Remember the “rockstar” fad that peaked in ‘07, thanks in large part to a certain Atlanta threesome‘s Billboard #2 hit?  Though the trend’s been in remission for quite a while now, DJ Kay Slay‘s decided to follow in Hova‘s footsteps and pronounce it dead once and for all.  On Kay’s latest single, Plies, Jim Jones, and Busta Rhymes all clearly state that as young people, they never wanted to be rockstars; on the contrary, they simply wanted to be Blockstars, well-known and respected in their own hoods. Slay-favorite Ray J brings plenty of pop appeal on the hook, but producers Jimi Kendrix & J Math are this track’s co-MVPs, delivering the “epic” factor we’ve come to expect from DJ compilation singles.  If, after hearing this trend-killing track, you agree that Kay Slay’s More Than A DJ, keep it locked to the Booth for further details on his forthcoming LP (Sept. ‘09) of the same name.

From what I hear, I am a Blockstar....

Sidenote: I would have preferred someone (anyone) else on the hook here. Is it just me?

i hate to say i like "Rockstar" better lol but Plies did good actually. im glad lol. Jim Jones was... ahem.. Jim Jones. And Busta has done better in my opinion too. 2.5 stars i guess. Plies did the best to me.

This definitely could have been a lot better. Plies is so overrated it's not even funny. He only rhymes the last syllable of each line and it just doesn't sound that good. The hook could have been so much better. I agree that Ray J was definitely not the best fit here. Jim Jones was OK, not terrible but nothing memorable. Busta was sick and the production was tight, so those are the two high points. Rotation, I guess.

It was cool to be a "Rockstar" a week ago but not anymore ... haha ...

Plies is tolerable here delivery wise spittin aggresively. Wasnt expectin anything out of the ordinary from Jones (barely tolerable) ... Busta's guest appearance, while flaring in charisma/flow, lacks substance .... Ray J provides fair support on the hook even though he has never been a favorite crooner of mine ... 2.5 but wont Round-up to negate @Mo City's "fresh" feedback ... ;-)
