Random Banger: Wooh Da Kid “1 Gun, 2 Gun”

In Brick Squad on March 3, 2013 at 4:06 pm

If he is to be believed , yes this man will shoot you.

Given his penchant for being on the forefront of all that is currently wrong with Black America and his track record of groundbreaking ignorance and occasional coonery, Gucci Mane doesn’t get proper for his musical contributions.

Songs alone do don’t not account for said contributions. No matter how scant their time in the limelight,or detrimental effect on the youth., Gucci Mane has brought artist under his wing into national prominence, along with helping cement the legacies of great  producers (Zaytoven, Shawty Redd) who somehow never became ubiquitous in production conversations.

While, sidetracked by the passing of Slim Dunkin, Gucci continues to try to put on members of his “Brick Squad Maffia”, with Wooh Da Kid getting the latest push.

I’ve always been a fan of “Posse Cuts”.  Classic  NWA influenced works DOC’s “The Grand Finale”  Above The Law’s “The Last Song” and Rap-A-Lot epic “Bring It On” still are mainstays in my rotation

“1 Gun, 2 Gun” is Wooh Da Kid’s attempt to create such a staple.

When not trying to convince  females to relieve themselves of their clothing by telling them he’s Waka’s brother. Wooh Da Kid journeys to the studio to try to make banngers.

While his dope track batting average could stand some improvement “1 Gun, 2 Gun” is a good start towards Wooh putting out higher quality music.

As the title suggests, 1 Gun is another ode to Black on Black violence via the usage of firearms. While nowhere near positive, nor a display of lyrical brilliance,1 Gun astutely supplies one key element to a good song, a ridiculous beat

Fuse 808 Mafia track in tow, Wooh and his cohorts proceed to explain, with varying degrees of ability, why its best not to fuck with them.

Reenacting any of the lyrics in this song (Sans riding around with a half Jamaican and Korean chick) is NOT the move, but banging this while riding around in your whip or headphones while working out isn’t a bad idea at all.

Flex Rant #94963747297

In Hip Hop on March 3, 2013 at 12:33 pm

There will be inevitable events in the future that will bring upon days I wish not to see.

The day Hubie Brown no longer raises my basketball IQ to cum lauden levels during his telecasts

When Roger Sterling eventually takes an L to a heart attack.

And

The day Funkmaster Flex no longer delivers epic rants over the airways of Hot 97.

For all of his accolades and legendary status as a DJ, one of Flex’s finest traits is his personality,which he utilizes to crush his detractors in the most humorous ways possible.

Last year, Flex treated us all to a audio rampage against Charlemagne the God during the NBA Playoffs. This year, the man who has dropped more bombs than all of the worlds armed forces combined, couldn’t make it out of February before utilizing his bully pulpit on another victim.

Faizon Love bka (literally) as Big Worm, visited the Cipha & Rosenberg show to promote some comedy shows and explain his issues with Funk Flex, that stemmed from R.Kelly not abiding the the some rules the porn industy does when it comes to teenagers.

What followed was ten minutes of Ciph and Rosenberg trying to  objectively debate a man with the logic of an olympic swimmer who attaches bricks to his ankles    If there was a award given yearly for “Most Stereotypically Loud and Excessively Ignorant Black man”, Love would’ve easily clinched it with this interview, with 10 months left to go in 2013

As expected, it didn’t take Flex long to respond, and as is customary with his  replies, the jokes flowed.

Afters starting off slowly, Flex goes in on Love’s lack of acknowledgement of his Jersey roots

“In between the fries, the burgers and the hot dogs and the Chinese food and the rib rack (etc) you can’t find one second to menton your town Newark New Jersey”

His absurd defense of R.Kelly and O.J

“You’re defending R. Kelly and O.J Simpson, YOU IDIOT! ”

Along with other frailties of Mr.Love’s person

If you’re into laughing, I highly suggest  listening.

“Don’t eat the bomb” lol
