Kardinal Offishall - Smash The Club
Artist: Kardinal Offishall
Featuring: Pitbull , Lil Jon , Clinton Sparks
Producer: Clinton Sparks & DJ Snake
Album: Mr. International
Label: Black Stone Colleagues/GFMGG
Those who have been closely following Kardinal Offishall’s career over the last couple years have seen the Toronto emcee’s career go through more twists and turns than Lindsay Lohan driving after a weekend bender. The one-time underground sensation signed to Konvict and immediately had a major hit (Dangerous), then seemed confined to musical limbo, not disappearing but not staying on top either. Well, you know what they say, when you need the spotlight to swing back in your direction make a club banger; no, make that a club smasher. True to its title, new single Smash the Club is fueled by a high octane beat by Clinton Sparks and DJ Snake that sounds like it just boarded a plane to Vegas. Serving hype man duty is consummate yeller Lil Jon, who exhorts the crowd to continue to move between Kardi and the always smooth Pitbull’s verses. It’s a formula guaranteed to inspire some serious Patron shot taking, but will it win over Booth commenters? We’ll find out soon, which coincidentally is also when Offishall’s long-awaited album Mr. International is finally scheduled to drop.

It's a club track..nothing more or less, I didin't go into this expecting great lyrical substance and neither should anyone else. It will do well in the clubs.

What more could you want from a club track than catchy hooks and lines, and a beat that makes you move! This is the type of song that if played in a club setting would automatically get the party going! Clinton Sparks knows exactly what he's doing, and knows what they want in the club.

I understand why Jon is on the record (see Fatman Scoop, circa 90s), but he isn't needed. I might enjoy the record - in the right setting - more without his yelling over the top. Overall, I can see plenty of DJs spinning this in their club sets.

Its doesnt sound like the typical club songs recently released. It doe have a uniquely different sound, infact it has the feel of a LMAFO track. As a club joint it bangs.

You know when LIl' John is on the track, the track is aiming for substance or quality. This track is no different. I guess for a club track it's decent, but it's still pretty bad. Kardinal is the only redeeming part of this track.

I agree with Caveman 305 and say that this track is 'better than average club track'. Thanks for the words simply.
