Willie The Kid - Booth Shot Lincoln
Artist: Willie The Kid
Producer: V12 Da Hitman
Album: The Fly 2 Mixtape
Label: AMG/Embassy/Asylum
It’s been over a year since we last heard from Atlanta-by-way-of-Michigan emcee Willie the Kid, on his ’09 DJBooth Freestyle Pain and the Passion, but the man’s obviously been busy in the interim. As new leak Booth Shot Lincoln so capably demonstrates, not only has he clearly been working to solidify his already hard rhymes, but he’s become a student of history as well (if he had referenced President McKinley assassin Leon Czolqosz I would have really been impressed). Behind the boards, producer V12 Da Hitman more than lives up to his high octane name, giving Willie a stalking, instant head banger of a beat to work over, and work he does, dropping line after line of stream-of-consciousness, shotgun blast rhymes that strike like Lee Harvey Oswald from 100 yards. Is all of Willie’s upcoming project this homicidally dope? Can I figure out a way to name drop Charles Guiteau, thereby allowing me to work every presidential assassin into one write-up? Expect those questions and more to be answered when his The Fly 2 Mixtape drops on an as-yet unspecified date.

I've always been a big supporter of Willie, but the reason we decided to feature "Booth Shot Lincoln" has nothing to do with our past support. First, he used the word "Booth" in the song title. And second, Lincoln was a great U.S. President and hails from my home state of Illinois. Naw, but seriously, dude spazzes out of the V12 production and manages to impress in this roughly two minute freestyle.

Im really feeling WTK, I wish he would bless us with jewels like this more often. That beat is haunting, great track to throw on a mix and spin back a couple times.

When i first pressed play, the beat and that unique sound really drew me in for more..... But after a while it got really annoying. Its way too repititive........ As for the verses from Willie, I liked it. Not love, only like. I just feel like this isnt a very solid record from Willie. The production from V12 Da Hitman is annoying and the verses are weak. An OK record......

Ok right here. Kind of repetitive production but still solid. A hook and guest singer would definitely help along with a change of chord flow here and there.

@DJ Something - My comment was part sarcasm, not literal. Re-read it and you'll understand what I meant the second time. More importantly, though, we all have bias when it comes to our favorite musical selections. Seriously, that is part of being a fan of music - hip hop or otherwise.
