Over the past eight years, three cities have risen above the rest as the top dog’s of Southern hip-hop; in np paticular order, they are Houston, Atlanta and Miami. With the immense amount of talent shared by artists in the H-Town, A-Town and MIA., it’s a shame that prior to the arrival of artists like Chamillionaire, T.I. and Rick Ross, nobody knew of a single mainstream act from the ‘Dirty. Ironically, the three artists behind the new song, Ridiculous, hail from the three previously mentioned (and now current) hip-hop mecca’s. As long as we are on the topic of ridiculousness, though, let’s mention that Smitty still has yet to release an official album, Trae has yet to gain respect outside of Texas and it took an Usher single for Polow da Don to get his just due.
I have to agree with DJ Z the aforementioned artists have successfully represented their home state. Don't forget my original pioneers: Goodie Mob/Outkast, Atlanta; Trick Daddy, Miami; and UGK, Port Arthur not Houston but still in Texas. Smitty hasn't grown on me as an artist yet. I have heard better production from Polow.
(Y'all just hating?! Come on! Say at least why you don’t like this) what first caught my attention was Pollow’s signature. And I’m talking about the name after “Producer:” actually, because this is not what I would expect from him. Production is fresh and classy. Good job on the chorus also. This is not a classic song but it’s definitely worth some rotation! Lyrics are nothing special but not brainless either (Never ride with a chick unless she got good brains ;)
I am feeling the beat by Polow da Don on here. He is a very versatile producer indeed! Smitty has a good flow on this track. This can go into rotation, but its nothing special.
Smitty's good but I believe he could do better next time, I like the song I guess it was the beat or something, but Trae did good but everyone else did decent. Smitty definately has serious potential!!
