Ko*Starz - My Favorite Girl
Artist: Ko*Starz
Producer: R. Dott
Album: Phone Home (Vol. 2) (Back to the Future) Mixtape
Label: WeMakeHit Records
On the final single off his seventh studio album, Bad, Michael Jackson sang the praises of a Liberian Girl who came along and changed his world (just like in a movie!). Though Young Starr, K. Rich, and R. Dott of Ko*Starz are considerably less choosy when it comes to females’ countries of origin, they’re not about to pass up a chance to pay homage to the late, great King of Pop—on mixtape track My Favorite Girl, making its exclusive world premiere right here in the Booth, the Chi-town hip-hopsters take inspiration from the pop icon’s ‘89 single as they sing/rap the praises of ladies across the globe, whether hailing from Liberia, Nigeria, Australia or America. Like several MJ-inspired records we’ve featured since the legend’s untimely passing, this isn’t a “tribute record” per se, but R. Dott’s reinterpretation of the original’s instrumental, along with the trio’s fresh, often-hilarious rhymes, add up to a catchy track sure to evoke fond memories among the singer’s many devotees. Fans can find this cut, Jet Black Jetta (also premiered in the Booth), and much more on the DJBooth.net-cosponsored Phone Home Vol. 2: Back to the Future mixtape, set to drop August 18th.

While I couldn't appreciate Rick Ross' poor excuse for a supposed "memorial track" (Neverland), I can appreciate what the Ko*Starz have done here. "Liberian Girl" is a DOPE MJ record (one that hasn't really ever been talked about among Michale's hits) and they pay a nice tribute to it with "My Favorite Girl." Very enjoyable.
Goes to show (again) what an influence this man was to all of us.

Yea I love that song! MJ was the best ever. That is more evident now than ever b4. This is a great sample of his music. I expect alot of this MJ sampling in the near future. This is on fire.

Ko*Starz are always comin with heat.... while I'm not a fan of all the Michael Jackson beats floating around now, per the 4-star rating, they focus on the rhymes (dope as always) and let the sample speak for itself instead of making it extremely showy. Liberian Girl is a dope track too. Now if someone can get to Rockin Robin...
only reason this is a 4 is because I've heard 5's from them. This is a group to watch! Whatup dudes! |
