Shane Eli - Let's Ride
Artist: Shane Eli
Featuring: Playboy Tre , Rittz
Producer: Shane Eli
Album: I Can Do Better
Label: Unsigned
Good things may not always come to those who wait – if the damn thing wasn’t on track for release (knock on wood), I’d make a Detox joke here – but Booth favorite Shane Eli isn’t about to leave his loyal fans high and dry. Though his sophomore full-length has been pushed back, the freestyle series alum (and recent DJBoothTV interviewee) is back with a little something to tide listeners over till its imminent arrival. Making its world premiere in the Booth, Let’s Ride finds the multi-talented Cali repper deploying a sample that discerning ears may recognize from Dee-1‘s Jay, 50 and Weezy (though Eli personally assured me that he flipped it first). A funky loop drawn from Marlena Shaw’s Where Can I Go sets the mood for braggadociously freaky bars from the headliner and two ATL-based collaborators; Playboy Tre details some auto-erotic activity (and drops an eminently appropriate UGK reference) on the middle, and White Jesus emcee Rittz brings the joint to a strong finish with some characteristically blistering staccato flows. Eli’s Booth-sponsored I Can Do Better LP has yet to receive a drop date, but don’t touch that dial – fans can expect that to change very soon.

We introduced Shane to our readers a year ago, next week Tuesday. Since then we've featured him 15 times. Before "Let's Ride" my favorite song of his was "Grey Area"... which was the first. The production, the sample choice, the featured guest selections, everything works and fits the title of the song perfectly.

I think this vibe suits Eli -Tre is ok, Rittz does what he does. The whole is better than the sum here.

Crazy beat, three of my favorite new artists. This is exactly what I expect from Eli. Someone needs to sign this guy already. Dope.

This is good music. Shane Eli and Rittz are coming with dope music lately. This is the jam to bump in your car stereo.

I think Shane is a better producer than MC, but I agree that this is the best song I've heard from him so far. He holds his own next to Tre and Rittz, which isnt that easy to do.
This track convinced me that the kids got long future in hip hop.

I don't think many would think of Shane as the kind of artist who can make a dope, Dirty South, let's f**k in the car banger. Looks like they'll have to start thinking differently.

Mother-f**kin' BANGER. This beat is insane. I can't believe this dude does it all himself. Raps better than most rappers and produces better than most producers. Tre and Rittz are @*#$! ill too.
Cant wait for I can do better. |

I'm still feeling Dee-1 on this beat over Shane Eli. Putting that aside and taking in that Shane stood shoulder to shoulder with Tre and Rittz...I gotta give him some spect. 3

This is most definitely is music to ride to. Shane, Tre and Rittz all held their own and kept the track flowing from the beginning to the end.
