Statik Selektah - Mr. Popularity ft. Consequence
Artist: Statik Selektah
Featuring: Consequence
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: Stick 2 The Script
Label: ShowOff/Duck Down
A wise man once said “Speech is silver, but silence is golden.” Evidently, Brooklyn producer and DJBooth favorite Statik Selektah has taken that phrase to heart; on his debut album, Stick 2 The Script, he stays silent for the entire set, entrusting in his production to stand out to the listener. Confused? Well, than take a listen to Mr. Popularity, on which Queens native and longtime A Tribe Called Quest collaborator Consequence centers his entire verse around the word “pop.” Possibly inspired by DJ Premier, Statik laces his electric guitar-horn beat with some pre-made sampling on the hook (including, for those keeping score, Jay-Z‘s verse from Young Jeezy‘s Go Crazy (Remix), Lil’ Wayne‘s first verse from Stuntin’ Like My Daddy, T.I.‘s last line from Big Things Poppin, and Eric B. & Rakim‘s My Melody). Stick 2 The Script will be available in stores and online October 21.

the production is creative, but the lyrics need a little work to make the song better than it is....

This is another track that everyone seems to be digging that is not connecting with me. I donno beat doesn't do it. Con's flow is ok but he has yet to blow me away with a verse yet. This is alright. Beat reminds me of the theme song to Rush Hour or some flick.

Love the samples, love the production, wish Cons gave a bit more on the mic. Ever since his TCQ-days, I have been a HUGE Consequence fan. He always seems to give you just enough to want more. Statik stole the show here.

I meant to peep this a little bit ago. I liked the production a bit. It didn't seem authentic enough on the hook though. Cons bores me on here. I usually love his joints, but he definitely needed to bring more on this.

The production is very good, above all the background music...but a better flow was needed in my opinion! Not that he's bad but I'd like to hear more energy
