Notice that we only said that what we thought about the song...we didn't criticise you personally.
I think that the song is a formulaic, stale, boring production that has no redeeming features. The vocals are poor, the song lacks originality and substance, and it is not exactly groundbreaking in musical terms. I have to agree with Furor Aquila - the guy sounds like he got kicked in the nuts.
Now don't get me wrong....i'm not a "nigga hater" although i do despise the increasingly prevalent culture of violent, mysogynistic, greedy and homophobic attitudes expressed through music these days (hip hop and rnb). I think it is disgusting that so many artists are producing shallow songs about money, "bling bling", "bitches", guns, violence and so forth. This definitely does not set a good example or provide a good message to the millions of young, impressionable people who listen to the music. I also don't like many RNB tunes made by the likes of Beyonce, Nelly and Usher feat, Lil John, because:
(1) I just don't like the sound of it
(2) I think it is unoriginal, soulless and chart-orientated
I for one choose not to listen to that type of music regularly, as it doesn't appeal to me musically or morally.
I didn't grow up in America, we don't have "ghettos" in Australia, most people don't aspire to become "gangstas" with bling bling, money, flash cars etc etc. Frankly, i find it difficult to relate to most rap music, as its subject matter is foreign to me.
I do like some hip hop/rap and rnb, although it usually stuff that isn't in the charts. For example, i am sick to death of the new D12 song "My band", but when my rap-loving friend played me their album with the harder, dirtier tracks that aren't "made for MTV", i really liked it. I like originality, and i appreciate good rapping and lyrical content.
I admit that i liked Eamon - F**k it because it was quirky and different, not to mention funny. Outkast - The Way You Move sounds fresh and the lyrics are great, and it is well produced as well. I also love some new Australian hip hop like Hilltop Hoods (although i doubt anyone else has heard them, apart from the Aussies here). The Roots and Jurassic 5 are also good, because there focus is on the music and lyrics, not churning out another pop hit to make another million and appease the MTV masses.
I hope i have made my point.....
