Title: Info on 50 Cent’s “Smoke” prod. by Dr. Dre & Dawaun Parker
Post by: cmk1 on March 19, 2014, 09:57:05 AM
In between taking questions from MTV’s Rob Markman and assorted fans in the audience, 50 Cent previewed select songs from “Animal Ambition”.

One of the highlights from the five-song selection was “Smoke,” a club-primed sex romp featuring Trey Songz and produced by Dr. Dr Dre and Dawaun Parker.

Markman joked that someone would have his shirt off in the video and Fifty countered that it would probably be both him and Trey. Despite grody references to running trains, the metaphors employed here felt a little bit less gauche than they do on “Candy Shop” or “Amusement Park,” perhaps because the you’re-so-hot-you-set-the-place-on-fire trope is a little bit less hokey. Or, maybe putting Trey on your song guarantees you’ll sound a little bit less loopy with your similes.

But Dr. Dre’s thick drums are what really make it bang. Fif and Dre have always had a way of finessing superlative performances from themselves while working together, and this is no exception.

Animal Ambition is out June 3 via Caroline/Capitol.

Rap God shows that Em can still make an insane lyrical song and have it be a hit.  which nobody else in rap can really do.  too bad the rest of that album sucked ass.  and not even a Slaugherhouse or Yelawolf feature?  smh

he's still huge because of his legacy.. eminem music now is GARBAGE!! that's what he meant when he said music passed them by.. 50 and Em are done!! em is still selling albums because 1, his passed album were dope, 2 white people will buy anything he puts out because they need somebody to identify with in this game..all his new music is weak as fuck and dude just sounding flat out old. those lil funny videos ain't cutting it no more because its now a 41 year old eminem running around in weird suits and that's just creepy. the white media moved on from em to macklemore and his happy go lucky lyric's about thinking he was gay :D
