So Ayo ThaTruth asked us to review his track "Certified F#$& Nigga"
. We normally don't or comment on peoples music, because what if we don't like the song? We don't want to offend people. That's not our goal. We love to give everybody a chance to shine. However, through this issue of the magazine we showed you everything that we accomplished in 2015. This year we had to a whole lot of firsts, so here we go with our First Song Review.
Ayo TheTruth - Certified F#$& Nigga Review
The song starts off with a brief intro of the beat, and then the hook. The first thing we noticed is there wasn't a producer tag at the beginning. If it was it wasn't obvious and we couldn't hear it. We wanted to point this out because there are so many artists that send music all types of places with the tags still on the song. When you are independent artist, the absence of the producer tag means that you actually care about your craft and take what you are doing seriously.
The bridge was towards the beginning of the song. Or at least we think the artist meant for "You always keep it 100, but you don't keep it 100....." to be the bridge. If so then you normally don't see the artists put their bridge towards the front. Most artists put it between verses or towards the end. However, it's always good to mix it up because it keeps the audience guessing. It makes the audience wonder what's going to happen next in the song. Nice job here.
Next let's move on to the verse's. The what we liked about the verses is there were some multi-sylabble rhymes with the "talk it how you walk it....." line. Some the greatests such as Big L, Black Thought, Common, Mos Def, Big Daddy Kane,Kool G Rap,Rakim, and Eminem used mutiple syllable rhymes extensivley or very shortly. This type of rhyme pattern is more pleasurable to the ear for fans, because humans tend to like repitition in music.
The next thing that we wanted to mention about the verses is that there were some slant rhymes thrown at us. This means that the artist mixed it up, and was thinking out of the box rather than using all perfect rhymes.
The hook and the bridge were easy to remember and repeat, which let's face it that's what sells the song. The adlibs combined with the hook, the bridge and the verses kept the song lively. What we beleive to be a Tupac adlib "I'm laughing now" was also a nice touch. Overall a good song.
So there, we made it through our first song review. We may decided to make this a feature next year. If you so we will keep you guys up-to-date on that.
