Plies - Heard of Me

I think this song got a nice beat but plies not bringing it enough on this track for me. its average. In rotation but not something id chuck in favourites on my ipod if you feel me.

I've never been a fan of Plies. His character is lame to me. I don't care if he's really real or not. We'll never know. To me, a "real" cat wouldn't have to continue to tell us to overcompensate. Maybe he's not offered a magazine cover or certain media press is because he is not worthy of that. What's real? T.I. That's real. Kanye West. That's real. Lupe Fiasco. That's real. Real doesn't mean being gutter or gangsta. It means being true to yourself, NO MATTER WHAT. This track has some awesome production and truthfully, Plies is not bad on this. This is probably his best song he's dropped. I can really respect him as a person until he really proves he's REAL and not just as gimmick, but from a perspective of just rating his song, this is definitely worth 3 stars, if not 4.

man but thats what wrong.If you aint a real nigga you aint feeln him. That aint real michaelhannah. real is when you come up you dont forget the hood and change becuh the industry want them to( lke t.i and kanye) Real reconize real homie. AN NIGGAS THAT DONT LIKE THIS GET OFF HIS DICK DEN!

Plies annoys me more and more, but I gotta admit his music is catchy and fits into 2 categories: street and radio. If you haven't checked out those underground youtube videos, they are pretty funny and will give you a laugh. This one here is ok, the production is just average as well as the delivery and composition of the track. I still can't decide if Plies is "real" or not because he claims his street cred but puts out constant radio singles for 14 year old girls. This one gets an average 2 rating from me, not his best.

Real: existing or occurring as fact; actual rather than imaginary, ideal, or fictitious... Nope, sorry Str8OutaDalla, it says nothing here about forgetting the hood or changing due to the industry. So I gotta agree with michaelhannah. In addition, Kanye doesn't change with the industry, that's why he's creating 808's and Heartbreak; to be creative and do what he wants to do, not what the fans (and his label) want him to do. T.I. I admit has changed significantly but it's not because of the industry, its because he's bettered himself; something Plies can't seem to do. The whole point of making this music and making money was originally to get yourself out of the hood, so the hell would Plies want to keep it with him? If he wanted to do that he should've stayed underground. Not to mention, with tracks featuring Ne-Yo, The-Dream, T-Pain, Jamie Foxx, Akon, etc. He's obviously going for mainstream appeal; making Plies, even by ur definition, fake. I personally think he's a garbage rapper whose only getting some spotlight due to connections with DJ Khaled and the We The Best movement. Name me one good Plies metaphor, punchline, or anything. I've never heard one. As with the rest of his tracks, this song has a great beat. Too bad it wasn't sold to someone who could actually do something with it. :-\

Naw fam....no one has forgot about the hood. But no one really owes them anything either. T.I. for example....you know why the man got the gun charges? Cuz he's become who he is and the people in his hood that he's supposes to be "real" to don't care who he is, they just know he eating, and they wanna eat too. I don't respect that. Why go out of your way to "stay true" for people who don't respect you. I mean, it would be the same cat sticking him up for his chain and asking for an autograph at the same time. Real is staying true to yourself and not lying. If staying true to yourself is being a gangsta cuz that's what you were taught, then that's true...just as well as being a scholar or a activist or an eclectic person is real to someone who was destined and taught to be that. People confuse the term "real" with "hood" or "gangsta". In my experience, most people tooting their own horns about how "gangsta" in the term of "real" they are usually aren't really "real" to begin with.

That was my response to
Str8OutaDallas

PS. I am not a fan of DJ Khaled and I wouldn't call "We The Best" a movement but there are some sick rappers who associate with it: Lil Wayne, Jeezy, Ludacris now, Akon, T-Pain, even Nas and Game. Plies connections with Khaled get him spotlight amongst hip-hop's elite; a place he'd never be on his own.

DJ J, I definitely co-sign completely! That was the point I was trying to make about Kanye as well...following your heart and what's real to you...not a fabrication.

its ashame the flow got wasted with a 20 dollar beat i just ain't feelin the flow or the beat it really wack and i listen to plies

Just to help with the definition of real (pun intended), I’ll quote Chris Rock:
“Niggas like to keep it real… real DUMB!”
lol @ DJ J “Nope, sorry Str8OutaDalla, it says nothing here about forgetting the hood or changing due to the industry.”

Can't wait for the new album. You know me, I have always liked Plies, and I think that this song is a great addition to the two he has released already. 2/3 isn't bad. I'm looking forward to DA REALIST...

Production is suprisingly good on this one. Other than that boring song that just talks about realness aand one syllable rhymes.

this okay to early make athora album

uhhh geez...darn it. i thought for sure thiz wuz guna b a banga or classic or jus betta than thiz cuz plies didnt real-e bring it lyk he usual-e does thiz time. man, i hate to give thiz a 2 but plies didnt do it for me. but i still luv ya baby!!;)

This dude is whack.

plies can be as real as he wants but this song is wack

I actually kinda dig this one from a production standpoint. Real is just that, real. If you are not honest about who you are and how you feel then your realness is challenged by people. The fact that plies has somehow sparked this conversation makes this worth the listen.

i lov plies!!! this is mean!!!

LOOK DA DUDE AINT WACK.. DA DUDE WRITE SOME GOOD SONGS.. HE MAY SEEM FAKE CUS AS HARD AS DA DUDE IS.. DERE'S YOUTUNE OF THIS HOODLEM TALKIN PROPER ENGLISH.. AND WE DONT TALK PROPER ENGLISH IN DA HOOD OR N THA SOUTH.. BUT THE DUDE COO.. THE REALEST IS HIS NEW CD COMIN OUT IN DECEMBER.. HE GONA NEED MORE WORK CUS DIS IS OK BUT NOT NO WAIT GAINER FOR ALBUM SALES.. BETA GET UP ON DAT CREATINE AND PIK UP SUM FEATURES AND DIFFERENT BEATS.. SUMN NEW.. INSTED OF ALL FLORIDA

hay dadudekice whats youtube thing of him talkin real english?

