Dee-1 - Jay, 50 and Weezy
Artist: Dee-1
Producer: Cuzin Mike
Album: I Hope They Hear Me (Vol. 2)
Label: Omar Ent.
Sigmund Freud (in)famously stated that every dream represents the fulfillment of a wish. While I’m sure we all could think of counter-examples to that theory, the dream Booth newcomer Dee-1 describes on new single Jay, 50 and Weezy fits in rather neatly – how many of us haven’t fantasized about telling a rap heavyweight or two exactly what we think of they way they’re conducting their careers? Over Cuzin Mike‘s head-noddable chopped-sample beat, the New Orleans native offers tough but fair criticisms to each of the aforementioned artists, encouraging 50 to quit beefing and put his vaunted entrepreneurial skills to good use, challenging Wayne to support the Big Easy with his money as well as his words, and asking Hova to throw his considerable clout behind artists who will push the game forward. He concludes with some bracing words for the African-American community as a whole: “Ancestors of ours are screaming from the grave, ‘cause physically we’re free, but we’re still mental slaves.” Craving more deep thoughts from Dee-1? You’ll find what you seek on I Hope They Hear Me (Vol. 2), due out later this year.

Is it just me or does that picture of him resemble a black Russell Brand? I can't believe this song was almost 5 minutes long, it went by fast. They all did very good. This is my second 5-star rating today.

The stage name and the song title made me think, "Oh boy, here we go." But 10 seconds in and immediately my preconceived notions proved to be way way wrong. Dee-1 doesn't have the most unique voice in the world, but he tells a great story and does so over some pretty interesting board work. Good stuff. What is next?

Yo, what's this sample from? It's killing me, I can hear the melody in my head.
Anyway, you couldn't have been more impressed with Dee's flow. If you're going to dole out advice to some major players you better come with it, and Dee more than lived up to it.

I had to rate this after hearing it. Though I've never heard of Dee-1 before he definitely knows what he's doing. This is real music that's honest. We need more of this honesty. Thanks Dee-1.

I like it! Not going to be my fav but very good still.
Beat: 4/5 I love the beat. I can't say it is technically impressive, but it sounds good, goes great with the flow of the song. Lyrics: 3/5 I like the lyrics. Humor! imagine a rapper with some humor. Such a fresh breeze. Besides that the rhymes are good, the wordplay is good. The content is there. Only reason I don't rate higher is it is very slow, not much range except a few spoken parts, and just not technically impressive at all. |

This was okay. Too much hype from everyone though. I thought the lyrics were good, but the beat was just average to me.

Hope this doesn't end up being all he's got. He says what needs to be said, and hopefully he keeps it going this way and doesn't end up doing what he's callin out
