Red Cafe - So Easy (Remix)
Artist: Red Cafe
Producer: Big Dev
Album: Transition to Power (Street Album)
Label: Konvict/Bad Boy/Interscope
Red Cafe is arguably one of the game’s best and brightest untapped talents. While unknowing listeners may clump him in with fellow Northeast artists Swizz Beatz and Ron Browz, Cafe continues to make haters sick; for him making music is just So Easy. On the remix of this previously-featured record, producer Big Dev flips an Anita Baker riff and adds some punchy drums, while Cafe, endorsed by Gucci, makes his ascension to the throne in style. With a debonair flair that has grown considerably over the last few years, Red’s verses are both lucid and engaging – a rare combination in hip hop. On January 1, Red will drop his new street album, Transition to Power, a clear-cut sign that this Konvict Muzik emcee knows exactly what he is doing.

Yeah. I love Red, but this isn't his style. This beat needs Skatey P or Snoop on it.
Hell I could even hear 50 cent singing on the hook Okay maybe not that much. Good hit. I'd listen to it again. 2.8 |

Never a big fan of him and I think theres too much hype on this guy. He aint all that good and this song aint getting my attention. The lyrics is average and the production is so dull. 2 stars

This remix is much better than the original version we featured. Lots of credit goes to Big Dev on the production tip, I really like the new vibe. It might be too slow for some, but I enjoy artists whose flow sounds good over a variety of BPMs.
Red has been on my industry radar for nearly 7 years... I am looking forward to his new street album. |

MAN! I was digging the sample and production off the top! I NEED THIS BEAT! I've never been a fan of Red Cafe...so I would prefer to hear one of my favorite emcees on this. But Red did his thing on this though...definitely. I can't hate. Big Dev is the one who shines on here though. Sorry you don't like this WOW....this is some really good chill, soulful music. I could vibe out and relax to the beat alone.

Oh first thing I notice is that nice soulful beat. Dev made this worth listening. Not a fan of Rad though. His voice does not fit with the beat. Maybe a better artist or a good R&B artist can put this beat to use. I might have to get an instrumental version of this. Besides his voice not fitting the track he is putting down some nice bars, but its not consistant. Some bars are nice then you got some that sound like crap. So by the beat alone it makes it a 3.

some of yall dont even give music a chance...just because your unfamiliar with the artist or because it has a low rating you automatically hate..im mean its in your nature i guess...its about the content, do you even know what the song is a bout? You know what ITS NOT EVEN ABOUT THAT EITHER..the song is called SO EASY so of course its gonna be laid back and good to smoke a swisha to..but i guess you dont appreciate that kind of stuff. If a rapper is low profile yall are like HELL NO. but if a rapper has a song that makes a good ring tone you'd worship them. This isnt a banger but its not garbage either

im really feelin the laid back beat on this one. plus, Red cafe can rhyme. I could feel Freeway throwin down a verse on this track for some reason. Am i the only one that thinks that he sounds like Obie Trice?

All of ya haters is stupid he reppin Anita Baker in the background and keep it simple so ya haters can doubt when he go hard. thats why the hook is called so easy not so hard f'nd idiots. I'm not a fan but i can hear when someone is original using at that the hook of caught in a rapture by Anita Baker but wait its okay for 50 cent to take I get money the MC milk (no homo). Ya peeps amaze me especially i dont do the blogging thing but I had to hold Red Cafe down on this one. Its just some shit you can tell he was playing with in the studio for you idiots who never been in one like ya are the experts. LOL ya kill me
