The Greater Good - I'm in Love
Artist: The Greater Good
Producer: DJ Finyl
Album: The Goodness EP
Label: Flo Deep Music Group, LLC
Hip-hop has a long tradition of producer/emcee combos (ex. Gangstarr) and tracks that use women as a metaphor for a larger topic (ex. Common’s Used to Love H.E.R.), and impressively The Perfect Formula - making their DJBooth debut today – combine both with their new single I’m in Love. Comprised of Booth-approved lyricist Marion Write and producer DJ Finyl, here Perfect Formula has brought along newcomers Verbal E and Fame for some dope, reference-heavy rhymes over Finyl’s soulful beat that draw a direct line between their troubled relationships with women and their native Las Vegas: “Give me the cold shoulder but she’s still too hot / she even had the nerve to tell me that she killed Tupac.” I’ll give you a minute to figure out that line…yeah, there you go. Told you the metaphors were heavy. Do Marion Write and DJ Finyl have the perfect formula for DJBooth success? Are people finally tired of my terrible puns? We’ll find out shortly. Get to commenting people.

Emcees and producers decide to create projects together all the time, but sometimes this decision backfires. In a limited collabo an artist can sound dope over one production style; an entire album over the same production style? Ehhhh, not so much. While I don't know what the entire Perfect Formula project will sound like, "I'm In Love" is a great start. Old soul samples always are a great start, and this ends on a great note.

Yo, do me a favor and listen to this like two or three times in a row. I guarantee you at least half the references slip by after the first listen. Get your Vegas mindset on and lines like "rock em till they delusional and seein a Mirage" take on a whole new meaning. Point is, dopeness. Sometimes it really is that simple.

“Give me the cold shoulder but she’s still too hot / she even had the nerve to tell me that she killed Tupac.” What?! Man, this line alone kills.

One line alone doesnt kill the song simply because there are so many that are over-heard, making it hard too narrow it down too just one. I appreciate the vibe of the song, and how lyrically they're actually talking about something they truly appear too know.
Dope song. Cool little vibe. Highly recommended. |

I wish they put as much effort production wise on track as they did on the hook, because right up until the hook hit its just a male vocal humming. And I've never elevated a song to rotation jus because the hook was the highlight and there was nothing else to talk about, and I wont start now.

Though beat could've used some more flava during verses, but its meticulously pieced-together rhymes by Rappers and a nice hook, which entices the listener to revisit it. Rotation fa sho!
