Kardinal Offishall - Body Bounce
Featuring: Akon
Producer: Haze
Album: Mr. International
Label: Black Jays/KonLive
You ever think that something would go together perfectly, then come to find out that the mixture just doesn’t work? You know, like sandals with socks. Yeah, well Body Bounce is one of those concoctions. Akon and his affiliate artist Kardinal Offishall play mad scientists as they partner up for a synth-infused pop/rap party anthem instrumental (key ingredient courtesy of producer Haze). Akon holds up his end of the project as the international singer provides an excellent club ready hook for Kardi, however, the usually witty Canadian lyricist just doesn’t fully deliver. Body Bounce was precisely measured for success, and while lines like “them stretch marks on ya hip is bungee cords that bounce back when you dip,” are definitely rewind worthy, somehow the lyrics are just too safe and disposable to really add up to a hit single. But hey, all teachers grade differently. If you’d give this a passing grade then make sure to cop Kardinal’s new album Mr. International when it drops this fall.

For those who started following Kardi two years ago when he released his KonLive debut, this is right in line with the hip-pop emcee that they know and love. For listeners who know of the pre-KonLive Kardi, I am sure this is slightly disappointing. While I could definitely find myself enjoying this in the club, it doesn't have much personal repeat appeal. Rotation nonetheless.

I feel opposite of Quentin. The production and verses are excellent (not lyrically but the flow undeniably works). Unfortunately, Akon's chorus was a bit lacking for me. Of course, Akon is this tracks ticket to radioplay so I can understand why Kardinall put him on. (However, if I was in management at Konvict, I would have pressed a Lady GaGa hook. Everything that woman touches becomes a smash except for, unfortunately, "Chillin'")

This is exactly what I was expecting... And to be honest, I don't mind at all. Kardinal came with his signature flow and it was enjoyable. Akon was solid and will get this more recognition. Good song for what it was made for.

This is a downfall from their previous "Dangerous" they could have done better.

On a larger level I see how this one could be a hit, but I can't help but reminisce about the lyrically devastating Kardinal we used to hear years ago (a.k.a. War w/Marco Polo). Oh well, guess I can't hate on the man for making that money. Still, it's just ok.

I've always liked kardinal's music he has good taste in production and guest features...but i gotta admit that this one brought it down for him a bit... the production is the shit no lie about that but he didnt go as hard as i thought he would... i was expecting a "set it off" scenerio but he didnt deliver

RADIO SMASH. They know how to work the listeners and thats exactly what they did with this joint. I will be hearing this on the radio within the next few months if not a few days.

Even though Kardi is sick on his lyrical tracks, this song is a B-B-BANGERR!!! The beat goes hard, Akon sounded great on the hook, and Kardi's flow was awesome! I love it when Akon gets on tracks like this! This song as a whole is nice and refreshing from the uninspired tracks doing the rounds atm....Fk it 5 stars!!

And Kardinal Offishal have another hit on his hands with this one. Akon nicely delivers a hook that is just perfect to kick your weekend into gear, with some heavy bassline action one would expect from a joint tiled "Body Bounce".
I feel ya, @Quentin Cuff. I agree that Rappers need to/can put more effort into crafting their rhymes for the club bangers! and not entirely rely on beat and hook to carry the joint. That would be dope! |

This wont be as big as Dangerous, though it should do some damage for Kardinal on the charts. The productions bouncy, Kardinal's flow sounded good & the hook from Akon was tight. This should be the sort of tracks that girls will enjoy when in the club, though its nothing I would listen to on a regular

Club song. Plain and simple. Akon provides a dancable chorus and kardinall spits body movin' verse.

T Dot STAND UP!!! < yh i reside in Toronto> ok let me conceptualize this without thinking about allegiances. I always like Kardinals fun flow. almost seems like he's a kid playing around in the booth with words, but it works for him. the beat is for the clubs and doesn't fail in that respect. Akon does what he has done for every single song he ever sang for and gives those robotic vocals as well as akon could. its a banger for me <n yh i was still a bit biased>

The first time I hear this I liked it a lot but as I listened to it more it is just alright. " I am about to launch my rocket" got old but it is still a banger however I dont think in a month anybody will be talking about it the reason being that the beat is just alright

I can easily see this song lighting up clubs all over the place. Artistically this song doesnt have much going for it but hey Akon does his thing and Kard goes hard for the club. Toss it in rotation i guess.

The beat and Chrous are great. I felt like Kardinal lacked the energy to keep up with the rest of the song. 3 stars for now, but I am hoping that when I hear it on the radio and turn it way up, it will be a 4.
