Considering the rave reader reviews the up-and-comer earned for his first feature, Time Flies, Tom P can hardly be thought of as a long-shot in the Booth; nonetheless, I have a feeling our regulars will be happy to follow the Decatur, Georgia representative’s lead when he asks us to “Root for the Underdog” on this new, unreleased cut. Here, the artist takes a page from fellow Southern buzzmaker Yelawolf‘s book, playing up his small-town background in technically impressive verses. Backed by J. Pardon‘s stark, street-ready beat, he offers those who have yet to jump on his bandwagon a brief introduction: “They call me Tom P., the city slicker, the town drunk, the white Twista…” After the (relatively) laid-back opening, he proceeds to prove that latter sobriquet accurate, launching into a blazing-fast flurry of double-time rhymes. This record, as mentioned above, isn’t set for inclusion on any forthcoming project, but those left rooting for Tom P. after hearing this dazzling lyrical display can, of course, keep it locked to the Booth for all the latest news and tunes.

Wow. Just wow. Tom, if you are reading this feedback thread, I am impressed. I didn't know you had it in you (notice the usage of the word "know" and not "think). Does this 2 minute, extended freestyle mean Tom can put together a catchy song? Not sure, but I'd like to find out soon.

I consider myself a pretty open minded dude, but on the surface there's no way I would have thought Tom P could flow like this.
Thanks for shattering expectations Tom. Goddamn. "The White Twista" indeed. Just goddamn.

Everyone in Atlanta/Decatur area has been knowing about Tom P for a while. He been selling out shows since like back in high school.. This track is awesome and comes as no surprise to me. I'm excited to see him really starting to get out there and get some long overdue credit. Root for the underdog!

Love this song. But..
Dear Top P, I bought this CD because on the intro you do awesome double time raps. But, the album is LACKING in double time raps. Sorry Tom P, you're ok when rapping slow, but you need to keep up the speed. And as for content. There is none. You mention booze 100x+ weed 100x+ where your from 200x+. Just a little tiny bit about girls. Other then that.... What were you trying to say? You mention your childhood criminality but don't elaborate. djbooth.net said "playing up his small-town background". And that's it. You say your from Atlanta 200x yet you still sound country. Now I accept this could be intended to just be a head-banger party album, and thats your market, thats fine. But I am still pissed. Not enough fast raps, not enough lyrical content. Period. I want my 5$ back. P.S. Your guest rappers suck |
