THINK TANK (Llamabeats & Parable) - Gimme Your Money
Producer: Llamabeats
Album: Mashed Potatoes
Label: Unsigned
Does mo’ money really equal mo’ problems? The Beatles would certainly have agreed with Biggie‘s famous thesis, judging by the richer-than-God rock legends’ cash-related complaints on joints like Taxman and You Never Give Me Your Money. Though inspired by the latter cut, Miami crew Think Tank‘s Gimme Your Money is focused more on the struggles of artists with less currency than they’d like. Backed by Llamabeats’ chopped rendition of the Abbey Road classic, rappers Spits (a member of Llamabeats along with producer The What’s Good and guitarist Mister Fader) and Parable deliver a litany of familiar gripes – impatient landlords, nagging girlfriends, nine-to-five drudgery – in a fresh, entertaining fashion. And they don’t lose sight of the big picture; on verse two, Parable announces that he’s “...tired of the white-collar man with cigar in hand, duckin’ the government for taxes while kids in other countries keep on strugglin’ for rations.” If this joint leaves you hungry for more from Think Tank, you can look forward to a generous serving of Mashed Potatoes on November 2, when their new, Booth-sponsored project hits our mixtape page.

Its really hard to go wrong when producers sample The almighty Beatles catalog, and this track is no exception to this. However i don't think Think Tank fully thought these verses out, to me half the song is lyrically uneventful while the other is outstanding. The hook could have been changed to something else a bit more clever.

The hook is catchy, for obvious reasons, and I agree that when you use a Beatles sample you have to come hard (or not at all). I found the record to be pleasing enough to warrant a feature and certainly point fans in the group's direction.

A little underwhelming, but still a nice joint here. The sample's dead on, the beat's mellow and the lyrics can't really be complained about. I'm def down to hear if Think Thank has even better material.
Also, just me or does the dude in the second verse (Parable i'm assuming) kind of sound like Freeway?

Honestly, I didn't think that this was a bad track. Production and sample seemed to compliment each other nicely. On top of that, Parable came with some pretty slick rhymes. The second guy was a bit off though.

Parable for President! I catch these guys live as often as possible when they're back in Miami. Anyone who's had the opportunity to hear them live should know they're dope and ALWAYS original!
