Glasses Malone - Before It All Ends
Artist: Glasses Malone
Featuring: Jay Rock , Snoop Dogg
Producer: Sega
Album: Nightmare on Seven Street Mixtape
Label: Suburban Noize/Cash Money
There’s simply nothing like making a living doing what you love. Just ask Glasses Malone, who spends his days enjoying his two favorite pastimes: hustling and ‘ho’s. Simply put, he’s living every second as if it were his last, and if he goes to jail Before It All Ends, hey, that’s just the way it goes. Though some may not share the rapper’s nonchalance about hard time, the philosophical mindset he espouses on this newly-leaked mixtape track is appealing, as is his gruff wordplay, (“My paper A+, look I run class/ But my b*tch get an ‘F,’ she got dumb ass). After the bespectacled emcee’s opener, two likeminded Cali neighbors step up to the mic to put in their two cents over Sega‘s tunefully street piano-bell beat. The one and only Snoop Dogg showcases his inimitably laid-back flow on the second verse, and Jay Rock ends the record on a reflective note, spitting “Before it all ends, shed light/ let the top back and the sun in.” Glasses Malone’s Nightmare on Seven Street mixtape is set to hit the ‘net Oct. 27, paving the way for the Nov. 23 release of his debut studio album, Beach Cruiser.

Snoop limped across that 16 bar finish line. He's become a novelty rapper, just featured for his reputation and his voice. Jay Rock's verse was nice

While I don't share G. Malone's thoughts on the matter at hand, I did enjoy this record. The uncredited hook singer was on point and all three emcees delivered on their verses. Hopefully, Malone's mixtape will hit and then the current drop date for his debut will stick.

Malone's verse was the best and Snoop has not just become a novelty rapper. I think he was just going through a slump for a while there.
Although I don't agree with the whole "if I go to jail oh well" deal I still enjoyed the track. |

Yup I agree with the majority on the lack of originality.

Well, I'm with @that1kid13 on this right here. The production is slow moving and perfect for riding out and some average to above-average performances by artists involved. Overall, its the hook that elevates this joint to BANGER!!! status for me.

No surprise here - this is in rotation. I really liked the smoothness of the joint matched with that "lazy boi chair", "puff, puff" easy flow.
Yo XuUP17, what's up with the reference to Snoop D.O. double Geezy? Novalty rapper? |
