One of the most common themes in hip-hop is the art of displaying a fresh-bravado. Giving the topic a bit of—for lack of a better word—freshness, NYC-native Loot shows off his swagger with an old-school hip-hop rhyme scheme. Assisting in this time-travel-to-the-‘80s is beat maker Hifonics, whose percussion work and classic samples turn the topic of Fresh from “just plain old” to “classic.” Familiar sounds and present appeal usually mix together well; hopefully Loot can hold true once his debut, Get You Some, rocks shelves later this year.
Hip-hop music has been claimed to go in circle, but I'm not seeing anything old school about this dude. Yeah, the scratched samples are there, but the production has all of today's current trends. Loot's skills on the mic says nothing original, how are Bathing Apes fresh if everyone in the hood is rocking bootlegs?
This is exactly what the title suggests, <i>fresh</i>. You're all being way to hard on Loot. (<b>Anyone see a resemblance to Lebron James, or is it just me?</b>)
This is wack as hell to me. The beat should have definitely stayed in the OLD SCHOOL. Loot doesn't have much lyrical skill at all. This should stay on the shelf...
Haha, okay... maybe I am off on the King James comparison. But RainaYaGurl, whatever I am smoking must be working... because you're a regular on this site