(i said lov plies im not gay BTW over exagiration) this is a realy good song i lyk th way he has his cooky styles!!! an daym he know how to du his thing!!! drop thes songs to show hes still good on th mic thn do a number 1... but i must admit it gets a bit repeditive but hay i still lyk his style!!! so this it goin to b on mai play alot list!!!

An overall good song...I like the production and his flow, I believe this can go in rotation without problems ;)

dang he's becoming more and more lyrical. I thought he don't have any skills, i was wrong. For me The Real Testament was 2/5, definition of Real was 3/5, but i think and hope da realist will be 4/5. and no plies you are lyrical.

I am totally diggin' this street record. I love how Plies shoots videos for all these songs; more artists should follow suit. Good for him for releasing three albums in less than 2.5 years.

The song is average at best and as for the "real" arguement, I agree with being true to yourself and to others. A perfect example for me is you got dudes from the suburbs that would rock the backstreet boyz and @*#$! when they are in their homes but when they get in front of other people they wont admit they feel bsb..I would consider a kid from the burbz real if he came up my street bangin their songs cause he doesnt care what anyone thinks and is real to himself. It aint my thing but I dont hate on what others like either.

I didnt like Plies to begin with. But after ridin around wit my brother and all he would listen to after the Real Testament was Plies. He began to grow on me. Simple as this, if u listen to Plies u began to understand what u r goin to get from him, which is, a catchy beat and/or hook, and below avg lyrics and most importantly a song that u r able to feel or at least connect with. He is definitely not in the Top 10 best rappers alive, off the top of my head he aint in the top 25. And as far as him not being real because he talk proper english, WTF, the man jus said that he dropped outta college, so he had to have some type of schooling. If u niggas think that by him goin to school makes him less real, then yall got it @*#$! up. How u go hate on a nigga that try and better himself? But as far as this song goes, its aight, his flow is gettin smoother with each album..

He suks, song sucks, and just another dude with 0 lyrical credibility......... Artists like Sparks put him to shame. He makes money out his ears, and guys like Skyzoo are still underground. Its a joke.

Plies is iight, ain't in my top ten. This song alright to. In rotation for me.

i dont like where plies is going with the porductions. these beats dont seem to fit him. im not feelin these new songs.

LIKE THE CHORUS ANSD THE CONCEPT NOT A HUGE FAN OF PLIES BUT LIKE HIM ON THIS ONE

yo Micheal Hannah you better know Plies before you say hes not real...Plies was arrested in 2006 at a club for firing a gun in the club with his brother...he got the charge down to a "Possession of a Hand Gun Charge" and i also heard that Plies entourage (Certified Goons) opened fire on the crowd because his show was cut short 15 minutes for lil boosie...that i have no idea if its true. I also wouldnt say Kanyes real or lupee, their real to themselves sure but Plies and T.I. real is bein real gangstas thats what Plies is talkin bout....anyways another good song by plies lookin forward to his album

Plies cant live up to his producers hot beats song after song

I LUV you Plies but baby, this beat is not for you. Not bad tho... Not bad at all.

all MH is sayin is if your "real" why do u hav 2 constantly REMIND US?
stop sellin ya "realness"

Hey Plies...Quit!

messed up a good beat

Nice track and the song is straight to the point I like it and he is one of the best doing it right now

Speaks the truth.... Banger...

To me, it's nothing real about shooting guns. Actually, most punks use guns cuz that can't fight with fists or handle problems like grown men.

I disagree with all lames on here! Plies is talented when it comes to real reconize real! he spits reall sh*t, although i dont think he's as real as he talks! But he is my favorite rapper! LOVE THE SWAGG! and he keeps music comin bacc to bacc! Banger!

lol...you go up to anybody black flaggin or bloodin or crippin and say they aint grown men cuz they use gunz someones gonna end up 6 feet deep ya kno....this is growin on me get the rating up

this is aight

Rico an micha, ya'll aint gettn it huh? what the fuk t.i doin wit gunz if he livn the life-to quote plies"i'm neva gonna rap an say im doin sumthn im not doin now" so why t.i got gunz? Publicity,anplus plies was in college fo a while..so REAL is when you dont change or, like t.i talkin bout he gonna do this and that to Shawty L-O, HE AINT EVA FINNA DO THAT!SO HE FAKE! YOU WANNA HEAR REAL NIGGAS RAP LISTN TO REAL NIGGA MUSIK(TRAE N Z-RO-UGK-BIG TUCK &DSR;-PLIES-) not fake ass niggas like ( T.I, lil wayne, kanye west,Lupe fiasco,soulja boy))

@*#$! to me da'' @*#$! straight

Stick to the joints for the chicks...this is weak

yall some haters

i gota disagree with all o'yall..my baby daddy grew up a couple of houses next to plies..u cant judge sumbody until u know what really goes down in they area code..plies is a goon and got mad hataz cuz he made it before a lot of fort myers rappers like frank linim (mad props to u 2!!) he bout wut he be talkin about 0 and he CAN talk all dat @*#$! cuz he made it in 1 year..a lot of the lyrics in his songs got stories behind em like "got em hatin" which is da story behind his beef with frank l.
i @*#$! with plies!!! he got mad lyrical skills specially in his mixtapes and if his words dont make sense to ya then u ain been threw da street life yet..all plies is classic cuz he original and ain nobody else got his style

by da way plies is crippin so if u know anythan about gangs..hands is used within they click and gunz to get rid of da otha @*#$!
