In early June, DJBooth featured the original version of Don’t Take It There to mixed reviews. The DJ Kay Slay-orchestrated, Papoose and Junior Reid-featuring Clinton Sparks-produced track seemed to lack a certain “something” according to our members. Nearly three full months later, Kay Slay has scooped up Northeast favorites Tony Yayo, Uncle Murda, Sheek Louch, and Jim Jones for a special “Unity” remix. While it’s highly doubtful that all six artists recorded the new version together in a studio, props must be given to the Harlem-raised Drama King for collecting the individual talents, all of whom have had beef with one another. So, did the new additions give it that special “something?” Slay is set to release his new project, More Than Just a DJ!, later this fall.
Not feeling this at all. There's nothing special about it and for a song with this many artists, its missing the WOW factor. Glad to see everyone come together, but the reality is that most of them are average rappers and the production is just average as well. Junior Reed does a damn good job on the chorus, but this track doesn't grab my attention.
cb you said everything that needed to be said, just one thing to point out though, i like Tony Yayo about as much as i like The Game.. haha get that one, Lyrics are lacking on this one, I second you on this chorus lol.
the beat is kool...louch came in nice, papoose kinda disappointed me, yayo is a waste of space, murda can only rap about murdering dudes and nothing else, jim jones well jim jones was jim jones...in my opinion the production and junior reed were the only two objects saving this from being total garbage..
Royalty like you wrote the production is good. But I hate songs which have too many rappers, they sound too confused! The chorus is really good, is it Junior Reed singing? because I don't recognise their voices. To me this track isn't garbage, I've heard many other songs that were really unbearable...but it's forgettable! 2,5
i luv this type of rap....obviously papoose kills it..but yayo goes hard..im feelin him lately..lol
i can understand y sum peeps dont like it but i l LUV IT!!
Love Junior Reed on da chorus, Pap came hard, Sheek wasn't bad, Yayo was so-so good for him I guess..., Uncle murda killed it, but it shouldn't of ended with Jim Jones he is a filler rapper at best; no content, his voice isn't a good tone for the beat and he should stick to "BALLIN'!"
