You gotta admit, yall ain't see this muthafucka comin' with the lil' pop smash "Low". Then he comes back 'round with "Elevators". You may think homie's all pop, but I'm here to tell ya, I've been on this cat for a minute, every since he was Mr. Birthday Man, peep the Khaled hosted mixtape... Ahem! Anyway, this new cat is different from alot of the new pack. Crazy voice, catchy delivery, and a hell of a flow.. Guess why the name Flo Rida fits him. Not to mention his play on the name of his homestate is clever. Anyway..
Since this is a blogg, I can mention whatever the fuck I feel right? Well, this kid is signed to Atlantic Records. They haven't had much poppin' from their rap artists as of late, so do you think we're gonna hear alotta concept come from their new popular guy? Uh.. Hell naw. So I'ma tell ya now, this CD ain't for the backpackers, lol. But if you wanna stunt infront of the club cuz you wanna bump somethin with alotta bass n a nice sound.. You might wanna put this CD in.
Concept.. Well, it ain't much on this CD. But Flo Rida finds a way to squeeze in a concept. In the song "Still Missin' ." He talks about his missin' ho... And it's gonna be some dumb people thinkin' he's actually talkin' 'bout a garden hoe since he says "the rakes still in the shed, but my ho's still missin'." Once again, clever, it ain't jus outta-this-world complexx, but it was clever, I'll give it to 'em. He also has another song talkin' 'bout his girl on "Me & U." The hook sounds like one of them ol' R&B songs in the mid-90s (think Keith Sweat, lol.) But it's nice though. And in "All My Life," it's pretty self explanitory, he's basically talkin' 'bout his up-bringin'. Nothin' to special. And my personal favorite track, "Ms. HangOver," he uses alcohol bottles to describe a woman, but is really talkin' 'bout the shots he's taken. And throughout the song, he potrays liquor as a woman, CLEVER!!! It'll go over people's heads, and some people will think he's jus talkin' 'bout a women of course, so I guess Atlantic thought it was safe enough to put on the CD. Sounds like a club banger, but it's more to it of course, lol. Gotta love hip-hop sometimes.
Now, Flo Rida can rap his ass off, but since I've been listenin' to 'em, he's suffered from that dope-boy trend, cuz he claims to have done the shit too. So I wasn't surprised to hear some songs like this on here. But Flo Rida has a new problem since he's gotten on Atlantic.... THIS NIGGA WON'T GET OUT THE CLUB! SOMEBODY GET THEM FLORIDA BOYS OUT THE CLUB! Since he's VIP with T-Pain, he's pretty much invited himself back to the club every night the doors open on most of these songs on this album. I mean, I can't lie, some of tha songs are hittin', some of 'em ain't hittin' on shit. But hey what do I know, I ain't think to much of "Low," but you see how well it's doin'. He even slows it down for the club with Trey Songs on "Freaky Deaky."
Now Flo Rida has no flaws in his flow, so we're gonna skip that criticism. Other than the subject matter in the songs, he's not really talkin' 'bout nuthin'.. I mean, it sounds coo', but he ain't talkin' 'bout nuthin'. (Kinda like Lil' Wayne.) And Flo Rida, you're a brand new artist. Why why why do you have 10 features and you only have 14 songs! It's your debut, people are suppose to hear YOU!! Not see who you got on ya album mayne! C'mon! You can rap! Stop bein' a Young Joc! Cuz nobody's outshinin' him on the featured songs, nobody. And the hooks ain't hittin' on much on these songs either.
Well, to sum it all up, like I say, the kid can rap. He jus ain't talkin' 'bout nuthin', n he has way to many features. All the songs are gonna have people lookin' at 'em more of a bubble-gum rapper, when he's not. But that's what happens sometimes when you stay in the club to much. I hope other-wise, cuz he's talented. "Ms. Hangover" shows that, coo' concept, no guest spot, why couldn't the majority of the album be like this?! Hope he does better next-go-round
