Planet VI - Fame
Artist: Planet VI
Featuring: Maejor Ali
Producer: Cam Wallace
Album: The American Dream
Label: Unsigned
Messengers of peace and enlightenment from the Planet VI, Don’t Talk Much and Da Spokesman take their debut single as an opportunity to warn listeners about about one of the chief threats to harmony and balance in today’s society: the unchecked desire for worldly renown. Here, the atmospheric synths and delayed-handclap percussion of Cam Wallace set the mood for a meditation on the steep price of Fame—aka, ”the most deadliest drug known to man.” In lyrically acute verses, the U.S. Virgin Islands-bred brothers (and freestyle series alumni) lament the power of the limelight, and the big money that often comes with it, to turn friends into vicious competitors: “If you a crab in a bucket, you gon’ pull a n*gga down without thinking nothing of it.” Guest duties fall to RCA Records singer/songwriter/producer Bei Maejor, who delivers understated backing vocals throughout the record. Digging this up-and-coming twosome’s out-of-this-world sound? Then keep it locked for further news and tunes leading up to the release of Planet VI’s yet-unscheduled debut LP, The American Dream.

Sounds very mainstream, but it was catchy. I don't think I will have it on repeat though.

I agree with Max, this is certainly a mainstream-ready record. Solid ear candy and appealing to a broad demo.

I like the beat by Cam and the groove that it puts you in. Nice lyrical flow by Planet VI. This is some relaxing ride music right here. I'll throw it onto the MP3.

When did mainstream automatically have a negatory parallelism? You can have produced mainstream beats and still have a solid message...Lupe... I find people hate mainstream for all the wrong reasons, granted some artists deserved to be smacked in the face...wizzy... but hate on mainstream because record companies are trying to feed garbage, recycled, mindless lyrics on a heavily produced song; not because an artist gets a sick beat and spits fire over it. If an artist keeps true with his words, the mainstream sound should matter nil. These guys have a message, granted its one that has been beaten to death already, but its there, and @*#$! is it chill.
