Shane Eli - Haters
Artist: Shane Eli
Producer: Shane Eli
Album: DJBooth.net Presents: The Push
Label: Unsigned
After a streak of Booth-approved smashes like I’m a Winner and Taste of What’s to Come, it’s hard for me to imagine that fast-rising L.A. emcee/producer Shane Eli has many haters hoping for his downfall, but on his latest leak, the aptly-titled Haters, he proves once again that some people just can’t bear to witness success. Ironically, I wouldn’t be surprised if Haters becomes Eli’s most polarizing track to date, mostly due to the boundary pushing blend of rock guitars, sharply snapping hip-hop drums and spacey synths he melds together to craft the beat. On the vocal tip Eli flows over the track with a bouncing, stuttering rhyme scheme he uses to address any criticism of his genre-pushing head on: “Try to tell me where my box is….stay off that rock s**t/but I’m not rockin I roll with the punches exhaustive.” If they’re hating now, just imagine how worked up the naysayers are going to get when Eli’s upcoming album DJBooth.net Presents: The Push, hits our homepage in June.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to leave insightful feedback when everything I want to say is written by members of our talented writing team (props, Richard).
In terms of appeal, I agree that "Haters" will probably receive the most scorn from our listening community. Its different from everything Eli has offered up thus far and you know how people get when they hear different. Personally, I enjoyed Eli's past four Booth features more (the Haters angle is stale to me) so I cannot rate as high.

The guy has talent, that's a fact. Ive liked all his booth appearances and the same goes for this one. Awkward but bad ass production that my ears enjoyed. Plus he flows over it very nicely. Keep on bringing the good music man.

This guy continually week after week is rising on my charts as artists to ride. This may not be the best I've heard from lately but gets the job done. I don't necessarily "scorn' his efforts because it's a good song, just not as good as the others but definitely deserves to be listened to.

New premiere every week. Definitely different, but I actually like this to a degree. Couple of things could have been better such as the hook, but Shane had one hell of a flow. I admit, production wasn't the greatest, but Shane was still able to really come through and shine.The Push is really becoming a highly anticipated mixtape for me. We'll see if Shane can keep up his streak.

Eli had a good flow on this that went well with the production, but the hook wasn't great at all.

Well obviously Eli is doing something right because he's become a weekly featured artist at the Booth. Guitar sample works really really well on this.

How dare you Z! I wrote that intro. I demand you give me credit!
Kidding, obviously. I may not be in love with everything Eli does, but everytime a new song from him comes up in my inbox I can't wait to hear what he's cooked up now, and that's something I can only say of very few artists. Haters are going to hate regardless, but I've got nothing but love for this track.

The beat on this is different. Not really liking it. His flow was alright, nothing special. Hook wasn't that smooth either.

This isn't groundbreaking but neither is it a poor execution of every rapper's favorite topic to rap about. Hook is the weakest link here. Still, Rotation fa sho!
By now the featured joints (off "The Push") have proved themselves to be quite diverse, and I hope this is the case with its remaining tracks. |

An automatic deduction for the played out topic... Other than that, in rotation!

Im digging the creative production. The lyrics are solid as well. Shane Eli is impressing me with his diverse music influenced by many genres.

He did pretty good but compared to other artists of today, he wasn't all that. He should stick to his old stuff.

Thanks for the feedback on this one (and all of the others) Truthfully I agree with Z that the topic is a bit stale.
Usually with my songs I try to either take the production to a place I haven't been before, or the flow to a place I haven't been (or both). So the production was a it of an experiment and the hook was as well. I know a couple of my songs are gonna be "love it or hate it" joints, but sometimes it's worth the risk. Keep these comments coming, I love the feedback, and it's only gonna make me a better artist. |

I'm loving that Eli is trying something different with the production. This gets high marks from me just for the surprise factor alone.

Love Eli's fast to draggy delivery. His voice kept up with the beat and together they made a great balanced combination. That hook is horrible.
Kudos to you Eli for registering on DJ Booth commenting constructively on your track and taking criticism extremely well. Still new to the site myself but I haven't seen an artist do this. Impressive and Intriguing.. |
