Joell Ortiz - Good Times

Contributed by M. Burmy

Listen to More: Street, Underground, Northeast

Recently being granted his requested release from Dr. Dre‘s Aftermath Entertainment (reportedly after refusing to dumb down his lyrics for radio), Brooklyn’s Joell Ortiz is happy to be a free agent right now.  Close to what we’ve heard, the Brooklyn native once again takes the listener back to his Cooper Park Projects neighborhood to reflect on all the Good Times experienced; since they tend to be few and far between, we’re left to wonder, in Ortiz’s words, ”days like this, why they have to stop?”  As Joell’s most-underrated-MC status is maintained on his verses, additional credit should go to producer Drewski, whose sampling of Bobby Darin’s classic When I Get Home provides a smooth, easygoing backdrop. For all those looking for some good old-fashioned quality hip-hop, check for Joell Ortiz’ upcoming sophomore album Free Agent, which will be in stores sooner than you think.

I like Joell Ortiz lyrically and his voice isn't annoying as some of these new age rappers...the production is kinda week and the hook isn't really that catchy...

I never really was looking for Joell in the past...but this joint right here is pretty tyte. I'm always a sucker for a soulful, good day and good times banger. I might become a new fan if he keeps serving up sincerity like this.

Not my type of song but decent! Good beat and good flow, the chorus is weak

Every time I am sent a new Joell Ortiz record, I need to allow for at least three listens. He is captivating on the lyrical tip and usually meshes well with his production compliments. Here, producer Drewski uses a SICK sample (see Burmy's blurb about for more info).

Really dig the sample on the production, although the beat is slightly sparse. Joell did his thing on this, it isn't bad, but can be dull at times. Its a solid track though, not single worthy, but a nice album one.
