Last year, Slim Thug’s Boss Hogg Outlawz released their group debut, Serve & Collect. While the album was served to the public, consumers were slow to collect the project. And though it received favorable reviews, it was widely deemed a failure. Despite the ups and downs, however, the group is back with a new project on the horizon. Following the Outlawz’ new street single Ride With No Ceiling, which garnered a lukewarm response inside the Booth, the ensemble offers up the ladies’ jam, Keep It Playa. Featuring the crafty production of H-Town’s Mr. Lee and the hook work of Koch labelmate Ray J, Keep It Playa can be best summed up as a clear-cut effort to gain radio play. Following this reused and recycled formula that has made many a one-hit-wonder; will the Outlawz experience the same fate? Slim’s crew will drop Serve & Collect 2 later this summer.
I liked the "Mr. Lee" production. I clicked on this expecting this to be super trash, judging my who was on it. I failed to see Ray-J's name though. I'm not really a Slim Thug or BHO fan, but this smooth R&B oriented track is decent. Ray-J definitely does his thing. I'll toss it in rotation.
DJ Z, it will probably have the same fate as the previous album. They need to drop something more stronger than this. Ray-J is a great feature but he doesn't elevate this track to new heights.
I just think this is ok. A little slow and tiny for my tastes. 2.5 stars. But you obvusly need a song talking to the women out there because every song on the radio is that. Thats all that gets played.
i like the violins in the background it gives the song a great feel. boss hogg outlawz are SICK. ray j does a great job on the chorus. this song is friggin HOTTTTT AS HELL
Ray J is slowly, slowly, becoming a hooker (er, I mean like Akon & T-Pain, on every hook, though when you think about it, it really might be the same :P). This track has some potential, but it's average as it is like this.
Song could have done without the answering machine part, even though it did allow the beat to build. It could NOT have done without that sick beat from Mr. Lee, and the tight delivery and wordplay from Slim Thugga. Rest of the BHO, is a bit iffy. But the addition of Ray J's "more is less" form of hook is a nice feature. 3.5.
Boss Hogg Outlawz...Slim Thugga did his thang on this track..& Killa Kyleon killed like always....Serve & Collect 2 will be another Texas Street Classic...Cause "Ride With No Ceiling" is already bangin....And I dont bout dude up there saying "SERVE & COLLECT" was widely deemed a failure... SHIT that "SERVE & COLLECT still doing what it is supposed to be doing Serveing & collecting from cd shops..its summer 2008 and shelve life short for that CD ...U Feel Me..........1$$
