Trey Songz - Whoever Else
Artist: Trey Songz
Producer: A-Wall The Producer
Album: #Lemmeholdatbeat2
Label: Songbook/Atlantic
Though the line separating hip-hop and R&B has been blurred so much in recent years that it’s actually more of a gray smudge, rappers metamorphosing into singers has been considerably more common than the other way around; aside from Tyrese and his Alter-Ego, Black-Ty, I’m having trouble coming up with notable examples of the latter. Here to buck this trend is Trey Songz, who’s preparing to showcase both sides of his skillset on a pair of forthcoming mixtapes. Whoever Else, the latest release off the rap half of the release, find Trigga trying his hand at braggadocio rhymes. With A-Wall the Producer‘s syncopated percussion and swirling synths as his backdrop, Songz touches upon all the obligatory topics—his paper chase, his sexual prowess, his disregard for the competition, etc. Since Trey seems to think he can go toe-to-toe with the pros (“Lyrical murder, spit a verse and you should duck and dive / I ain’t a rapper, so to rappers it’s such a surprise.”), the question must be posed: does he pass muster as an emcee? Debate away—or withhold judgment till #Lemmeholdatbeat drops (along with R&B mixtape Anticipation 2) on Nov. 1.

Can Trey spit better than a lot of rappers? Yes. But, I don't really care. Ichiro could hit a homerun every game, but he sticks to base hits because that is what he is best at and it helps his team. Songz can spit, but what he does best is sing some excellent R&B music. Stick with that.

I've listened to Trey's rap mixtapes and he just doesn't do it for me. He's good at it but nothing special. Anytime he raps he can't seem to throw a solid hook on it. When he's not rapping he murders hooks and verses alike. I'm inclined to also say stick with R&B Trigga.

@ Z, The way I see it is its becoming harder to make money in the business, so instead of locking yourself to one genre and thereby having one set of fans these dudes are diversifying. Its business 101, "dont put all you eggs in one basket". I cant say I love it but I far from hate it, infact I enjoyed the track.

though I think he can spit in some of his songs, e.g. Replacement Girl....I do prefer when he sticks to R&B/Soul, this is mediocre
