Nowadays, the trendy marketing plan amongst many indie artists is to release new material on a consistent basis as part of a series (see Crooked I‘s Hip-Hop Weekly, K. Sparks‘s Manic Mondays, and XV‘s 40 Days, 40 Nights).  Continuing this fad is Rhode Island emcee Theo, who will pick up his remote control on the first and fifteenth of each month for some Channel Surfin’.  Airing on Channel 1 is Jurassic Harlem; listeners will instantly be reminded of a young Jay-Z when they hear Theo’s lyricism and vocal tone.  Producer Swizz Beatz contributes a ratings-boosting beat, which includes a sample of John Williams’ theme to Jurassic Park.  It seems like both Theo and Swizzy know that when you can attract Steven Spielberg fanboys, you’ve really made it big!  In two weeks, find out what’s on Channel 2.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on October 13, 2008

Yea, straight jacked Kanye, but i can't say if Kanye bit it from someone else. Also his name is Theo so a metaphor about Cosby is more meaningful from him.

How can you not love a John Williams sample being used on a track? That man has composed the soundtracks to such classics as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and E.T. Swizzy got that sample down flat, and Theo's rapping is cool too. Channel 1 makes me wish I had Theo's cable service provider!

WOW, Swizz Beatz can make a dope song out of anything: great use of a sample, still took a fair amount of creativity. I wasn’t expecting this to sound as epic at all! Theo was consistently confident throughout the song (Jigga like) and affecting at 1:36 (Kanye like) but still distinctive with smart realistic lyrics. Really impressed! This is a great night on DjBooth (A-list rappers and Unsigned as well)!!! PS: You can tell Theo is a fool for using that pic :p but damn, it almost made me not hear this Theo, control yourself! ;)

Theo eh? He's also so hit and miss for me. I love this sample. He hit this one outta the park though. He did snatch that Kanye line...but eh...it's actually even funnier since his name is THEO! LOL. I like his confidence on this. I gotta get him a beat for our collab. He told me to hit him with that and I've been slacking on my macking. Straight 4 star banger right here. Sample was nuts and so was the lyrics.

Wow the background sample absolutely makes the whole song...it's amazing! The beginning gave me the creeps. The beat is chillin and his flow too. It's not a song I would always listen to, but it's good and deserves to go in rotation!

Man these unsigned artists have so much money nowadays.... artists spending 30 grand on trey songs collabs, artists spending 75+ grand on lil wayne collabs and now theo ( unsigned) paying for a swizz beatz beat... just for a mixtape? c'mon man. i cant even afford a wal mart beat right now. Anyways..... the song is nothing special. Flows like jay-z a little on this but overalll boring song.

it's ok.. production is on point from Swizzy, theo does a good job w lyrics but i'm not really feeling his voice... but then jay-z i only feel his voice on his exceptional tracks, not all, so maybe the comparison is accurate? 3* in rotation just cuz the prod and lyrics are too strong to rate a lowly 2*

Swizz absolutely nails the production on this one! The first 10 sec i was a little sceptic, but then he switches it up & straight up delivers. You gotta be a very bad MC to not score on this track ;-)
