... shoot a music video for it and drop it as the first single off "The Reformation". Fuck those reused elements from "Love Me No More", the beat is one of the best I've heard from Khalil, the hook is amazing and Bishop came tight on it with some funny lines like "the ozone gettin thinner, my pockets gettin fatter/the world might end today, i'm rich bitch it don't matter"... Thats single material to me.

What yall think?

Honestly, he should have kept the "I Need It" track off Caltroit for his album.
That's album material and a certified banger.
I can't understand how such a crazy beat was only used for a mixtape.
This is probably the beat I have heard since a couple of years.

yeah man i was feeling the same way about that City Lights track. Been bumpin that non-stop since the untagged version got released. the beat sounds like it is inspired from I'll still Kill by curtis but this one is even crayzier! the hook also is perfect and bishop's flow is laid back, really one of my favorite Bishop/Khalil track.

i have to agree that city lights should have been saved for his album...the production is sick...im feelin the little rock/hiphop mashup on the hook and i know a lot people up here hate that track and i dont care because its better than alot of shit thats out now.

Don't worry, I'm sure his album will be even better...minus club tracks.

It's got big radio/crossover appeal.

co sign

prolly the strongest bishop song prod. by khalil

the funny thing is , u can expect more songs like this cuz dude whos on the hook is doin a side project with khalil called ''new royales''


i hope he got some fire on the album cuz the mixtapes are FULL of classic-quality songs

I agree. "City Lights" & "Grow Up" are my favrote songs Bishop has done so far except this reeeaallyyy erie song Dre did for him about a ouija (wee-gee) board on halloween.. (CRAZY)

I gave "City Lights" to Jimmy Iovine months ago when I took Vanessa Marquez up to see him & told him the same thing (along with Taje's mixtape & some of Mike Ant's stuff).  Bishops whole camp is is like the Dogg Pound all over again. Mike Ant, Prime, Dae One, Diverse, JRK, Taje, Indef & the whole crew is dope!

But Taje should be banned from the media.

City lights would have been a much better single than Grow up, 'Sometimes' would have been a brilliant single, thought provoking and reminds of a song that tupac would have done.
