Upset that hip-hop has gone from a “platform for self-expression, creativity, and respect” to a “high school popularity contest,” South Miami native GhostWridah has decided that its time hip-hop be given a new leader. Judging from his verses on the J Cardim-produced single, Born & Raised, listeners should be able to feel his passion with every line delivered. While the song’s chosen collaborator, Shawty Lo, might not be lyrically capable of backing up the message, GhostWridah could competently control the track even without any assistance. Born & Raised will appear on the new album, The Ruler is Back, dropping later this month.
So, Shawty Lo is getting old. And the squeaky part is both unnecessary and a bit annoying. But GhostWridah goes hard on this one. His flow is money on this beat. This isn't the best song I've ever heard, but I'm throwin this in my rotation .
Ay y'all, it's M.Burmy's 21st birthday today (June 6). Hit him up on his MySpace ( http://www.myspace.com/mburmyakadjjunior ) and tell him Happy Birthday!
sigh... Well I like the beat here. @*#$! is strong. Deffinatly a sick one. I hate to say it, but Weezy is missing here. lol Imagine that. Shawty Lo please go. Ghost is not bad.
y r there so many haterz 2wardz Shawty Lo?! i dont think he's get-n old...i like almost everything he iz featured on. Anyway 4 DIS song i will list-n again...it's gud...not a 5 tho.
Don't judge a book by it's cover, yo. This is a song that is actually solid, but will be unfairly rated because members see Shawty Lo on the title line. Nice lyrics, nice bass.
Z, I don't think I rated it unfairly. I'm not a huge fan of Shawty Lo but I rated 3 because it's going in rotation. I listened to it all the way through before rating. Don't worry . It's a good song.
One might question if starting with a Shawty Lo feature will get you a lot of respect, but he does nicely on here, and Shawty Lo didn't get (really) annoying on the hook.
Shawty Lo was tight on this track, I'm not sure what most of you are talking about? Ghostwridah was cool, but I find it annoying when people rhyme the same word two lines in a row, "where 'ol school Chevy's sit higher than a jet. I'm flyer than a jet, yes I should be in a jet." Come on now. I would like to hear more from him and this track is easily in rotation. I'm givin' it a 4 to help the rating (I can cancel out one of the Shawty Lo haters DJ Z!).
