Two Cents: Cocky & Arrogant (Remix)


A while ago, a Detroit rapper by the name of Off-Rip dropped a pretty dope song—"Cocky & Arrogant"—featuring Royce Da 5'9, Joe Budden and Franchize.

Today, the remix dropped also known as My Super Sweet 16.

Why?

There are 16 lyrically talented MCs on this one track:


 

While all of these gentlemen possess skills that can put many other rappers to shame and individually their verses are full of  bars and punchlines,  I'm not feeling the "Sweet 16" concept.

There's a saying, too many cooks in the kitchen can spoil the broth and that's how I feel about this song.

It's kind of hard to pay attention to everyone and naturally, some verses go ignored—not by choice.

When tackling this song I suggest listening to it in spurts of four, that is, pause every four rappers.

I got a lot of love for quite a few of the rappers on this track, but it's not something I can just sit back and listen to.

Buffies & Benihanas - Dusty McFly


I just love the title of this, it's so Detroit, though Buffies & Belle Isle would have been way more Detroit (someone tweeted this but I don't remember who). Dusty McFly, name probably sounds super familiar because he was featured on "Iraq" on the UKNOWBIGSEAN mixtape last year. Moving on, Dusty has been kind of silent on the music scene and now I know why. Buffies & Benihanas is his latest project and to build up anticipation, Mr. McFly has released a trailer for it shot by Mr. Dante Marshall. Dope stuff and I can say my interest is piqued.
