It’s common for artists to rep their hometowns, but on his current single NYC (off his Stay Hungry mixtape), Clap Cognac seems to pay homage to only the bad side of New York City. “Clap” being an acronym for “Camouflage Lodge Attacking Problems,” Cognac is known for addressing social issues in his rhymes. With a head-banging beat over a soft, angelic voice in the background, Cognac does just that: referencing the thugs, drugs, and crooked cops in New York, but also taking note of the musical talents that have come out of the city. Regardless of the city’s flaws, however, Cognac claims that he will rep NYC until he dies.
Home Of HIP-HOP! Good song. Clap Cognac comes hard on this with a tight flow and pretty nice lyrics. I am not only puttin this in my rotation, but I am bangin it. Production is crazy.
Straight east coast hip hop flow man. I can dig it. Production is solid. Usually, East Coast tracks are laced pretty well, they just don't always excite me.
I have received LOTS of complaints that we do not feature enough East Coast music. I think that is complete bulls*hit, but I am open to whatever makes our members happy. This is some solid EC music. He is being courted by the majors... heavy!
its alright Z you can keep that wack eastcoast music out the booth aint nuthin special comin out there ne ways. but back 2 the track not feelin this one ,but it worx for a mixtape
2/5 ... Z, There's a reason you don't put as much eastcoast shit nowadays ... majority of the people don't wanna hear it ... I enjoy it, but won't listen to it more than a couple of times ... This tracks aite ... nothing great
Z, east coast music has just been whack lately lol. I can only think of Papoose listenin to this, reppin NYC, the beat sounds like somethin standard off a Pap mixtape...
This is just okay. The "drumline" beat is a little irritating. I cannot say it enough, this Hip Hop genre is losing it's originality. P. Diddy already said how grat New York was on Jermaine Dupri's "Welcome to Atlanta" remix. I don't need a new guy to tell me about that New York is a place where you should be safe...I guess there was nothing else for him to rap about so he decided to play it safe. He missed the mark for me.
