Jack Splash - Flashback
Artist: Jack Splash
Featuring: Lupe Fiasco
Producer: Jack Splash
Album: Technology and Love Might Save Us All
Label: J Records
When Jack Splash introduced himself to the Booth with Missy Elliot/Jazmine Sullivan collabo I Could Have Loved You, reader reactions were all over the board—while the consensus was that the Miami native’s style was “weird,” “out of the box,” and even a little “bizarre,” there was some disagreement as to whether that was a good or a bad thing. Personally, I love weird, and those who share my enthusiasm for out-of-the-ordinary sounds will be happy to hear that this new feature is about as left-of-center as you can get without falling off the map. On Flashback, Splash does double-duty, showcasing his Prince-ly falsetto over a self-produced beat pairing funk guitar with a bouncy, syncopated rhythm, all tied together with a glittering piano run. To my ears, it’s pretty damned catchy, but even if the genre-bending groove isn’t your cup of tea, it’s hard to argue with the Booth appeal of Chi-town phenom Lupe Fiasco‘s energetic guest bars. For more infectiously off-the-wall musical experimentation and plenty of big-name cameos, pick up a copy of Technology and Love Might Save Us All, set to drop this fall off J Records.

I agree with what richard said when he said he "loves weird" (by the way, there's a type-o in the blurb - haqppy...). I do too. I love originality and creativity. This definitely caught my ears and Lupe's verse was a great fit for this. 3.5, but I'll round up.

Strange! Not something I like at all. Lupe knows he can do no wrong, but even he couldn't save this bad disco track.

Damn, there's a lot goin on in this track. Between the funky guitar, soulful piano, and 80's style vocals I had a hard time keepin it all straight. That just made it for a great listenin experience for me, though. There was never a dull moment, and Lupe's addition created such a perfect contrast that I just pushed the track to banger status. I'm wit you, richard, wierd is cool... at least in this case.

Splash, as evidenced by the early reviews, is a love it or hate it artists for our DJBooth community. I am on the "love it" end of the spectrum. Prince was clearly this man's icon. This oozes his sound. Lupe killed the guest verse - but what do you expect?

Wow, this track is just oozing 80s, i like it...i am a big fan of Prince and this definitely has his sound in here. Lupe just kills this, he sounded great with the production. Vocals are alright, not great but definitely not bad either. 3.5/5

Man it's been awhile since I actually commented. Ok this stuff is major left field, but that's where I play. Lupe killed this, his name is what drew me to the song but I'm digging the beat and style. I'm interested in what else Jack Splash has to offer

Weird FTW!!! :p I loved all the instruments, great tunes. The vocals are weird but not enough to annoy me cuz I didn't take them seriously, this is fun!
Lupe was amazing! Did he mention Pete Wentz to rhyme with defense?! Lupe is THE coolest nigga! Great flow! |

"pairing funk guitar with a bouncy, syncopated rhythm, all tied together with a glittering piano run" - The combination may sound weird, but the results are overwhelming and definitely more appealing than his past joint but still aint topping "Ringtone" ... This guy Jack Splash's voice is? gonna have to grow on me ... but as expected Lupe kills it.

It's definitely a flash back to the 70/80s...the good old days :) Just wish there was a little more Lupe but I don't mind the falsetto since it flows with the funky beat! 3.5 but rounding up for nostalgia sake
