Hollywood FLOSS - Mr. Big Stuff
Artist: Hollywood FLOSS
Producer: John Dew
Album: Xperiment Vol. 2
Label: Kwiet Riot Music Group
Do short people really have it tough? As an American male of very average stature (5’11” on my license, 6’0” when I’m rounding up), I have absolutely no idea. For a more informed take on the matter, we turn to Hollywood FLOSS, whose first Booth feature goes out to “all the homies 5’10” and under.” On newly-leaked mixtape cut Mr. Big Stuff, the Houston up-and-comer (no, he’s not from Hollywood, despite what the stage name may suggest) acknowledges that below-average height has its downsides (not being able to ride roller coasters, having to sit on a high chair at the barbershop…) but concludes that, all in all, life as a shorty (so to speak) isn’t as difficult as it’s made out to be. Vertically-challenged individuals tired of being underestimated by their towering peers are sure to relate to this track; the rest of us can simply nod our elevated craniums along with John Dew‘s upbeat, funky instrumental, featuring a fresh, electro-flavored beat switch on the back end. Listeners of all shapes and sizes can find more from Hollywood FLOSS on the rising star’s Xperiment Pt. 2 mixtape, set to hit the ‘net May 3.

Wasnt't sure I liked this one at first (maybe its because I'm a tall guy?). Well, after 4 listens I made the decision. I like it. At first I felt like Floss was just a silly emcee who didn't take his craft seriously, but in the context of this record the approach makes perfect sense (and is executed).
A little personality goes a long and that is def on display here. |

I think this is the first track I've ever heard that has height as a theme. That's hilarious! It sounds like it would fit perfectly as the theme song for a sitcom, or something similar.
I wonder how tall he is? If he mentioned it, I must have missed it. Under 5'10" obviously. |

Not impressed by the use of the sample at all. My first impression was that he had great energy but thats about it. It might be better if I were in his short demographic...

yeah really showed a different side to hip-hop, a sunny beat (not the best way of describing it im sure but i cant be bothered thinking of a better word) which influences his flow, kinda happy. i like!

Maybe me being Indian, I can relate to this more than you guys can, but any one with an affinity for good music and original concept should be happy with what Hollywood Floss cooks up. His lyrics are written to be both entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time. Slick execution!

decent flow.
Love the fact that he's not spittin' about bashing my face in with his nickle bags and panty collection. Not crazy about the beat. I am not feeling the hook or the Mr Big Stuff Sample. |
