DJ King Assassin - How U Like Me Now ft. Wordsmith
Artist: DJ King Assassin
Featuring: Wordsmith
Producer: Chuck Classik
Album: Promo Single
Label: Universal Music Group
The legendary Kool Moe Dee let the world know exactly how he felt about a young James Todd Smith on the original How U Like Me Now. DJ King Assassin’s new version, however, acts as a walk down memory lane with a classic hip-hop soundtrack, all played out in a little over three minutes. While DJBooth regular Wordsmith handles the emcee duties, Chuck Classik’s production will have hip-hop heads thinking back to where they were when Run-DMC, Slick Rick, EPMD and Black Sheep first were introduced to their eardrums. An easy candidate to be overlooked by anyone who isn’t an avid vinyl collector, How U Like Me Now is a bit more filler than fuller, but gives Wordsmith ample opportunity to showcase his nimbleness.

This is alot different than any radio or even mixtape play that is out there for that matter. I thought it was Noon on a weekday and my local radio station was playing the 12 o'clock flash back mix. DJBooth may surprise me but I don't think many will be ready for this. Anyway Wordsmith sounds alot like Talib Kweli and I like this one and it would atleast make my 12 o'clock mix.

I'm with G_man on this one. Sounds like a mix on the radio. It's really different. I can't really place a setting in which this track is appropriate.In the Club? No While working out? Maybe. In the whip? Na. While I'm trina read/study? Hell no. With my lady? Please... It really doesn't have a place as far as I can see. Maybe ya'll disagree. I'm alil lost with this one. I guess its ok. Its not a bad song/ mix of old school beats, it's just hard to place.

This definitely reminds me of listening to East Coast Online Radio! I really dig this. It does belong on a station or something like that. But this is good for listening pleasure. Definitely. For heads only!

A bit confusing to begin with so took a few listens. But starting to think it deserves to be put it in rotation just for the memories.

The beginning of this song is too confused but then it starts in a good way, the production is banging! They also sound good, anyway I wouldn't listen to this again, I would get tired of it very soon! It gets confused also in the middle. 2,5
