Posted by placee_22, Fri Mar-27-15 12:34 PM
I never really heard a song by dude before a few mins ago when he came up on a spotify playlist and I was pleasantly surprised.

I kinda like this joint:

What's the general consensus on him?
12765021, great before shady

Posted by ScooterBug, Fri Mar-27-15 12:41 PM
BLACKFACE AND RACISM TOO!
12765043, nope... I get a Kid Rock kind of vibe from him
Posted by Amritsar, Fri Mar-27-15 12:48 PM
like 10-15 years from now he'll reinvent himself as a country or rock singer when he's finished with this 'urban' phase
12765049, i was a BIG fan until he got with Shady.

his album was TRASHOLA on Shady and that pretty much ruined him.

since then, he's went in a more country/rock direction and i'm just not feeling it.

when he was doing this type of stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVcCDRzjtWg

or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ1feQHiHfs

or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGu_gjMzOW8

or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PF9he-_-7E

i mean, this is the shit that had people HYPE off him. then he tried to go too pop on Shady and now he's too country for most.
12765050, i loved him my box chevy era
Posted by tomjohn29, Fri Mar-27-15 12:50 PM
honey brown which he released last year was pretty close to that
12765369, Box Chevy 3 is probably my favorite song of his.

12765069, "Pop The Trunk" & the "Lemonade" freestyle is alls ive ever heard from--
Posted by Somnus, Fri Mar-27-15 12:58 PM
him. He went the fuck off on the latter, the former is my shit tho.
12765089, i think he was mishandled
Posted by double negative, Fri Mar-27-15 01:06 PM
he went from pop to trunk which was super good

but then his misttep was daddys lambo
12765107, daddys lambo fit on trunk muzik...his mistep was radioactive
Posted by tomjohn29, Fri Mar-27-15 01:16 PM
12765112, ^^^
Posted by Ashy Achilles, Fri Mar-27-15 01:18 PM
12765114, Daddy's Lambo was dope.
Posted by PROMO, Fri Mar-27-15 01:19 PM
Beat was insane (still can't believe Drama from Young & Reckless/Rob & Big made that) and his raps/flow were dope/complex for a song w/ that much pop appeal. It was a quality single.

that was still when he was fucking with Ghet-O-Vision before signing with Shady.

Shady fucked him over. I mean, I was huge fan and STRUGGLED to find two good songs on that thing. They tried to make him do Top 40 songs for the chicks - totally not him and never would be. Now his sound is too country/rock for the average rap fan.
12765180, my sentiments exactly

12765357, Firebrand was a big fan
Posted by Billy Ray Valentine, Fri Mar-27-15 03:59 PM
12765337, mixtapes were dope.
Posted by Nodima, Fri Mar-27-15 03:40 PM
couldn't give a shit since he signed to Shady though.

12765547, corny, but that "lick the cat" beat is craaaaaazy.
Posted by guru0509, Sat Mar-28-15 10:04 AM
12765566, i love "til its gone"
Posted by LES, Sat Mar-28-15 11:27 AM
gives me some hope that he might still have some gas in the tank
12765569, That's the song I like. Not looking for more.
Posted by KingMonte, Sat Mar-28-15 11:33 AM
Though Whiskey in a Bottle (if that's the name of it) ain't bad.
He must be a Shady or Interscope artist because Shade45 plays the shit out of those songs.
12765633, I've only heard him guest on tracks, and been impressed
Posted by J305, Sat Mar-28-15 03:09 PM
pretty much every time.

I randomly came across a cypher at the BET awards w/ him, Em, and Slaughterhouse the other day (over the "Tried By 12" beat) -- he definitely holds his own:

cypher overall is dope
12765778, we'll always have the Hard White remix
