DJ Brookllen's DJ BOOTH PROFILE

“I heard this a while back on TV in the game trailer. I was slightly confused at first. I mean putting B.o.B. on a track about NY is makes no sense. Then I heard the full version and I realized why the choose B.o.B. He as the perfect person to rap over this track. Yeah they could have gotten another NY rapper but unless it was Jay, it wouldn't have been the same. B.o.B. brings class to the track while still making it sick. My only complaint is that its not long enough!”

“Solid track. Definitely something different but isn't so different that it would hurt it. Has potential to be a hit but I am not sure how people will accept a song with this title...then again Cee-Lo has already destroyed part of that problem.”

“I can see where a lot of people do not find this song appealing but to me it has more global appeal than here in the states. People in Europe will see that Chris Brown hooked up with Benny Benassi and go nuts. Benassi is basically a god to the club scene over there so I am sure this will sell huge over seas. Over here though I don't see this doing so well. The Euro-pop influx is getting bigger but I don't think Chris Brown is going to be the one (with this song at least) to cash in on it right now. Maybe if this song was backed by Taio Cruz or someone like that it would make more sense.”

“This is without a doubt the best chance T.I. has at a hit off of No Mercy. It has loads of pop appeal yet it doesn't turn its back on the rap community either. T.I. handles all of his verses well and Christina does exactly what she was suppose to on the hook. When I saw the track listing for the album I could just tell this was going to be his shot at a big single (just like looking at the Recovery track listing). Hopefully this will help TIP get back into the spotlight a bit. Best part of this is apparently this song was originally for Diddy but he gave it to TIP for some reason.”

“This was a very smart move for Tip to help him build some street hype for his next album and also proves he hasn't lost an inch. As stated before The Return of the King would have been a great title but it also seems a bit to cliche in some ways. I actually remember seeing a video of Tip and Young Dro talking and Dro suggested that as the title but T.I. kind of played it off like it was too expected. But honestly I can't think of a better name so I won't bother trying. No matter what the name is though I am damn sure looking forward to August.”

“Another great idea for the Booth, keep it up everyone, and big props to Critical Hype.”
