Here ya go folks, world exclusive. New MF Grimm song for everyone's enjoyment.
Here's what the press release says...
At this time, we cannot confirm this song will be featured on the tracklist for MF GRIMM's upcoming album, You Only Live Twice: The Audio Graphic Novel, set to release May 18, 2010. Twice features faultless rhythm, intelligent lyrics and edgy cover art.
The song itself starts off with a skit, almost reminiscent of 2pac's skit from 'All Eyez On Me' with him talking to some random chick. Grimm's skit though is HILARIOUS, it sums up what a lot of Heads have been thinking for the last few years, a fantastic satire of current trends.
The song itself follows the same subject matter as the skit...
Stop wearing your girlfriends pants/
you looking real soft in your b-boy stance!
Grimm airs out every trendy hipster who thinks it "cool" to rock those bullshit skinny jeans, speaking from his heart as a man who grew up with hip hop and simply doesnt like where its going, Grimm comes across very sincere, he doesnt necessarily sound like he's pointing fingers or calling any one person out, rather he's holding up a mirror to hip hop and society itself just so they can see how ridiculous they look.
The beat serves its purpose. It doesnt eclipse Grimm, rather simply serves as his backdrop and nothing more. I think a stronger beat may have helped push this song to another level but as it is it doesnt hurt the track, its just kinda there. Almost reminds me of something off of 'Digital Tears' to be honest. Either way this track serves as a perfect appetizer for what Grimm has in store for us in 2010, he's heading back to the streets to retake hip hop, and I for one cant wait to see what else he has on the way.
