Ummm, to put it quite simply, NO. What on God's green Earth is this nonsense? Ok, ok. You've had a hot few months with "Kiss Me Thru The Phone" and "Turn My Swag On (remix)" but this is just inexcusable. Yes, it's that offensive, lol. I'm tired of people that can't hold a tune if it had a handle, "crooning" through a hook. Is the recession THAT bad that we can't get someone with talent to "sing" on a hook? I'm also left to think how many clubs an 18 year-old can get into to "go hard" in anyway? But, yeah, this isn't any "Turn My Swag On" and I don't know how many rappers will be in line to jump on a remix for this. Womp.
Verdict: D
Get 'ya self up and try again, Soulja. You've got plenty of time.
Next Up: Lil Wayne ft. Kevin Rudolf-"Spit"
http://www.therundown.tv/new-music/lil-wayne-feat-kevin-rudolf-spit/
Yes, yes. The dynamic duo as of late. Well, they're at it again and this time Wayne has made a few changes to his flow. Because his "singing" was not recieved all too well (ie) Prom Queen, Hot Revolver), he's adapted a more hip-hop friendly flow, while still rockin' the rocker beat. The result? Not bad. I can appreciate the direction that he's headed in and the dream to become larger than life by conquering multiple genres. I can't help but feel however, that at least as of now, Wayne is still best flowin' over a bangin' hip-hop beat a la "Lollipop" and "A Milli." If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? But, change is good sometimes and this change is O.K.
Verdict: B
This One is Interesting: Chris Brown-"Apology" http://www.therundown.tv/new-music/chris-brown-apology/
Ok, so this one isn't new (as April 15th is about 1 month ago), but it's new to me. Anyone else find the title and the timing of track LOL worthy?
As much as I want to diss this, I can't. It's definitely a solid cut and a lot less corny than I thought it would be. And hey, Rihanna bought his apology, so why shouldn't we? But yea, from the laid back beat to the remorseful vocals, this smoov R&B cut is definitely a keeper. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't consider it a contender for first single, but in light of recent events, I can't think of anything more appropriate.
Verdict: A-
JUST IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (A_Status Exclusive)!!!!!: Tre- "Beat Box"
Ok, ok. This one is special. It comes to ya'll from my homie Tre! A good friend of mine.

Without the need to be partial, I have to admit the song goes hard!!! From the human beat box to the raw lyrics, it's clear that Tre is serious and dedicated to the craft of lyricism. I'm sure that in a short amount of time he'll be riding the wave of hip-hop's newcomers (Drake, Lupe Fiasco) and help bring TRUE hip-hop back.
Verdict: A-
Is this Tre jawn available to download?
ReplyDeleteSpit is not that good. It seems like Weezy's tryin to hard to find his "inner Rock." When considering these two for a hit, it should always be Kevin Rudolph featuring Lil Wayne (Let it Rock), not the other way around. Surprisingly, I like Prom Queen way better than this. The only reason it may do well on Pop radio IS because of Kevin Rudolph, because without him this song would flop big time.
