In September of ‘08, the first two albums from the Geffen/Interscope umbrella label KonLive distribution were released; Kardinal Offishall‘s Not 4 Sale and Colby O’Donis‘s self-titled debut. Those who have heard either know that the very first Konvict signee (and most in-demand collaborator in the world), T-Pain, assisted on a single track off each of the projects. Next up for KLD is an artist who has been patiently waiting in the wings for almost two years. Unlike his labelmates, however, Ray Lavender has chosen his collabo record, Pop My Collar, as his next single. As the title implies, Ray and Teddy devote their vocals to spitting game (with plenty of autotuner involved). Despite the lack of a set release date for Lavender’s self-titled debut, Pop My Collar has the potential to gain enough spins, which should konvince the label execs to grab their calendars.
Smooth and laid back but the chorus aint all that. Nothing really catchy about this song just sound like a average T-Pain. He got hits but I doubt this will blow up on radio. Its iight
The only things I like here are the music and the beat, the rest sucks! Hook is annoying and I hate T-Pain, wish he could always sing without the voicebox (like in Propane)
Everytime Ray drops a new joint, I ask myself why his previous singles were not pushed harder. Since I cannot answer that question, as I am not his label, I will focus on "Pop My Collar." Production is solid, T-Pain never losses, but does this stand out enough amongst the crowd at radio? Hmmmmm.
I'm feelin this. It's smooth and somethin to chill wit. Gotta give it that extra star for T-Pain throwin "jambalaya" in there bc thats that food here in La.
i dunno bout thiz one...ray shoulda used hiz real voice and thiz iz tha only song i hate with tha voicebox. ray haz such a sex0c voice and tha voicebox actual-e ruined it thiz time. damn, ive luved most all of ray'z otha songz but thiz one- i gotta pass on...sorry baby:) but ill still give u a two cuz i am a huge fan of urz!!
It's a real laid back song, more a filler than single for sure. This song is more like T-Pain ft. Ray Lavender. It's still good for what it is, an easy listen.
