There are plenty of sights that evoke a sense of the sublime – you know, the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, the Aurora Borealis – but little can compare to the grandeur of the Ghetto Dance performed by one special shawty. On his latest single and first Booth feature, rising R&B star Range bears witness to this spectacular phenomenon, and emerges from the experience a changed man. Backed by his and heavyweight production team Stargate‘s stark, percussion-driven boardwork, he attempts to put his feelings into (Auto-Tuned) words: “She’s a five-star chick, a little five-star girl / She’s the only thing shining in this overcast world.” Equally entranced by the aforementioned female, Maybach general Rick Ross steps up to the mic to rhapsodize about her smooth moves (and his own freshness) on the back end. While this single’s strictly-for-the-club style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, those looking to get low will likely find that it suits their purposes perfectly. For more, check out Range’s No Strings LP, due out sometime this fall via Stargate/Roc Nation/Columbia.

The funny part is that I like every aspect of this record except for the part where Range sings "ghetto dance, ghetto ghetto dance." Is that bad?
Stargate disappoints on the production tip (I know, they only co-produced) considering their remarkable ability to craft hit singles with immensely catchy hooks over the top, but Range provides solid vocals. He doesn't show much of his - ready for it? - range, but this isn't the place for it (I am sure the album will be).

The vocals are nice in every aspect, but I'm really gettin tired of these type of tracks. This sounds every bit like a Justin Timberlake track. Maybe a few months ago this would've gone into rotation, but not today.

I feel as though I have heard this before. Production is pretty boring IMO. Range's vocals aren't a plus either. Had to stop myself from turning off the track multiple times. Hook followed the same path as the entire track. Very simple and un-exciting, although the sudden burst of energy in the production after Ross' verse wasn't too bad.
Ross does not deserve any acclaim or praise fro his five second solo. This track has more lows than it does highs. In the end, not very good at all. 1.5 |

Range's voice was pretty good, but the song itself was pretty boring. The main reason I didn't like it was because of him repeating "How she do that?", it got on my nerves a little bit.

Are you really asking a girl doing a ghetto dance what her dream is? Sounds like a love struck boy in a strip club wanting to wife the first stripper that gave him his first lapdance or perhaps a ghetto dance.
The bridge was the only exciting part of the song which isn't saying much because Range doesn't move much out of his comfort zone. What is Ross rapping about? He adds nothing to this song but his name and that isn't saying much. Seeing Roc Nation next to Range's label I was really hoping for something better. |

The beat didn't click on me, and Range's vocals/lyrics also didn't catch my attention. I expect this kind of sound from Sean Garrett. I'll pass.

On a record like this you have to make me nod my head when I listen, and it just doesn't happen here. I'm all for a stripped down beat, but this may just be a little too minimalistic for its own good.
Range shows he's got some vocal potential, let's see what else he got.

songwriting is just ok. melodies are cool. that "ghetto dance" hook is stupid. not really feeling this cheap beat, except of the strings section. I am going to erase my account here if this song is going to make noise on the charts.

The beat is lacking. Needs more energy to it. Range was decent at best. Rick Ross was Rick Ross. Nothing special.

Not my type of song really. Getting kinda sick of these repetitive songs all sound the same. Ross doesn't add anything to this either. Just a recycle track all the way through.

Boring production, felt like the beat never dropped. Kinda was feeling Ranges vibe though. Ross prob just wasted some lines on this.

WTF IS THISSSSSS.........................................
ok mabe its not lame i mean i like the usher influenced flow and wow the build up is crazy on this track i hate though how he goes back into the chorus which is lame in kills the momentum alot. give this song a second listen its actually pretty close to a banger if they lose that chorus and follow that build up in the beat to hypness after the chorus that they play with |

The beat is too simple and gets annoying after a while. With a little bit of adjustment, this could be pretty hot but I'm not feeling this current product. Rick Ross really didnt improve the song or make it worse. This one's pretty bad.

Rick Ross' guest 16 will ensure spins for some. Range's voice is the highlight of this. The production has it's moments, but it's not consistent throughout. I can't decide what I like less. The chorus, the production or Ross' contribution.

Poduction is really minimalistic, producers want range to do all the work, the problem is he does nothing to help out the track at all. And whats really good with the "chewing gun" sound effect on this? and Rick Rosss did nothing on this.
