Chris Webby - Bulletproof
Artist: Chris Webby
Featuring: Joell Ortiz
Producer: Evo
Album: Untitled New Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
Are La Roux on their way to becoming hip-hop’s latest indie obsession? While I hadn’t heard of the English electro-pop duo till their hit single, In for the Kill, was flipped in a joint by The Illz, it’s looking like that could be the case; in addition to accompanying Nicki Minaj on a recent, non-Booth-featured mashup by Colin Munroe, the group serve as inspiration for Bulletproof, the latest offering from Connecticut up-and-comer Chris Webby. This cut, leak numero uno off the freestyle series alum‘s forthcoming mixtape, finds beatsmith Evo slicing and dicing elements from both Kill and La Roux’s follow-up single, also tittled Bulletproof, into a hard-hitting backdrop for the Kevlar flows of Webby and a heavyweight collaborator. In between the headliner’s aggressively braggadocious verses (“I’m deadly as ever when I’m severin’ the heads of any competitors…”), Slaughterhouse member/solo flame-spitter Joell Ortiz jumps on board to serve up a little lyrical ultraviolence of his own (with a side of… Destiny’s Child karaoke?). Digging this indie-infused banger? Then keep it locked for the latest details on Webby’s yet-untitled street album, due out sometime this fall.

Its almost like the musical man above is playing a great big joke on me (and Nathan S., too). Last year, I was forced to sit in on a taping of a show in which La Roux performed - they were awful. Now, less than 2 years later, they are popping up around these parts at a very frequent rate and becoming the go-to-sample for hip hop producers. Not good.
My rating of this record is based strictly on what Chris and Joell offer to the track - I won't blame them for my dislike of La Roux haha. |

Man, everyone and their mom wants to use La Roux samples these days, and while the sample's worked in other places, I don't think the beat matches the flows here. It's got too much of a light, bouncing feel for Webby and Ortiz's aggressive flows.
The verses are on point, the beat's on point, they just don't belong together. |

This song was okay. But! What killed this song for me was the background singers. "bulletproof" over and over and over again! Plus its just a un decent copy of the original La Roux's background singers. Thats why i really don't like it. But on the other hand, it was pretty good.
