Pac Div - Shut Up ft. The Cool Kids
Artist: Pac Div
Producer: Swiff D
Album: PAC DIV EP
Label: The Div/RBC Records
Back in February of ‘08, Pacific Division received mixed reviews for their first Booth feature—though Fat Boys’ unconventional subject matter and sparse beat appealed to quite a few underground heads, some simply didn’t know what to make of them. Now, after more than a year, Like, Mibbs, and BeYoung are back, and, if this track is any indication, they’ve taken their uniquely stark style to the next level. Requesting listeners kindly Shut Up and focus on the music, the trio come with rhymes worthy of your undivided attention (“Knucklehead n*ggas with the bass in the trunk/ ‘bout to bubble like peroxide layin’ in a cut” may be the dopest lyric I’ve heard all day) over an odd but compelling instrumental; booming percussion paired with a sound that brings to mind wind rushing through an empty chasm make up the bulk of Swiff D‘s sparse, spacious production. Shut Up can be found on the trio’s PAC DIV EP, available now.

I'm really lovin these Cali groups who are strayin away from that classic west coast sound for a more "hipster" sound. (i.e., Pac Div and U-N-I)
I been waitin for a track from these dudes that made me wanna nod my head like "Fat Boys 08" did. I love the production even though it is a lil thin, and the "shut up" sample is tight on the hook. I love the vibe that all three rappers bring, all three have some tight flows/vocals and some nice wordplay. These dudes sound perfect over this type of production. Oh, I also really like the sound effects when he talks about the cell phone... |

They production sounds really similar to the Cool Kids but Pac Div actually has solid flow and lyrics. The beat is flames with that percussion and I like the creativity in the hook. Fresh lyrics and knocking beat!

Everyone around me hates me right now - why? I played this one on repeat for a good hour today while checking e-mails. What? What was that? Sorry, didn't hear you. "Shut Up!"

This track isn't very catchy, but I LOVE the beat and his flow is excellent. I find that it perfectly fits the beat...in rotation, but could grow on me ;)

The song is ok if it's underground but its on a major label. So I'll be surprise if their albums sell more than 150k copies.

This is a sick song. I would say Banger. But this shouldn't be hear for a while, think it's a little early for this.
