I love Hip Hop. The Energy of the music and a good beat that makes you lean your shoulders. It just gets me amped. That being said, the current state of popular Hip Hop is on par with the mental degradation of a meth Addict. Currently ‘Soulja Boy’ is on the top 100 list and given the steel drums in the background mixed with the bass hits makes a foundation for a decent song. But overused sounds clips of ‘Oohh!’ and the absolute worst lyrics I have ever heard in my entire life destroy any producer’s work on the sound. With lyrics like:
“Supersoak that Oohh
Supersoak that Oohh
All too fresh off in this bitch
Watch me shuffle watch me jig
Watch me crank that Soulja Boy
Then Superman that bitch”
Or the absolutely repetitive chorus of:
“Soulja Boy Up In This Oohh
Watch Me Crank It
Watch Me Roll
Watch Me Crank that Soulja Boy
Then Superman that Oohh
now watch me You…
Crank that Soulja Boy
now watch me You…
Crank that Soulja Boy”
Come on fella’s. Lets be a little more imaginative here. If your trying to be all bad ass, you’ve failed. You sound like you got shot in the head, although since you are a ‘Soldier Boy,’ it probably wouldn’t be too hard to imagine you’ve got a little brain damage. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Your producer did some good things with the base of your ‘Hit Song;’ Lets work on the lyrics. Keep the voice and the southern drawl, drop the superman and the supersoaking and write something that people can handle for longer than 20 seconds.
