Almost once per week, DJBooth will feature a song that looks like this: “Local Artist ft. National Heavyweight.” In their attempt to get some “shine” from a popular guest feature, the local/unsigned artist usually ends up being outdone by their self-recruited heavyweight. And while the casual listener might think that newcomer Little Vic and his recruitment of iconic rapper Kool G Rap is the epitome of that formula, what they don’t know is that Vic actually listened to Kool as a child and considers the veteran his hip-hop inspiration. On their collaborative effort, Caked Up, Vic clearly gives way to his mentor, making sure that the roles of teacher and student are recognized by everyone. Adding a ‘70s film effect to the song is producer Big KO, but the true spotlight is on the chemistry between the two artists.
This might be the first time I've seen Little spelled out in front of an artist's name. Must be a new thing. Nice scratching and sampling. Not feeling the flow on this track.
yea isnt a bad effort 1st up from lil vic and kool g rap on here gives it that credibility with his lyrical delivery..beat is nicely put together by big ko..
This isn't a song looking for airplay in the club and I think even Vic knows it doesn't have any radio appeal. However, it is a nice throwback joint. He did well for himself for grabbing up an iconic figure like Kool G Rap. Let's see where he goes from here...
I noticed most of y'all on here just wanna hear songs that you can dance too ('cuz there are a lot of "DJ's" on here and teeny-bop kids). I understand that but I mean, this is a decent track.
I don't expect to hear this on radio (radio does not play this kind of stuff!) but if dudes were bumpin' this in their cars, I'd definately look their way (lol) ....and I'm not an easy one to impress!! HAHAAA =P
**btw, so far DJ Z is the ONLY DJ on here with GOOD taste. ...I thought DJ's were supposed to be well-rounded anyway ??? so what's up with the rest of y'all????
SweetKizzez wat r u talking about? I'm just 16 so i guess that means im just wantin to listen to songs i can dance to right?? I've been comin to the Booth for a year or a lil less and your sayin that, dont try to judge people on the music they like because of there age or there job (DJ), and you would look there way because you would want to know where the 70's soundin music was coming from not because its good.. just keep your rating and your comments to yourself cause if you think we're gonna care about your opinion on things when your sayin things like that your wrong.
ummmmm SweetKissez wut r u talking about?? u think all these people want songz 2 dance 2....nope! I DO, but Most, (hey dont get mad @ me people, didnt say everyone, i said most), of these people want Westcoast style rap "real hip hop". So idk where ur comming frum say-n dat...mayb u just got 2 da booth or somethin. BUT ANYWAY, i dont like DIS @ all.
