Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Crew Cuts
Artist: Macklemore x Ryan Lewis
Producer: Ryan Lewis
Album: VS. EP
Label: Unsigned
Opinion was divided over Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ last offering, Otherside, a joint dedicated to cutting down the “drugs make you more creative” myth, but I’d be surprised if the Booth responds to their latest song Crew Cuts with the same kind of love ‘em or hate ‘em comments. A track built around a guitar riff sample and Run DMC-esque percussion - you can thank producer Ryan Lewis for that - Crew Cuts lyrically features Macklemore and his partner in rhyme Xperience waxing nostalgic about a time when British Knights were the ish, people still played tapes and, of course, fades and crew cuts were the hairstyles of choice. It may not be revolutionary hip-hop, but with a highly entertaining theme (for 80’s babies at least), quality production and solid rhymes, it’s hard not to at least enjoy Crew Cuts. For more hair-raising hip-hop (I apologize, that was a terrible pun) be sure to check out Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ VS. EP, available now.

Their first Booth feature nabbed a 4-bagger from me and this is just as good. Excellent production and both emcees bring it. I'm an early 80s baby so this is a welcome walk down Memory Lane.

I knew this one would get a better response. Good beat, good lyrics, it's not a classic, but I don't know what more you could want from a track. Well done sirs, well done.

Nice lyrics and hard delivery over guitar riffs and hard-hitting drums... Rotation-Stuff.

LeWy makes a good point. It sounds very busy. Almost distracts me from the verses, which is a shame, because they're good to say the least.
I have to add a star for the reference to AC/DC. I respect anyone who acknowledges the classics. |

R U SERIOUS??? I had to chuckle the minute I heard that bass come in. I knew it was going to b fresh as lettuce on a Micky D salad. What?? I live in the suburbs. Every once n a while you get surprised by the sound cuz it just doesn't seem to be what the artist represents. I love it when that happens. Check it: homeboi said "spandex was in fashion back then and bad chicks had tracks in that lasted". LOL!! WTF??? Somebody musta dated a sista.
