While Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D. Music has a vast roster of artists (mostly from Chicago, might I add), only three have gotten to release an album off the label: Grammy-winners Common and John Legend, and longtime Tribe Called Quest collaborator, Consequence. As other signees, who include GLC, Fonzworth Bentley, and Tony Williams, await their time to shine, a newcomer has stepped to the front of the line. Fed up with rappers who “make it rain,” Chi-Town’s Really Doe looks to outdo them (in efficiency, anyway) by merely swiping his new single, Plastic. Though Doe is a main stage rookie, his credit limit must be substantial as Kanye contributes both a verse and solid production. So budget well consumers; Doe’s First Impression drops later this year.
Its different and I understand how some rappers want to be more lyrical instead of the ordinary rapper(mostly the south). But this follows the stereotypical lyrical rapper. Good Lyrics + Bad beat
I appreciate the effort taken, but 'Really Doe' makes a mediocre impression to me. Kanye is different on this track, but I would say he overshadowed Really Doe. I'm a Kanye fan, but I personally never really thought he had a really good flow, but this track is making me think otherwise. Beat is pretty good, sounds different, but not special (if you know what I mean).
The production is nasty! Loved it after the first 2 seconds. Kanye's verse snapped as always. I've heard some of Really Doe's earlier work. He's okay. He'll have to grow on me. This isn't a memorable debut. If it was a full Kanye song, where he was doing all the verses, I would give it 5. Since Doe's verses was okay...it goes into rotation.
This is just a taste of what Really Doe has to offer. I am completely bias, as I am from Chicago, but if you trust our selection at DJBooth... know that we have heard plenty from this man and he's got 'it.'
Im gonna need to here more from him.......but if he a new dude I doubt he got much on whatever card he swiping, lol...after Kanye ripped it dude was ok but was outshined
yeah typical intellectual lyricist...solid lyrics but the beat doesnt do it justice...is it me or are kanye's beats only hot when their HIS tracks? he gives his throwaways to dudes like this guy!
“You local retard, I’m the king of the world so the king of your city by
default” Kanye is so much better than the average rapper it’s ridiculous
“You local retard, I’m the
king of the world so the king of your city by default” Kanye is so much better than the average rapper it’s ridiculous! He
outshines almost anyone, so it’s a risky move to feature him (or to challenge
him… but 50 didn’t know that, haha). His
flow here is mesmerizing; he’s a genius with the words,
love how he divides them, uses interjections and goes colloquial. Really Doe
wasn’t bad, it's a shame the hook is that poor! Ye! 3*
