Gillie Da Kid - Do Your Job
Artist: Gillie Da Kid
Producer: Young Ike Turna
Album: Gillie Da Kid: King of Philly
Label: Figgas 4 Life Ent.
Having shuffled on and off numerous labels, such as Suave House, Roc-A-Fella, Warner Bros., and Cash Money (where he allegedly ghostwrote for Lil’ Wayne), Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da Kid has teamed up with everybody’s favorite mid-major label, Koch, for his debut album, King of Philly. If there’s one thing Gillie knows from his back-burner experience, it’s the haters that exist at both the underground and major levels. On Do Your Job, the emcee begs them all not to stop. Most of the potential hate for this record will be directed at producer Young Ike Turna for his club-ready beat (and Katt Williams audio clip), as well as the interpolated LL Cool J “go head” sample.

Here we go! This is the first time I've actually heared this fool rap. I've seen his video on wayne and cassady. This fool sopostily wrote lyrics for wayne? WHen was this? lol I find that somehow hard to believe. Either way, I find this song to be surprisingly solid. I like the hook. Dude is a decent MC, not bad, this is alright!

I don't find that hard to believe at all about the ghostwriting thing. But I know all y'all heard what Funkmaster Flex said this past week. Even if you were a ghostwriter, no one cares about you. It's people who know Gillie wrote for Wayne, but they are still going to love Wayne regardless and that ghostwriter has to earn his rap respect just like everyone else...so it's virtually pointless to point out that they wrote something for someone else. I like this production from the really lame named produced "Young Ike Turna". Gillie is not bad at all. I'd actually like to listen him more than Wayne at the moment, simply because it's a fresh voice. I like the last single I heard from Gillie called "Get Down On The Ground". That beat and song jumps off! This is definitely solid. I'll absolutely throw it in rotation. Good flow, good beat and great engineering. Enough said.

Gillie is a problem. I really think he did ghost write for Wayne. Wayne style was different then it was now before and now. He rapped like somebody from Philly. And if you listen to Gillie you can here a lot of him in Wayne at that time. Anyway this is pretty good. I woould never call him the king of philly though

I couldn't listen to the rest of this song...And the producer's name, young ike turner..must be nice to imitate someone who isn't even proud of their own accomplishments.
come on folks, this song is a set back. |

Gillie has a buzz about him, but I am thinking (outside of the east coast) it isn't a good buzz. Hopefully he will be able to break through some of this rumor/stereotype bullsh*t and produce a good album. I am officially sick of the hater trend, but I am not being hated on... so I guess I don't understand (or maybe, I am a hater too?)

I like the production, the beat sounds good and he flows good. But I have doubts about the overall song, like veryone else wrote it's a bit boring...the chorus is weak! If I was a dj, I would throw it in rotation

Dig this, I am from phille and postin this from the heart o fthe city, Gillie is A REAL PROBLEM!! This track is one of his weaker ones to me but I know he ghost wrote for gille. I used to spit and I remember him makin appearances in the cash money limo to the ruff ryder shows that came through. He is a real "g"..look up how wayne said he was never commin to philly to preform. I like wayne too and think waynes betta without gillie but anyone who's in or from philly knows he is real and has been as far as I can remeba. Seriously..North philly stand up!

Gillie only has a name cuz of that Lil' Wayne shit. Note, he's still wearing that chain he was talkin about 2 yrs ago. He's a broke, weak rapper. The chorus reminds me of a Game song.

he may have wrote for lil wayne and may have helped him come up in the game but he aint bringing wayne down. wayne escaladed himself to a different level than gillie could ever get to. tho this song is aight and his get down on the floor song is tight, aint no way he even comes close to measuring up to lil wayne. no matter if he ghost writes for him or not.

How people commentin on another man's financial status? Are you his accountant? I thought not. Song is straight. Gillie is slept on, but most good MC's are. Maybe if he was wack people would like him and he'd get lots of radio play.
