First it was “Not My Downside,” a catchy jerk-R&B one-off by ultra-viral teenager (and daughter of Mos Def) Laila!, who turns the title right into a mantra. “Niggas talkin’ shit/Bitches talkin’ shit/It’s not my drawback,” she sings, heat however cheeky, drawing from the teenager prodigies of the ’90s like Brandy and Aaliyah. Nice tune. Then the monitor was remixed right into a snippet by New York man of the second Money Cobain, weaving her vocals right into a predictably horndog “attractive drill” anthem. Every bar follows a fundamental components: Flirty line, adopted by a diced-up pattern of Laila! singing “Not My Downside.” It’s hilarious. Even higher tune. Now, after weeks of manner too many rappers and crooners importing their very own variations of Money’s rearrangement, the official model is right here, additionally with manner too many rappers and crooners. To be precise, 14 others over the course of just about eight minutes. That is perhaps an issue.
I perceive what Money goes for by channeling megamixes of the previous like Busta Rhymes’ “Contact It” collection or the unintended explosion of The Sport’s “One Blood,” and even DJ Kay Slay’s “Rollin 25 Deep.” He’s trying to cap off his summer time soundtracking the metropolis (a number of weeks in the past, I used to be listening to Energy 105.1 and so they did a 25-minute mixture of strictly Money-produced songs) with a #second. However the novelty of the remix wears off earlier than you even end the tune. The components grows stale quick and not one of the new verses are as breezy and enjoyable as Money’s opener. Truly, I’m undecided I ever wanted to listen to half of those rappers on one among Money’s midnight membership beats. (Additionally no Nav, who has been unofficially adopted into the scene, is a sin.) This requires a rating:
It’s like watching Ice Dice’s Big3 basketball league (the unofficial NBA retirement circuit).
He’s simply fortunate Fab is right here to take the warmth off him.
I respect Money making an attempt to maintain issues native, however somebody must take the melatonin away from Don.
12. Rob49
Who the hell desires to listen to Rob49 at half-speed? A very good Rob49 verse feels like he’ll want a Liquid I.V. as soon as he’s completed.
Youngsters must be banned from the Money Cobain universe (Laila! doesn’t rely, it’s a pattern).
She spends an excessive amount of time doing karaoke of Laila!’s unique.
9. Kaliii
Forgot she was even there.
An excessive amount of of a loverboy for this world, reserve it for a Mariah the Scientist album.
7. Chow Lee
Too PG-13 coming from the opposite half of the 2 Slizzy 2 Horny duo. He sounds finest when him and Money are in a freak-off.
Value it for the little excessive notice she hits when she coos “I would do a threesome with two ladies as a result of niggas (an issue).”
She doesn’t actually include any bars however her smokey voice provides the tune a much-needed shake-up. (Aspect notice: The place’s the Karrahbooo verse? She was the one rapper who had the center to disregard the components.)
A lot perspective packed into lower than 30 seconds.
Money Cobain nominates himself “horniest rapper alive” in his verse, however that title may truly belong to Queens’ Flee, who’s right here begging for interval intercourse and whisper-singing about his sluttiness.
Everybody else is taking this fashion too significantly. Fortunately YN Jay’s spurt of screwball sound results and ad-libs (a nasty ass slurping noise; compulsory chants of “Hol’ on” and “It’s the Coochie Man”) will get the spirit proper.
1. Money Cobain
There’s no level in having 14 different rappers pull up when no one sounds pretty much as good on a Money Cobain beat as Money Cobain.
