Romping Shop

When you hear this song you are probably at some dingy, all black (people) affair pretending to know how to dance while not caring that it is evident you cannot.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard this song yet, even in all of the years only recently have I downloaded the erotic hit by the incarcerated Vybz Kartel and Spice.

I had no clue what this song title was for the longest time but I knew I loved it. It’s Neyo’s beat for Christ’s sake!

When Miss Independent turns into Ramping Shop I die thee times on the inside. Yes, I said ramping shop because I literally thought that was the title of the song. Right up until a few short moments ago I did not realize it was “romping shop” - that moment when everything clicks.

This song is oozey, forget every other sex song you have ever heard. This one blows em all out of the water. You feel ashamed listening to it loud in your car, sometimes the lyrics get you hot!

Reggae is back like it never went no where. In a big way too. We are heading towards a pop reggae re-genesis and Romping Shop is an early forecaster of this. PYT, Nasty, The Fix, that DJ Mustard song, the list goes on and on. It’ll be interesting to see reggae’s movement into the pop scene. What I am most excited about it what rap and hip hop artists are going to do with it.

So many albums to review, Views, Pablo, Jeremiah, Chance, YG and so many coming out, Gucci, SchoolBoy, DJ Khaled, honestly why does rap have to be so hot

And they still ain't ready yet for a mutha fucka

3/4 Trap Stars

I woke up for a day of work and instantly began browsing the gram. Drake posted a picture of 2Chainz face. When I looked a bit closer I realized 2Chaniz just dropped a mixtape. I was excited as his previous albums were not exciting. The title of this album felt special to me and it wasn’t long before it was bumping it in my 2002 Toyota Camry.

All the reviews are calling this 2Chainz’s and Wayne’s album but it’s not. It’s strictly a 2Chainz mixtape with Wayne as the featured guest. The production is the life of this album. Hip hop’s heavy hitter producers continue to flex their insane-huge ass muscles - Metro, Mike I Made Everything, and trap connoisseur Southside are the key to this album’s success. Not to take away from the evident growth 2Chainz displays on this album. His lyrics are stronger and although he raps about pussy, he does this to “make million” moreover, the nod to Katrina shows 2Chainz’s movement towards actually saying something.

Top fav tracks are Dedication, Bounce and Blue C-Note. In Dedication, 2Chainz recount his friendship with Wayne and weaves in the history of New Orleans pre and post Katrina. It’s magical. Lyrics like,

“I went to Eastover before Katrina Remember going to Magic riding in my B-mer And this was way before FEMA, and you was rappin’ and singin’ And I was slanging the Ps and smoking nigga like Newport”

take the audience on this memory relapse with 2Chainz. We share the trauma with Wayne. 2Chainz recounts,

“You relocated to MIA You told me shawdy this where I stay I came down to pay a visit You told me Zoe Pound (a street gang) and them was trippin And you, you wasn’t dippin’”

Katrina affected millions of black Americans, Wayne included. Wayne is forced to move to Miami and gets in trouble with a gang. His story is familiar and relevant. Dedication does an excellent job of meditating on the contemporary American trauma of Katrina. Wayne is a rapper but he is also a survivor of Katrina. My love for this song runs deep. It’s raw and real and 2Chainz shows his vulnerable singing ass nigga side.

ColleGrove is a 2Chainz album and any review that attempts to criticize Wayne is missing the point. Wayne lets 2Chaniz shine while practicing his new flow and figuring out how to approach his next album. Be ready for Wayne's next album because it will be nothing we've heard from him so far. And on top of that now he has something to prove to all the haters saying he didn't deliver on Collegrove.

Listen to Collegrove and then listen to it again. 2Chainz is growing Wayne is practicing and the beats are too dirty.
