Terrace Martin - Thirsty
Artist: Terrace Martin
Featuring: Kendrick Lamar , CyHi The Prynce
Producer: Terrace Martin
Album: Locke High 2 Mixtape
Label: AKAI Music
If you’re an up-and-coming rapper desperate for a leg-up, don’t go running to Terrace Martin for help. In fact, you probably shouldn’t even listen to the veteran rapper/producer’s latest record – it might hit a little close to home. If you don’t happen to be one of the “Thirsty-ass n*ggas” in question, though, you’re sure to enjoy the lyrical portrait of moocher-dom that he, with a little help from Cali buzzmaker Kendrick Lamar and G.O.O.D. Music representative Cyhi Da Prynce, paints on this forthcoming Locke High 2 mixtape inclusion. Flowing over Martin’s blissfully head-noddable boardwork (sampled from Stevie Wonder’s Rocket Love), the collaborators express their exasperation with lames’ relentless demands; whether they’re looking for beats and guest verses, introductions to movers-and-shakers, or just a couple bucks, they always seem to have their hand out. Those digging this joint’s satirical edge can look forward to more hot beats and witty rhymes on Terrace Martin and Devi Dev‘s intriguingly-titled The Sex EP. Those who recognize themselves in the record’s lyrics, on the other hand, are cordially invited to… stop it. Seriously. To quote the headliner, “Nobody owes you sh*t.”

Everyone comes correct on this record. The production from Terrace is, as usual, on point and the vocal contributions from Kendrick and CyHi are both excellent. Glad to see both emcees getting great pub and opps to kick of 2011.

Pretty good track, LOVED the horn on the beat. Terrace is a damn good talent that I can tell has a ton of potential. Cyhi is really impressing me lately as well. Thought the hook was a bit lazy but easily overlooked by the talents of TM and company.

The horn should have been incorporated more into the production, it was the best part of it. The rest off it was a little too bland. All of the artists came wit it for the verses though.

Look the f**k out, it's that new west coast (except for Cy, of course, but you get the point). I'd agree with the Booth, this needs just one more element to make it truly outstanding, but there's nothing to complain about here. Ride out.

This is really great from Terrace. His production is perfect on this. He has a lot of serious talent. And then Kendrick went in, and he did a very nice job on his verse. After that, that horn came on, and i fell in love with this song right there. Omg then CyHi came on, and... well... the same as always... killed it. If everyone put him on their work, they would all be great. He is really awesome. I cant get enough of this dude. A banger, no doubt.

I mean I like it, but I didn't particularly agree with the line "if you're thirsty, just stop". I mean, sure, don't look for features with seriously talented artists if you haven't put in a good amount of work, but I think it's just a little hypocritical to tell that person to stop. Everyone in the business was thirsty at one point, and they didn't stop. Other then that, I do like the song, but being thirsty is a little too generalized, and it seems they are just talking about people who want to be on their songs or call up some of their rap-happening friends to have them and they have not done anything to deserve it.

I was really feelin the production, but as soon as he started his bars, he completely deciminated this track with his poor vocals and worse flow.
