It seems like most artists’ introductory singles start out as underground hits, but once the majors take notice, hello superstardom!  That pattern has been most recently proven with Atlanta trio Fast Life Yungstaz’ catchy rap-dance combo Swag Surfin’.  Already a hit in the Dirty South, it’s gotten FLY signed to Def Jam and inspired various homemade dance videos.  Likely one of the thousands to view these videos on YouTube, self-proclaimed “Prince of New York” DJ Self has enlisted three Brooklynites and a Harlem native to freestyle over the record.  After Fabolous, Juelz Santana, and Red Cafe bend their flows around K.E.‘s tenor sax beat, Maino admits he’s kinda tired of the overuse of “swag,” but proceeds to describe the distinctive style of a BK street soldier.  So, readers, who’s got the most “swag,” the original’s Dirty Southerners or this freestyle’s Northeastern lineup?

Bubblegum rap that isn't even that entertaining. Its catchy, but I'm not really feelin it. All rappers are straight on here, but nuttin great. Just OK for me, nothin to bother gettin up out yo seat for.

This is not anything great. All of these artists seem kind of bored and the production is too generic. Rappin over an overused word doesnt help either.

I didn't like the original version much (which is why we never featured it inside the Booth), but this posseses that extra oomph to actually listen all the way through.

Again, this is not my cup of tea when it comes to enjoyable music, but its got crowd appeal for sure. Kudos to K.E. for the bouncy production work.

* Props to Self.

I like the rappers lineup here and idk why I like it :S. It was actually pretty good (not considering the lyrics). Chorus was whack though.

Considering that it features 4 very solid MC's on the track, I was really disappointed with it. Didn't really feel the production & none of the verses were good enough to really gain my attention.

Disappointing. That's the first word that comes to mind. Wouldn't be upset if this one never hit my ear drums again.

Loso usually has some sick wit but he was average at best here. The Swag usage during the hook is mad annoying. Beat wasn't hard enough for Santana.

The production is cool but the overall song really bored me. It had potential, but they didn't develop it in the right way

the original was boring, i live in the south so i heard it i cant stand the whole swag talk which is y i personally like maino on this verse, and people this is a freestyle, u cant expect 5 star lyrics all the time. and whether u like it or not the beat is nice. get frunk and play this song i put money u would be rockin to it, i do. this is a club song that is meant for the club, its for people to dance to. its not a lyrical song to begin with, just have fun. thats wat a lot of fans and artist are forgetin in this era. JUST HAVE SOME DAMN FUN PEOPLE!!!!
