In 1989, Kwamé dropped his classic first single, The Rhythm, off his debut album, Kwamé the Boy Genius: Featuring A New Beginning. In commemoration of the song’s 20-year anniversary, the rapper-turned-producer has interpolated a portion of the song’s bassline into a remix of Raheem DeVaughn’s tentative fourth single, Friday (Shut The Club Down). The record, which also samples the Temptations’ My Girl, is by far DeVaughn’s boldest venture into club music to date. Though his current project, Love Behind The Melody, was first available this past January, DeVaughn has steadily released three singles from the project over the past twelve months, clearly paying no attention to a release calendar of any kind.
o wow...dont hate on me....I (that means I) dont like thiz song @ all. dont like tha beat, dont like hiz voice in thiz, and dont care about the lyricz since i dont like both of those thingz which wud alread-e mean i wud neva lis-n to thiz song again. so yeah, thiz song aint for ME.
i really dig this "my girl" sample...kwame worked his magic ear nicely...raheem's flow was really cool on this, only negative i spotted...for those who read my reviews you know what it is..yep the hook, i aint gonna lie though..the way he sings it, its catchy as f**k
This is different and I like it. Its got the old school rhyme/beat to it. The original was my favorite song off of his album. I could do without the remix but it's still aight. Original = Classic, this is 4.5
The production is really good and I liked the intro (same as you justokhall). But then the song disappointed me a bit... I mean it isn't horrible but after a while it gets annoying, at the end it's kinda repetitive. I must recognise it is original and also quite catchy! I don't think I would listen to this again, but I would put it in rotation
