Rhymefest has new LP coming out (which is good news), and using Lil Jon might
improve his record sales, as the Blue Collar CD only sold like 40 to 50
grand. I thought people slept on that album. The best part of this
track is matching a real lyricist to Lil Jon, and we see if Lil Jon has the
diversity to drop that kind of beat. Boy does the short ATLien meet that
test, I think this beat is MAD hard!! The percussion is mad hype with synths to
carry the beat. Rhymefest really gets his "Angry Black Man" on, speaking
some real shit talking reminding me of Chuck D and KRS-One. He even
mentions both emcees and shouts out Anna Nicole Smith as a whore America cried
over. I'm feeling the anger on this joint!! The chorus is pretty
catchy, but I have no idea how 14-16 year old girls will react to this.
However it has smart discussion about racial issues with a Lil Jon beat, so it
might have just enough mainstream credibility to reach mainstream media outlets.
And it's fucking sad the discourse needs to be sugarcoated like that.
The next joint is an old favorite, but I finally find a very clean version
without skips, DJ's, and is dirty. You can actually hear how HARD
Ghostface destroys this MF Doom "beat" [that dude just loops, but loops like a
genius!]. The loop is from an old Portuguese joint, and Ghostface
absolutely gorilla slaughters this track. Enjoy the jointage folks!!
