Sarah Green - Dirty Rose
Artist: Sarah Green
Featuring: Lupe Fiasco
Producer: Bryce Wilson
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: 1st & 15th
Have you ever felt like you just don’t fit in? Like you’re beautiful on the inside, but your true beauty is overlooked and you’re left to sit at the loser table at lunch while the football jocks laugh at you? Then you’ve probably been treated like what Sarah Green would call a Dirty Rose, and on her Booth debut feature, she says that’s just what she feels like in the music industry. Fortunately our dear friend Lupe Fiasco came to her rescue, and after being featured on several tracks on Lupe’s debut and sophomore albums, Sarah is finally ready to break out on her own. On the production side Dirty Rose features a simple but funky Bryce Wilson-provided electric guitar beat and some equally simple soul whining (you’ll see what I mean), while vocally Lupe spits a verse that neither helps nor harms the song, allowing Sarah to fittingly remain the star of the show as she lays down some enormously impressive vocals. Dirty Rose will be found on Sarah’s forthcoming yet currently untitled album. Keep an eye out for updates.

It is honestly no wonder that Lupe only kept Sarah when he cleaned house at FNF and let go of his entire artist roster. The girl has talent and a unique image to match. Hopefully, while he waits for his new album to see the light of day, Lupe spends all his time (and resources) pushing Ms. Green and her considerable talents.

This seems like a hard piece of production to spit some nice R&B vocals over, but Green does a decent job. I does sound a bit strange, though. Lupe sounds right at home over the production, though, it sound's more like a track to spit some sick wordplay over. It is still a pretty good track.

I agree that this production is tough for her though. I wanted to wait til I saw other comments on this to get a true vibe of it. If this is what Lupe needs to do to get FnF rolling again then go full board with it.

Sarah Green has unique talent. I don't think this production fits her, but I can definitely see her breaking into a solo, mainstream career. Lupe did well with his verse. It was almost cruise-control Lupe, but that's still better than most of hip-hop.

The beat wasn't easy to work, but Ms.Green did a decent job.
Lupe as usual is good. So even if I don't really feel that track, I must admit that it's not bad at all. |

The song wasn’t what I was expecting and didn’t really bang as hard, but still solid.

I....motherfing....loved this. Keeping Sarah was the smartest move he's made in a minute.
And it looks like I have to disagree with the general consensus. That Lupe verse is completely forgettable by his standards, but I thought Sarah's voice worked perfectly here. More than just strong vocals, she's got a real charisma and personality that shines on cuts like this. Dopeness. On, and to answers XuUP17's questions, I heard Gemstone's given up hip-hop and is now pursuing gospel music. Seriously. Can anyone confirm?

@Nathan S. Got curious about the Gemstone status and everywhere on the web says gospel. http://fnfarmy.lupefiasco.com/group/gemstones/forum/topics/gemstones-has-gone-gospel and wikipedia lists gospel music also.

That's odd to hear about Gem, he was going by Demarco Castle when he was on this Dow Jonez cut featuring Drake I got a couple months back.
Me and Nathan already talked about Lupe and his label choices, but I agree with Sarah Green. I remember one of the leftovers from "The Cool", which was "If You Let Me Know" featuring Verbal. Man I loved her voice on that record. This goes hard in the mfin' paint (c. Waka Flocka). |

Good look DArchie. I was kinda depressed that Gemstones was done rapping. Testimony was a great tape. I can't wait for this street album he has coming.
With all this Gemstones conversation, I've been giving Sarah Green a few more listens. Its growing on my for sure |

not loving it but decent. Not a single, but is a good cut. She has great talent and will be nice to see more time (and money) into her.

The production was weird. Lupe was subpar but Sarah was the highlight here.
