3OH!3 — Want

3OH!3 are named for the area code of their hometown of Boulder, Colo. They're a pair of white, weekend gangstas who make club bangers for the Warped Tour set.
Want, their trainwreck second record, mixes hip-hop beats and heavy electro keyboards with raps about strippers and bar conquests. Lines like "Shush girl, shush your lips/Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips" or "Never trust a ho" (which are both from first single "Don't Trust Me") should give you a sense of where these guys' lyrical ambitions lie.
The duo's schtick is reminiscent of Beastie Boys' frat-rap days. But behind the Beasties' hooligan image were some fantastic songs. Unfortunately, Want is 40 minutes of hollow posturing, without a single memorable track in the lot. It's mindless entertainment that can't even entertain.
