With the rise of artists like Lupe Fiasco and The Cool Kids, a new breed of hipster emcee has begun to find its niche in a rap industry previously characterized by hustlers and pimps. Don’t let their pink sweatshirts or Ray-Bans fool you, however; these guys might rap about having a good time, but they mean business. The newest “in kid” to this trendsetting scene is Che Grand, a cap gun-wielding college boy out of Bed-Stuy. The first single off his debut album, Everything’s Good Ugly, is called Girls Talk. Featuring a uniquely dope beat by Aeon that sounds something like watered-down House music, the song tackles the various methods of dealing with groupie love. As an added (though somewhat out of place) bonus he even includes a sample of Missy Elliot’s Work It.
I agree this beat is dope. Che grand is kickin ass on this as well. His tone may be boring to some but it vibes well with the track. This hook is agressive. Sampling B.I.G. is a good move here.
He gets me with how he spits and his flow but he loses me with the chorus and the beat. It takes the song half way before the beat is actually tight. Once it kicks up though its tight.
This @*#$! is dope, Che has been doing his thing for a moment and the landscape is now open to artists that dont just do coke rap and the like. Keep it moving Che!!!
hey dj booth folks. i really appreciate the love here
i'm everywhere online
and i read it all lol!
one thing i'd like to mention is that i'm not a cap gun wielding college boy lmao
unfortunately ive carried real guns before and i never got to go to college im not really a scenester either.
im more about everyday people
i have songs dealing with drug abuse and abortion but i like to go out and have fun too which is how i come up with songs like this.
but thanks again.... charlie e lets do an interview mayne!
(btw i rated this a banger cause i heard it in the club on my bday and it bangs! lol)
The dude added BIG and Tupac lines to the chorus. Incorporated nicely. But his flow is kind of boring to me. Could have been better, but that beat is crazy. Maybe Lupe should have been on there.
I like this. the beat is a bit...busier? than I'm used to, but I like how the song kind of evolves from beginning to end. props for tryin somethin new and making it work
