O'Neal McKnight - Something Bout Tonight
Artist: O'Neal McKnight
Featuring: Fonzworth Bentley
Producer: Nelly Protools
Album: Promo Single
Label: E1
There are certain events so rare that, when they occur, it’s always a special occasion: blue moons, total eclipses, O’Neal McKnight wanting to drink, dance and enjoy the company of a fine female… you know, on second thought, that last one doesn’t really fit. Nonetheless, on his latest promo single, the N.Y.C.-based singer informs a woman he’s got his eye on that there’s simply Something Bout Tonight that’s drawing him towards her. Over Nelly Protools’ energetic, synth-banging club boardwork, McKnight delivers one persuasive sales pitch (“Let’s go to my crib and see how I live: ain’t got no kids, no crazy baby-mama drama…”), complete with a testimonial from hip-hop’s foremost fop; on the back end, Mr. Bentley makes use of the ever-popular high-school analogy, advising a shawty to steer clear of the freshmen and come hang with a “super senior.” Tonight isn’t slated to appear on any forthcoming project, but O’Neal McKnight fans can hear a new, exclusive track by the singer on DJBooth’s own Haiti aid mixtape, Rhymes & Rhythm for Relief.

It took a few listens for me to decide if (and how much) I liked this record. To start, I was turned off by the production and the auto-tuned vocals. However, after a few listens (and a raising of the volume in the studio), I decided that from a surface level (based on its club appeal) approach it works.
Sidebar: Bentley makes me laugh, but not in a good way.

Different song and style, decent song though. I was thinking a 3 but ill give it a 4 for the fact that it's unique.

The production on this one is fantastic. Easily would have been a five star track for me without the auto-tune, and Bently at the end is great. I'm trying to decide if this will get rid of my image of Bently floating from the sky with an umbrella.

this fool keeps using autotune. doesn't he realize that his last singles he put out didn't do shiat for him!? maybe he should switch it up next time and abstain from gimmick? just an idea...

Not really feeling it. But I give him credit for going into a booth and recording because that isn't a joke.

OOOH wow...This beat is all over the place. The production is really lacking here in my opinion. This song just sounds forced and the Chorus sounds cheesy. Garbage to me...

Let's put this in the "not a bad track but personally not my thing" category, although Farnsworth was more entertaining than I thought. Still, in the end, I just can't get with this.

O'Neal McKnight's contribution to "Rhymes & Rhythm For Relief" showed that he can change his style and get it right. Perhaps he's better than he showed here, but I doubt it.
If my memory serves me right, this is like his third or fourth feature on Booth with the exact same formula, which further, are same tired hamburger/formula we’ve already heard/eaten a thousand times. |

I wasn't sure about this beat when it first started, but this wasn't too bad. It was catchy and O'Neal didn't sound bad. I really was not feeling the slowed up flow of Bentley though. 2.5 I'll round up though.

Generic, Amatuer, Mediocre, Formulaic, everyone take note: this is what a song should NOT be.
