Mann - Kickin It Wit the Lingo
Featuring: Shawn Chrystopher , Skeme
Producer: J. Hawk
Album: Near Life Experience Mixtape
Label: Mercury/IDJMG
Back in August of ‘09, Mann succeeded where quite a few other artists had failed, earning widespread Booth acclaim for a tuneful track revolving around the trendy topic of Text messaging. The L.A. native’s clearly got a knack for catchy, radio-ready jams, but can the 18-year-old emcee truly rock the mic without the help of a R&B-pop hook? On new mixtape leak Kickin’ It Wit the Lingo, Mann answers that question once and for all, showcasing his “crispy as a Pringle” style over a sparse, percussion-driven beat by J. Hawk. After the headliner spits his swagger-drenched opener, Booth newcomer Skeme jumps on board to stunt his way through verse two, and reader favorite Shawn Chrystopher closes the track on a strong note, flaunting his female appeal and name-dropping Tom Sawyer on the back end. So, did Mann succeed in creating a track as addictive as the aforementioned chip brand? If you think so, you can look forward to popping open Mann’s new Near-Life Experience mixtape next Monday, April 12.

This oozes West Coast. It kinda reminds me of the direction that the New Boyz were taking their debut offering, but with a little more street appeal (and a little less pop - sorry, Ray J). Never heard of Skeme before tonight and his middle verse was really dope. Looking forward to hearing this new mixtape from Mann. Will he show us he is a boy in the game? Or a Mann (sorry, I know that was bad.)

Actually reminded me more of something the Cool Kids would do (at least production wise). Personally I'll take a pass, but I could see the young heads loving this.
"I'm bringing macking back in rap." I wasn't aware it ever left?

Both beat and hook ain't my style, though, lyrically it has it’s moments but nothing out of the ordinary. Okay at very best.

A very new rap to it. I love the instrumental on this song. As for the lyrics they were kind of annoying. But the instrumentals were awesome especially the drum breaks but "kickin it with the lingo " really got on my nerves which is why I am giving it an ok
