In the heart of the 90’s, labels would throw $500k at a producer and $250k at a singer in order to provide their feature artist with the best possible musical accompaniment. As we have documented, via interviews with Cool & Dre and Swizz Beatz, production credits simply don’t earn what they once did. Although we can’t confirm or deny the same for guest singers, labels clearly must be cutting back; now more than ever before, rappers are singing their own hooks and bridges. Case in point: Petey Pablo. The man who helped put North Carolina on the map is back with his new single, Shawty Got Her Eyes On Me, in which he raps three verses and does the singing. While his new album, Diary of Mine, will likely drop before the end of 2008, it is unknown when rappers will stop singing.
He sung for most of the song! Leave it to the likes of Usher please. Was definitely too distracted by the poor singing to pay attention to anything else.
Yeah I think the new trend is for the artist to sing thier own hooks, but using the voice box. I can't really tell if Petey is using it here, but the ad libs on the hook sound like it. Ok, so Petey is no Chamillionaire when it comes to rapping/singing, but I think he did pretty well.
Oh gosh! Why is everyone thinking they can pick up the T-Pain machine (Zapp Roger); and sing good. This isn't that bad actually after listening to it for a minute. I haven't seen petey in a while; it might just be time for him to come back now...I wouldn't hate it...The beat here is good!
I like the concept of this song and the words but,! I wish that petey did it in his usual rougher style.
<P>
otherwise he would have been better off letting a R&B artist like Chris brown strain his vocal cords instead!
It took Petey awhile to grow on me; with all that said, he has a unique voice, but singing is not his strong suit. This song has the potential to be a club mixer. I guess... the voice synthesizer is the best thing since the Chicken McNugget.
STOP WIT THE VOICEBOX!!!!!!!!! people that dont even need it are usin it... that thing is more of a fad than people dressin and partyin like rockstars...
Come on people, this isn't that bad. I kinda like it. I could almost see this getting some radio play. Petey Pablo used to be the @*#$!. What happened.
i love this song i couldnt wait for it to get on this site. not to mention i had a good feeling it'd get a lot of 1 and 2 stars.
but i like this song from start to finish.
it sucks that they cant get someone decent to sing the hook...dont they know it hurts the song? o well its an ok i guess...i cant hate on petey pablo tho...its a good effort haha
