Madcon - Beggin'
Artist: Madcon
Producer: 3Elementz
Album: So Dark the Con of Man
Label: Icon Recordings/Sony Music
Like Adam Tensta and Henok Achido, hip-hop duo Madcon comes from Scandanavia (while Tensta and Achido come from Sweden, Madcon hails from Norway). However, the duo’s story can be better compared to that of the king of New Zealand hip-hop, Savage: already heavyweights in their native country, they recently got snagged by Universal Republic for a worldwide re-release of their 2007 sophomore album, So Dark the Con of Man. Also like Savage, Madcon’s first single under UR had already hit #1 in their native country as well as France (and made the Top 10 in five other European nations). That single was a cover version of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons’ 1967 hit, Beggin’, with production by 3Elementz, who maintains the classic rock-n-roll sound of the original. Now that Beggin’ has arrived stateside, there’s no question that Madcon will open the ears of countless potential fans. If they feel a remix is necessary, however, we can only hope they don’t give Soulja Boy the guest verse.

O my gosh what the heck is this?? Well i know one thing, it's garbage to me. The beat is sooo annoying and so are their voices/flow/rapping- everything that they did. Pass.

Are these guys in their halloween costumes? This ones a little weird for me. I love the creativity and how it's different, but I can't jump on this bandwagon just yet. They come off a little too much as a Cee-Lo impersonators, that's why I actually wouldn't call their stuff original. This one can go in rotation though, still has a smooth chill vibe to it with a little bit of energy.

WOW:), this is a cover of a rock-n-roll classic!
I'm trying to get used to the fact that you don't like creative music...but it's getting harder by the moment. This is true music that everyone can love. |

Before I hear this song. That outkast bs gotta stop, just because you got a two man crew doesn't mean that you gotta snatch Kast "swag". (Sorry had to use that horrible word again.) This actually sounds really good.

BDF44, I don't neccesarily understand the Outkast comparison. Are you saying that NO ONE ELSE can dress or have an eclectic style since Dre & Big Boi already did it? Interesting.
But anyways, I really liked the joint. It was something different and refreshing to the ears. Let’s give something other than Plies or S.Beezy a chance people! |

I’m proud to see this on the Booth, since I suggested the song (so WOW:), I’m particularly “mad” at you in this case :p watch the slaps)… good to see you consider the suggestions Z!
As it was pointed out already, this has a Gnarls Barkley feel to it… that’s GOOD! Production keeps the rock n’ roll feel, but adds fresh percussion elements… GOOD! The dynamic flow matches the beat perfectly resulting in an energetic song… GOOD! This song was a classic already and they complemented it well, giving young people a chance to know it… GOOD! PS: That bass line is vicious! |

Not at all. I'm sayin the these rap duo types that seem to think they need to snatch dre and big boi's style to make it. Check the pimp outfit! Thats Big boi. Peep the seventies hippi get up with the peace sign throw up. That Dre circa 2001.

Been listening to this one for about a month now. This one is just making its way to the US, so that's probably the reason for the delay people. No worries tho, this one has a great vibe to it, lots of energy. Good looks on this one M.Burmy

@ croatia - I have traveled internationally THREE times in the last year. I won't name any countries, but some people are still bumping 50's debut album.
So, please, don't throw around statements that make us look like we are behind the curve...

I've been listening to this track since the Summer. And I still think it's hot as hell. The production is awesome, and the guys do a very nice job on it. I think it's gonna be a big hit here pretty damn soon. I've already heard this track in a commercial. 5 stars baby, this is some hot shit.

All i can say is that, i'd rather listen to this than half of the stuff out there now days. Is original, is different, is refreshing and I'm jammin to it. You dont like it, there aint nothing wrong with that, we all have different taste. 5 Stars for me as a classic seeing it has broken ear waves from the east to the west north and south of the world. From Botswana to Denmark and Japan to the states. Oh BTW.. Do sum research on Madcon if you think they tried to snatch any kind of Style, that goes to WOW :)
