Mean Doe Green - The George Jeffersons
Producer: d.C. & Wes Avery
Album: Mean Doe Green
Label: IceWater Inc./iNDUSTRIAL WORKS
A Harlem native who worked as a janitor before “movin’ on up” to become a successful entrepreneur, the patriarch of the Jefferson family is living proof that, with enough ingenuity and drive, individuals of any color, creed or social position can achieve the American Dream. Or he would be if he weren’t, you know, a fictional character. Well aware that real life is a little more complicated than the sitcom version, Mean Doe Green is nonetheless determined to secure his piece of the piece of the pie, by hook and/or crook. New single The George Jeffersons finds beatsmiths d.C. and Wes Avery passing up the ‘70s TV series’ classic theme song in favor of something a little harder-nosed, cooking up a street-ready guitar/piano-loop backdrop for the freestyle series alum‘s gritty aspirational rhymes. After Green’s ambitious opener, he cedes the mic to fellow Sacramento native C Plus, who expresses his own lust for wealth and status (not to mention Telemundo models) in a verse that’s at the very least, worthy of a solid B+. As always, though, I’ll leave it to readers to assign the final grades. If you like what you’re hearing, plenty more freshness awaits on Mean Doe Green’s self-titled full-length, coming soon.

Bang.This.Song.
Love the energy, the production, and Green's flow. His vocals, his cadence and his on-the-mic attitude do it every time. Not a huge fan of C Plus, but his effort doesn't ruin the song in any way.

I wasn't very interested during this play. I don't think the flow and lyrics match the strong production.

Very strong production and Doe's lyrics are on point as always. I think this is the best track I've heard from D.C. Soul Plus Mind. Keep it up guys.

Lovin' the string of name drops i the first verse: Pam Anderson, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, and Conan all in the span of about two lines. Pretty good I'd say. I also love the rough sound.

Jay Z style of rap but with a gangsta flavor; salute. Give them what they came for over, and over again. Hot rap skills, and guitar hook is good. I say SALUTE to Mean Doe Green.
