Bishop Lamont - Grow Up or Jay-Z - 30 Something
« on: July 15, 2008, 08:16:03 PM »
Thought this was an interesting one now the Bishop single has been in rotation a while. 2 Dre produced tracks - similar speed and subject matter - but which one is better?

My opinion is that the hook is lame on the Bishop track, that synth that comes in and the 'up up up up up' is way too obvious and completely ruins it. Apart from that the vibe is really warm, Bishop is on point and and you got Dre's years in the making 'epic clap' drums in the mix. I'd go with the Jay track because its some catchy minimalist jazzy funk shit though 8)

Opinions?

Aside from the chorus in Grow Up that ruins it. I felt that Grow Up was a bit catchier.
30 Something ain't bad though.

Good topic, besides all the things you said, Jay and Bishop also got a simillar voice/flow.

I think both songs have a good, more mature subject mater, are good flow wise and have some nice quotables. But Grow Up is better because of the production, 30 Something sounds like a 2001 leftover.

The 30 Something remix featuring André 3000 and Ice Cube
See these fans can't resist the rush,
they Wu-Tang for life
Scarred for life,
they can't forget the cuts

The fuck... I always thought that the 30 Something remix was a blend, now I listen to it on Youtube and see that it's not. Can't remember the last time I've heard Cube over a Dre beat. Anyone got an mp3 ?
