Trae The Truth - Something Real
Artist: Trae The Truth
Producer: Mr. Lee
Album: Tha Truth
Label: EMPIRE
Most rappers are willing to exercise a little artistic license to entertain their fans, but Trae the Truth is all about keeping it one-hundred. On Something Real, the lead single off his first studio album since ‘07’s Life Goes On, the Houston emcee teams up with two Southern-rap cohorts to give listeners Tha Truth and nothing but. Over Mr. Lee‘s laid-back organ-synth beat (featuring a hook sampled from Jodeci‘s Jodecidal Hotline and backing vocals by Day26 member Brian Angel), On his opening verse, Slim Thug lets listeners know exactly how he feels about the game’s all-too-numerous poseurs, and the headliner follows him up with some agile, quietly intense middle bars. Always game to reassert his realness, Plies ends the track on a swag-heavy note. If you think this street-certified cut’s the real deal, you’re sure to find more to your liking on Trae’s Tha Truth LP when it hits stores and online retailers February 16, 2010. In the meantime, fans can look forward to the release of similarly-named prelude mixtape The Incredible Truth, coming soon.

Trae has a potential hit record! Not sure how the streets are going to feel about this less-than-gutta angle, but Trae deserves a larger fanbase and this could help him achieve that goal.

Trae had some real lyrics. Hahahaha, he does a belt tho. Haven't seen pants that baggy in a minute. This has a soulful Bun B "You're Everything" feel to it. I actually didn't mind Plies. He still didn't really rhyme, but his lyrics were meaningful.

Trae's deffinityl not the best lyricist by any stretch of the imagination, but he certainly grows on you.......He looks like a dork in that picture, look how wide he's gotta spread his legs to hold up those jeans!

Could Houston be back on the way up? I'm loving the Jodeci sample, and Trae and Slim absolutely come with it (Plies, personally, I could take or leave). This is a real smooth rider, dope.

Samples from Jodeci, mean only one thing, a hit. Production is too hot! -1 for the unnecessary censorship (who's to blame lol? Nathan? *Pelts Stone*). Who know's? For example, Slim Thug could have said, "@*#$!", or he could have said, "phuckers"; the (alleged) use of expletives in this song are inconclusive.

Slim Thug was my highlight for this song, hiz album this year 'Boss of all Bosses' was quite decent with 4 massive tracks. Anywayz, back to Trae, good to see him gettin' back out there, Deff a KILLA song I wrekin'. Plies? Well after hearin' 'Becky' I thought, please God help him, or help me because I actually like it lololol. He did well.
And those jeans? lol. Obviously just for the photo, no way in hell could u wear them while strollin, u could take a years suplly of dumpz in the diaper. |

Trae has been doing his thing in the T.X. for a long time. It's time for him to get slice of the pie. The rap game better be careful because Trae can take the game by storm and eat the pie in their faces.
