K. Sparks - Dreamin
Artist: K. Sparks
Producer: DJ Bobby Bob
Album: Manic Mondays (Week 36)
Label: Unsigned
With the release of last week’s Manic Mondays entry, Hard, K. Sparks made the exciting announcement that he was taking fan suggestions for number 36. Out of the 337 concepts that were sent in, a few stood out; among the runners-up he personally shouted out were DJBooth.net ‘Resident DJ’ bowwserr and, well, yours truly. In the end, he went with a concept by Ontario resident Samantha Stein, who suggested he write a record “about cartoons… doing things out out of the ordinary.” This served as the inspiration for Dreamin’, an absolutely hilarious cut in which Scooby Doo becomes a victim of racial profiling, Bugs Bunny is diagnosed with multiple STDs, and Kermit the Frog puts a hit out on Miss Piggy. DJ Bobby Bob‘s string-driven boardwork sets a sunny, retro mood that makes the Queens native’s strange tales seem even funnier, and the result is a record whose execution is even more impressive than the concept itself. But Sparks, if you’re reading, feel free to use my suggestion in a future cut—if there’s one emcee who could pull that off (and sound good doing it), you’re the man.

I had a dream the other day that Sparks would drop #36 and it would get consistent 4's and 5's....

id say this song is pretty good, i like k sparks, the chorus was cool, the only thing is the backround music made it harder to enjoy the rapping, overall its pretty good

Oh yeah. I love this right here! Congratulations, Samantha Stein!! It's an honor to simply be runner up. :)
Anyways, he flows fire right here. But, we all knew he would. It just goes without saying; Sparks is the next-gen rapper, ladies and gentlemen. This is Classic @richard - What was your suggestion, fam? I'm highly curious. |

Heard this song on sparks' youtube channel couple days, then i found out the idea was frm sumone in ontario and went nuts representing. But sparks' creativity is mind blowing, the spongebob and scooby references are especially funny. nuthing short of banger.
Oh yeah and intresting production 4 sure |

A little disappointed that he didn't choose mine... No not really, it's all good. This was way more creative than my suggestion. As usual he comes with some tight, funny rhymes over a cool, unique production.

I don't mean to disrupt the good ratings but for me I don't like this at all. Sometimes I do hear a track that I do like by him but this?? naw- it ain't for me.

This is really creative..how many rappers could rap on a concept like this? not many . The production on this is dope and K. Sparks brings the lyrics as usual. Love the songs on djbooth today..all solid from top to bottom!

I was waiting for the new Juelz Santana song to be on the booth today. But I agree that it has been a pretty stacked booth today.
Solid track, though when you compare this to some of the other tracks he's came out with, it cant compete (Its the curse of being critically acclaimed) |

Inspired short film loosely based on the track: catchy instrumentals cue in Sparks to begin, where he burns everything down with his flow and lyrical content. Hilarity ensues. Flute brings everyone back down to earth. Roll credits. That'll be $1.25 pal.

K.Sparks is been making me and the rest of Queens proud man...i love "comedy" rap (best Eminem example slim shady lp) so hearing spongebob, daffy, bugs, etc get their asses chewed up was awesome...good ish K.sparks
only thing i have to say about sparks is that his flow seems to be almost identical on every joint |

@bowwserr: All right, I'll spill: I suggested he write a lipogrammatic record, avoiding all words that contain the letter 'e.'
I'd still really like to hear someone do that (well), so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. How about yours? |

@Richard - I suggested that he spit about 2012, the year when the world is supposed to "end." You know, people killin' people, rappers spittin' some crazy s**t. I think hearin' him spit about that would be fire. And I'm excited to hear what hip-hop will sound like in 2012. So, yeah, that was my idea.

by the way, Richard, you're idea was very good as well. But it seems like it'd be too hard to pull off!! But, I gotta say, the winning entry and the honorable mentions were all really different from one another...just shows how versatile Sparks can be. I hope he uses more of these ideas in the future!

Not only does K. Sparks sound great over any production, he knows how to choose production that makes him sound the best. His storytelling skills are apparent on here, perhaps more than ever. Another more-than-worthwhile listen from Mr. Consistant.
