Dre Biggity - CREAM
Artist: Dre Biggity
Featuring: Diz Gibran , Fashawn
Producer: Best Kept Secret
Album: The Diaper Dandy
Label: Unsigned
If you’re going to remake (or at the least reinterpret) a classic hip-hop track like C.R.E.A.M. you better come with it, and thankfully DJBooth newcomer Dre Biggity does just that with his new homage to the original, CREAM (C.ops R.uin E.verything A.round M.e). Ain’t that the truth. Anyway, this time around the production is more soulful than gritty, floating above the fray on some quality production from Best Kept Secret that stays anchored in the streets by Dre’s solid lines: “Speakers bumpin crack coming through the tweaters, cops zoomin in the other lane, ruinin another day.” Joining Dre are his fellow Cali compatriots Diz Gibran and Fashawn, who more than hold their own. This version isn’t as good as the original – how could it be? – but it’s a more than worthy addition to the C.R.E.A.M. legacy. You can hear more from Dre when his possibly Dick Vitale inspired album The Diaper Dandy drops later this fall.

I agree with Nathan in that nobody will ever re-make any CREAM record and outdo the original Wu single. But, they do an admirable job here. Diz and Fashawn have been on our DJBooth radar for some time. Dre makes a nice entrance.

Reading what this track was aiming to accomplish I didn't think it could be done. I agree with kid13 the original wins..but Ima have to say I really digs this. Really solid attempt to pay homage here

I can feel this dude's Cali-swagger all over the track. I like the production, but I'm not feelin' the lyrical prowess or lack thereof. It just sounds a little basic in my opinion. This is OK.

No one is ever gonna top the WU CREAM, but this track is an ILL play off of the famous Acronym. Dre's clever verse and hooks makes his Industry debut a homerun out of the park. Fashawn is the Chosen one. Diz's last verse is so memorable "don't let em harass you".

Dre has a lot more on the way (full disclosure i wrote one of the heaters you'll be hearing from him soon)
diz and fashawn are both great and i like Best Kept Secret's flip of this beat vs whomever did the royce/talib/raekwon joint with the same sample. IM KING! |

Not to say anything about the talent of the artists buttttt if you take on something or someone bigger than you you will lose! So yeah I agree with everybody else the original wins___did you really think there would be any other outcome? But much props to the attempt!!!
