Flo Rida - Low (ft. T-Pain) (listen)

I’ll never forget the time the homie Will said that “Laffy Taffy” would be a hit. I thought it was the worst record since Eddie Murphy’s “Party of the Time.” Three months later, I was in the club leaning and rocking to “Laffy Taffy” with a Long Island Ice Tea in my hand. Well, the homie Will has done it again. He informed thehonorable of a song called “Low” by a cat called Flo Rida (pronounced Flow Rider, but he is from Florida…so, Flo Rida…ah man, this hip-hop artists are clever! <—cynicism).

I had a feeling that “Low” could be a BET 106 and Park hit because it has T-Pain on it, but who would’ve thought that it’s the #4 song in the nation and the most downloaded single on iTunes for the past month. What’s next? A collab with Soulja Boy and a Grammy nomination? (Sidebar: Wasn’t it Dave Chappelle that said people sing and play songs they have no clue what the meaning is. Chappelle’s example: Skeet Skeet! (c) Lil Jon / 2007 example: Superman dat hoe (c) Soulja Boy)

I think this song is hot garbage, it sounds like a Nelly demo record. The beat is nothing special. Not once did I nod my head or get the urge to dance. And the lyrics? Here goes a sample: “Shorty was hot like a toaster/Sorry but I had to fold her/Like a pornography poster/She showed her.” The only time I could enjoy this song is after multiple Long Island Ice Teas at a strip club with 100 $1 bills in my hand (of course, thehonorable is cheap and would leave the strip club with 90 $1 bills in his pocket).

The-Dream - Bed (demo version) (listen)

Here goes the controversial demo version of J. Holiday’s “Bed.” Controversial between the The-Dream selling the song to Chris Brown and J. Holiday. The-Dream’s version isn’t bad at all and it’s demo version is enough to convince any R&B singer that it’s a hit. But the bridge is HORRIBLE and exposes The-Dream’s vocal ability, but we won’t hold that against him being that it is a DEMO and not the real thing. Still an interesting listen.
