With little money to pay big name producers, labels often defer to their artists’ deep pockets to help pay the bills. Always known to flaunt his wealth, rapper Rick Ross had no problem snatching up two major beat makers to assist with the Drought. As Ross raps about the usual, both Lil’ Jon & Mannie Fresh provide their respective talents on a low-bass beat and infectious hook. While it’s still unclear whether Drought will be a track on the up-coming Trilla, it is an excellent record to bump out of your car speakers. Trilla was recently pushed back from December 18th to February 19th.
It's cool to see Lil Jon and Mannie Fresh working together...too bad the colabo between the two happened about 2-3 years too late. Rick ross is the Shizzle right now, but even he can do way better than this. The Production is NOT where it needs to be for success on this track. I'm just not feeling it.
First let me say that Rick is a friend of mine. With that said, this won't help his album drop anytime soon. The reason for the push back is simple, Speedin' hasn't caught on and Def Jam used up major promo dollars on Jay-Z.
Am I going to have to be the one who points out they're sampling Tears for Fears song "Shout"? That song was terrible in the early-90s and it's terrible now.
Speedin' is an awesome song. IMO, better then a lot of the Jay-Z songs. Should've gotten some shine. polykween91; I KNOW. That song is going to be dooope. I heard the preview and from what I heard, it's freaking awesome. This on the other hand, is pretty damn weak. What happened, Ross?
"shout. shout. let it all out. These are the things i can live without, Come on, Im talkin to you, Come on!!
sad that most of the listeners on here dont know music as a whole and could never figure out that was the original hook from the 80's song they jacked it from...lol
and speedin wasn't that great, i just saw the vid today, and wondered why they spent all that cake on that video
