Two weeks ago, DJBooth featured Stat Quo’s Dear Summer (Pt. 1); ladies and gentlemen, Part 2 has arrived. Continuing his career story where he last left off, Stat reveals that he has penned several records for Dr. Dre’s forever-delayed Detox album, Dre lied to him about working records that he produced, Eminem stopped working his project over an A&R meeting miscommunication, Obie Trice’s departure from Shady Records was both shocking and upsetting, and for over a year now he has attempted (with the help of lawyers) to get out of his current record deal. We know; whew! Accompanying Stat’s revelations is the Knoxville-produced beat from Jim Jones‘s Summer Wit Miami, which samples the Isley Brothers record, Between The Sheets.
This production is off the chains. I doesn't escape me that this is also the same sample used for "Ignorant Sh*t" by Jay-Z (better freestyle by Lupe Fiasco), and B.I.G's classic (recently sampled by Gwen Stefani for "Luxurious"). I like Stat Quo's biographical content. I wonder what the joke was that he said to Eminem that made him wash his hands of Stat's project. I really wouldn't have cared too much about Stat and his history until he did this. Now I'm looking for some of his joints in the future.
Damn that was enlightening. This should get folks listening to Quo. Aftermath loves giving us reality. First that madness with Buck and 50 now a explination 4 y Quo ain't dropped. I enjoyed this. Makes me think of another sick series of songs Who by Joe Budden. This is equally as interesting to me. I give the edge to Bunnen for the thought that he put into to it, but this was crazy too.
I agree with sha_xx! It's a good song but boring, I don't like it when songs are too repetitive...I see no point on going ahead listening to them! The production is excellent, though
I was honestly wondering when we were gonna get the part 2 of this track because the first one was CRACK!!! I am soooo ready for a Stat Album to drop! I Can't freakin wait! He definitely needs to come out ASAP! It's pretty messed up because he is super-talented and no one flows like him! This goes hard right here! The more I listen to this; the more I know he was supposed to come out years ago! Oh well, that's life I guess. Easily a BANGER
I found out a lot I didn't know about aftermath and shady kinda feel bad for stat quo he is one of the most talented cats over there. Nice beat he jacked to tell this story over too. First one was a banger and so is # two.
