Question? - Intoxicated ft. Eddie B
Artist: Question?
Producer: Jonathan "JR" Rotem
Album: Xanax The Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
While labeling Question a trailblazer might be a bit of a stretch, the former hustla-turned-techie-turned-rapper has certainly taken the path less traveled in his professional life. The San Antonio native delivers a winner with Intoxicated, a song about, well, paper chasing and getting twisted. Off his newly released mixtape, Xanax, Intoxicated is carried by Question’s powerful delivery, a surprisingly catchy hook sung by fellow San Antonian, Eddie B., and producer J.R. Rotem’s club-ready production (Certified, anyone?). Lyrically, Question manages to convey a heartfelt defense of his drug-addled past, resulting in an intensely personal street anthem. Question might be able to shoot a gun, push for profit, and fix your computer, but it’s clear that his true calling is on the mic.

Here's Rotem again!! He's definitely comin up in the producing game! but This song is alright, Rotation will do for now, but i would just listen to it for the beat and the hook is Great to!, Mixtape might go somewhere.. have to see what else he throws out down

Agreed with everyone above...Rotem is doin his thing lately. As far as this rapper, just another average dude tryin to make it big. Good track to get started, but the production is what carries Question on here for the most part.

I don't agree with the beat bein a banger. It sounds to much like certified. This is generic = garbage. However question is a cool wordsmith so this is cool!

JR is getting his dough and I like that fact that Question's strongest quality is his delivery rather than his lyrics. Sometimes rappers can sound so appealing simply because of the fact that they include so much passion in their delivery.

I don't know about this one. What was ? doing before rapping? He looks like a cross between Nick Lahey and Ben Rothlisberger. I cannot based my opinion on one song but this is not a great start for this guy. I might have to sample a few more tracks. Anyhow, this is doodoo! I think this is a washout JR Rotem beat. It's a mixtape that's why.

He puts a lot of force and energy into his delivery, which makes him look a lot better. It helps make up for crappy lyrics, because it emphasives even the silliest of lines.

one star for the "artists" featured on the song.... the beat was worthy of some big names, or at least more skilled singers...

Wow, everyone is coming down WAY too hard on Question. If you are going to say his flow is "whack" or worse, judge him by the promo photo above, explain why in your feedback. An artist cannot read "whack" or "doodoo" and use that to help themselves. Constructive criticisms my people!

Sorry DJ Z. I will give you my honest opinion about Question. First, he doesn't sound natural on this track, it sounds like he's forcing his lyrics. If he was trying to go for that rugged style it didn't work. Secondly, his delivery is inconsistent. His tone is all over the place and not continuous throughout the whole track. If he is playing off the title of the track "intoxicated" then it might work, but for some reason I don't think that was what he was going for. His voice doesn't stand out--it's forgettable. Listen to his flow "salty like sodium," "ballin' in the park, ballin' in the dark, I got ballin' in my heart," "the alcohol content level in my blood almost outweigh the level of the bud." In my opinion, if you want to scintillate as a rapper you need to "bring the goods." Like I said before, I need to hear more tracks by Question because this did not make a good first impression. I am criticizing him based on his flow, swagger, delivery, overall song content, and not his appearance. I hope this clarifies my previous comment. I am here for you DJ Z. I am not a music critic, I am a music lover.

Wait a minute; are you really the rapper Question posting?!? The CRASHING DOWN (ft. One Republic) architect, QUESTION?! ;) Damn!! I appreciate your feedback. When will you share Crashing Down with the DjBooth community and end the skepticism?! Man, that track is crazy: shows storytelling ability, good delivery, lyricism, remarkable production (great featuring)… I mean, that should be your single man. I was already biased when I heard this! :p This is a good track, but it lacks that something to be a real banger, maybe cuz the chorus is kinda uninspired. On the other hand, his delivery is full of swagger (but could be more appealing), we can actually understand what he’s sayin, which is a plus! And what he spits is straightforward content, well put together.

It has nothing to do with hating. I am unfamiliar with your work. I am rating the artist "Question" of one song. I am not feeling this track. If you have a banger then I will call it a banger regardless of your name, musicianship, or rap status. You might be a great artist but I didn't see it in this song. Keep making music and do what you love best. I'll be here waiting for that banger.

jesavail02....i wasnt calling you a HATER...i actually, in hindsight, agree with alot of what you said....i never considered this song a banger, not even close...im not the one who posted this particular song.....though the nick lachey/ ben rothlisberger line did sting a bit (LOL).....
this song to me was a reach...i tried to capture something, that i wasnt 100% percent comfortable with(THE BEAT)...and it came out half ass in my opinion.... its all good.... as far CRASHING DOWN...ill send to DJ Z and see if he will post it....appreciate the love |

Question, I just checked your myspace page and I think you were holding out on us. My favorite track was "Dance Like a White Boy" I am feeling the production, beat, and flow--you better make a good video out of that track. It's a friendly song and you can do so much out of it. I believe if you make a silly video with a crazy dance you might have something good--it would be original. In terms of delivery and style I thought "Just Look" best suited your voice. Until next time Question! One of my mentors told me "always bring your best," so keep doing your best and nothing less.
