Trackademicks - Stop It!
Artist: Trackademicks
Featuring: Mistah F.A.B
Producer: Trackademicks
Album: State of the Arts
Label: HNRL/Fool's Gold
If you’re a hip-hop artist churning out ignorant dreck in hopes of lining your pockets, Trackademicks has a small request to make: Stop It! That’s right – on his latest single, the rapper/producer who brought us Fool on the Hill addresses sub-par spitters everywhere, asking them to cut out all that wack sh*t that he, and most heads who weren’t born yesterday, have come to hate. Flowing over his own breezily fresh synth boardwork, he calls all the usual suspects to the stand (“Mr. Braggadocio,” “Mr. Superficial,” Mr. Pimp-with-a-fake-limp…) and knocks them down, one by one. For those too cynical to respond to the headliner’s appeals to conscience, Bay Area mainstay Mistah F.A.B. wisely points out: “Often, the stuntin, the boastin’ and the falsin’ will get you in a coffin.” So, how about it, Booth readers – would we all be better off if emcees followed the collaborators advice? If you think so, then a musical breath of fresh air is just a few mouse-clicks away – released last Thursday (October 7), Track’s State of the Arts street album is available now for free online download.

Three stars alone for the club-ready production work. In my search for another star, though, I had a hard time looking past the average hook and overall chorus delivery. The verses all are fitting for the song's intent and style, but don't push this over the top.

Any track that starts off with a Biggie quote is a winner by my book, and as the author of "Your Favorite Rapper is Poor" I'd be remiss if I didn't support Track's quit lying about your money stance.
On the real, the rhymes could have been just a little more energetic, but in the grand scheme, especially including this tight beat, I've got nothing to complain about. Props. |

You can always rely on Bay Area produced songs to have an above average beat. This song is no exception. The rest of the song was a bit of a let down however. It could have been a special song if the chorus and lyrics were on par with the production. Still, there's no denying that beat. 3/5
