On September 9, hip-hop/indie rock group Gym Class Heroes will release their fourth studio album, The Quilt. Arguably their most rap-influenced project to date, Quilt includes tracks with Busta Rhymes, The-Dream, and Estelle. Unfortunately, not all their collaborations could make the album’s final cut, as evidenced by the obligatory “haters” track, Don’t Tell Me It’s Over. As front man Travis McCoy exposes’ the dissenters’ desire to be just as big as he is, the king of just about everything hip-hop in ‘08, Weezy F Baby, hops on to address his own haters. Cool & Dre provide the background beat that accompanies Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo, Eric Roberts, and Matt McGinley‘s instrumentation. Although Don’t Tell Me It’s Over is an unreleased track, don’t be surprised if it is included as a bonus patch on the retailers quilt.
Note: The streaming of “Don’t Tell Me It’s Over” has temporarily been suspended.
Listen to Gym Class Hereos's Don't Tell Me It's Over ft. Lil' Wayne & Dre
With the exception of their new joint with Busta, I am not feeling what GCH has been putting out at all. Just because Wayne is on here doesn't mean I'm gonna give it mad props and jump on the bandwagon. The song is ok, but the truth is that it's just a simple track with simple wordplay, simple production, and a simple chorus. Not the worst I've heard, but it's barely in my rotation.
I always thought GCH was an indie/alternative like type of hiphop but it seems like they're going more and more mainstream, of should i say Travi is. At least i think the band has the chorus here but a lot of their recent songs have had produced beats so it really seems like its just Travi and 3 guys standing next to him rather than a band. Anyway, wasnt feelin this song too much and wayne didnt do anything to change that
travis gotta lot of personality on the mic... he sounded better than wayne on this song... wayne just shows up and gargles, collects his check, and somehow everyone says hes the greatest mc...
The drums on this! INSANE I love the production Cool and Dre bringin out. This is a interesting ode to haters. I see a theme here. Mcs are focusing on internet blog haters on tracks. I find that interesting.
kinda cool, got the same topic as the other track wit busta and that track is better, i like gch so i give this 2.5 stars, ima cop their album when it drops
uhhh hold on its just starting..uhhh lemme feel this...pianos on point okay..yuh...okay...yuh..aight i'll get with yall as soon as wayne spits..beat is unique so far. AHHH that cricket thing was dope. Chorus is average. Aight just heard wayne.............................................here's my opinion aka review: DON'T TELL ME wayne's verse IS OVER. Wayne in definately the highlight of the song. Overall its OK nothing SPECTACULAR
For god sake, Travis kils Wayne on this. Lil' wayne ruined this song. No wonder its not on their album. And I bet thats y game didnt give wayne a verse on My Life, cuzhe knows hes overated (my opinion)
This Beat Is FIRE... I would Destroy IT!... i Like The Chorus Alil... Travis Macoy Killed It... Lil Wanye Did Bad... it was hot ... im givin it a 5... because the song is hot in a whole... even though lil wayne did bad
Wow...Ive been a fan of GCH for a minute now and i liked their hip hop/rock mix but this album is gonna be hot as hell if it goes in this direction...I dig Travis' humor (not really much on this song) and his personality on and off the mic and dude def got skills...I dont think Wayne was that bad but Travy def killed it...
I'm so sick of Lil Wayne! Anyway good song...at the beginning I thought it was annoying but then I started loving it...the chorus is the best part, really! Gym Class Heroes are great
The production here is the best part. Cool & Dre show their versatility and the GCH put on display their unique sound. I am greatly looking forward to hearing the new album -- as it seems many of you are as well.
YES! Gym Class Heroes is the SHIZNIT!!!! They have really good songs with nice flows! Sick group! Cool and Dre killed this beat right here. I like the drums a lot. Travis is killin this beat! The chorus is aight...nothing really special. Lil wayne did his thing on here. This is Tight! Certified DJ BLAZE BANGER HERE!
Congrats on the first song i've ever liked by GCH =D LOL Wayne blows on this track, first time i've ever said that to, there's a first for everything haha
this song is really tight, for people that have made certain accomplishments in there life and have over came obstacles despite havin haters jockin them, they will feel it...others, well some day u might. big ups to travis, i c u dogg. felt it in u voice.
Gym Class Heroes did the typical sell out thinq, its obvious that they r tryin to appeal to a different qenre..Lil Wayne spits below averaqe- whatever he attempted to do to mark his "presence" .
This is straight FIRE. Cool & Dre have really been laying it down recently.. crazy ass beat right here. I am becoming a GCY fan as I hear more and more of this new album.. the joint with Busta was hot and this is too!
How much Cool & Dre will be on the album? Dre sounds kinda weird on here, but somehow, just somehow, he ends up sounding nice on his beat. Same with Weezy (though he doesn't sound weird; used to him on the vocoder now).
Teaspoon179, I have been thinking that for a while as well. But I think Travis has been wanting a solo project for a while and I’m sure it will be coming soon. I actually won’t say that would be a bad idea either. GCH is a great band and they’ve been getting more buzz as of late, but Travis is the premier lyricist and needs a chance to get his shine on as well too. Some call it selling out…but some just calling it expanding their horizon. They had lots of fans with their original sound and they will in turn just gain more fans moving into another realm, mainstream or not. Lil Wayne did give a wack verse. I will say that. I resent that he doesn’t go hard all the time. That’s a low integrity move for an artist. But the hook makes this sound epic. Just because it’s not like their usual stuff, you gotta still say it’s different…certainly different and more original than most stuff out right now. This song would have been a definite 4 stars without Wayne. Since he decided to grace us with his mediocrity, I'll only throw this into rotation.
I like wayne but i aint gonna rate it a 5 just cuz of that. To be honest this is around a 3 or 3.5, the piano tune is pretty catchy but the lyrics arent that good
this is hot..Travis really stepped his game up, i am a big weezy fan but i gotta admit he got murdered in this track...the beat is crazy props to cool & dre
Not being a big fan of GCH I was really impressed. The production from Cool & Dre was on point and lyrically they did their thing and the chorus was cool. Wayne on the other hand is the most OVERATED rapper his verse could of been better it was terrible and short. Overall the track was pretty good
Wayne is turning into Will Farrel in my eyes (and I'm sorry if I've said this before) but he is whoring himself out to the point that everyone is starting to get f***'n tired of him whether he does good or bad w/ or w/o autotune. It takes a smarter man to not exhaust listeners ears with too much and Wayne ain't lkin so smart right now.
