Two of the most underrated street soldiers in hip-hop have joined forces in what might be considered a bioregional classic. Like fellow Brooklynites Biggie and Jay-Z, Papoose has witnessed several neighborhood shootouts (most of them involving his homies). Since rapper C-Murder has witnessed several as well (one in fact culminating in a pending second-degree murder retrial), Pap and the TRU soldier decided to Ride Out on a remix of a previous buzz track from the permanently-shelved, The Nacirema Dream. During a time in which representative of both the Northeast and Dirty South continue to call out each other’s form of Hip-Hop, Ride Out makes clear that the art form –regardless of region– is very much alive.
I never liked C-Murder but he's been holding his weight on the last two tracks I heard him rap on. He might have matured during his hiatus. Lately, I am really impressed by his performance. I haven't heard a complete album by Papoose--just tracks here and there; therefore, I cannot judge his talent. Many people believe that he has skills. This is definitely a killer-hit. This track was well-made!
It seems like Papoose forced a style he is not used to on this track; but he is really talented, but this is far from his best work. I think he does better on a different type of beat. I'll still listen to it again, cuz; well...it's papoose, but he is almost rocking like Eminem here. That's what he reminds me of...Its ok...
Blaze is right to a point, he sounds forced in a new style. But he's an artist. All artists gotta experiment. I think the beat is hotttt, but the original is better. Murder sounts outta place...
This was a step up from Doo-Doo, I tried to give a constructive observation as to why it stunk ( Production, Lyrics, Arrangement ect. ) But realy its just a waste of time to do so on this song, it was just lame, like a track from some Kats Demo who needs to get a real 9 to 5 Job
C sound more in place than Pap....I always been a fan of C and I most admit he is really stepping it up....Imma branch out and say he sound something like Pac on this one...but Pap do sound forced
