Trae The Truth - Slammin’ Doorz
Artist: Trae The Truth
Featuring: Young Buck
Producer: Platinum Hands
Album: Street King
Label: EMPIRE
“Man, I’m feelin’ so H-Town now, my n*gga. This big-ass, white-ass cup, ya na’mean.” Intros can be deceiving but, in the case of Trae the Truth‘s latest mixtape leak, the opening ad-lib tells you everything you need to know about the record. As you may have surmised, Slammin’ Doorz is a Houston anthem with all the trill trimmings. Platinum Handz delivers a woozy, slow-rolling synth instrumental, complete with the obligatory chopped-n-screwed chorus, as Trae delivers bars dripping with as much local color as the his Benz is with candy paint. Though hailing from Memphis, Young Buck pays proper respect to the H throughout his guest bars: when he’s not waxing poetic about syrup, whips, rims and beautiful hoes
women, the underground vet namedrops everyone from Big Hawk and Big Moe to Rap-A-Lot CEO J. Prince. Whether you live in Trae’s ‘hood or in still-inexplicably-chilly Minneapolis, this joint is the perfect soundtrack for leanin’, swangin’, or simply breaking a few noise ordinances (activities which the Booth, of course, doesn’t [officially] endorse). If you’re digging it, plenty more awaits on the emcee’s Street King mixtape, out June 7.

Sounds like Houston, nothing really groundbreaking, but acceptable if you like that kind of music...

Feeling the beat. Buck fits. Track deserves better than the rating suggests.

Cool, chill beat, but Trae and Buck are disappointing. The beat has that unique H-town sound, and, had it been given to Bun or another southern rapper, it could have been a solid track.

Tough beat.. lackluster delivery on both parts. I cvan think of a handful of TX artists who could've slayed this, shame it didn't happen from the jump.

Standard southern rap track. Not really my thing.

Let me speak from a TX POV. Yes, I have never felt Trae was really a standout artist, especially solo on a track, but he does well with collabos (i.e. A.B.N. albums). It's something I'm going to download and ride to, and as someone that expects lyricism, I'm feeling the beat and the lyrics, while are not intricate, etc., they are honest and relatable, at least to someone from TX.
As for the "there are other artists from TX that would have done better," yeah, I could see that. But it's Trae's song, he would have had to still be on it. Lil' Keke or Z-ro of Scarface would have killed it and probably stole the show. Buck is a good rapper and had a nice showing, so I'm satisfied with the track. Its a ride to song, mello and melodic, therefore a TX heavyweight on the track would have changed the vibe. Also, as much as it pains me to say this, @ltg2121 Bun is not the Bun we grew up on anymore, and has significantly declined when it comes to subject matter and delivery. I'm giving this a 3.5, but stars-wise, I have to round up rather than down. |
