Dr. Dre and Quik - Put it on me
What are some songs that you feel were overhyped, usually due to the collabo or the content, that were not nearly as good as they should have been, or as people may have wanted them to be?I'd say..........NWA - Chin Check - This song was decent, and got hella play...but hearing it now, it's obvious that we were caught up in the hype more so than the song being classic material. Hearing it next to tracks from that era like "Still Dre" "G'd up" and "We can freak it", it doesn't sound nearly as good.Dr. Dre and Quik - Put it on me....everybody from the West was hyped about our two favorite producers finally making a track together, and it got major radio play. However, it was a good solid song at best...it was not classic in any way, and both artists have had and produced album cuts that were much better than this track.Dr. Dre and Snoop - Just dippin - This song was hyped because it was the first time we heard Dre and Snoop on a song together since "Nothin but a G thang"...but this song was not nearly as dope as people may have felt it was. By the time 2001 came out, this song was completely forgotten about, and it wasn't even strong enough to become a single. Was it wack or even average? Definitely not...but it wasn't the "classic" that many people wanted...it just had the names we all wanted. Most people, such as me, feel that the Battlecat remix was much better.Jay-Z - Justify my thug (Prod. by DJ Quik) - I was one of those that was very excited when I heard Jay chose Quik to do a song on his album...but when I heard it, I was like wait....this definitely must be a typo, I know Quik didn't do this one. Many people made the excuse that "We are being biased as West Coast fans, and not lettin Quik grow and expand his style...he can't give Jay a West Coast track, because it won't appeal, and this song bangs hard" and all else..but regardless if Quik made it or not, I think it was a very average beat and song. The worst beats on Quik's albums were still better than this one to me.
I think Snoop & The Game - Gangbang 101 & Snoop & Ice Cube - LAX from the Blue Carpet treatment were very disappointing
Just Dippin - Dope as fuck but probably not what people expected, but thats on you.Chin Check - Classic, you on some weird shit. This song is classic.
