn't be mutually exclusive. Presiding over tracks produced by A-listers including Dr. Luke, T-Pain, Cool & Dre and Scott Storch, Lil Mama shows off some impressive verbal firepower here, like when she challenges her skeptics over a booming trash-can beat in "One Hit Wonder." Yet she never goes long before reminding us of the value of a killer chorus, either; in "Broken Pieces" she even pulls off an unlikely emo-blues ballad.—Mikael Wood

I'm loving "Swim" right now.

[Live Your Life]

This album is actually really good, for her anyway. They should be promoting it more.

[Live Your Life]

She's performing "Shawty Get Loose" with T-Pain on TRL today.

[WouldYouJumpTheGDTrainAlready?]

unlike most current rap albums, i think this one won't have as big of a debut, but it'll have some sort of longevity. I think it'll go platinum for shipments.

[George]

I was disappointed with this album. I like the singles (except the next T-Pain one) and "Swim".

What's on the Deluxe Edition, a DVD?

[MyLastView]

I just bought this. :)

[SO.UNCOOL™]

^So did I ... such a great album. It opened at #25 with 19k sold.

[SHOOTER]

I can't believe how quickly "Shawty Get Loose" peaked and fell on the Hot 100! It was #10 and now it's #70 in less than a month! Jeez!

[Coin-Operated [Boy]]

It had no radio airplay support, she needs that. I want this girl to do well.

[WouldYouJumpTheGDTrainAlready?]

the video for "L.I.F.E." should help sales out a bit.
especially with the BET crowd.

According to Billboard's chart archive (based on BDS), it didn't make the Top 40 on Rhythmic.
