Hip Hop is being
dominated by a number of super crews at the moment: Maybach Music, Young
Money/Cash Money and G.O.O.D. Music. Each with their own headline act Rick
Ross, Lil Wayne and Kanye West respectively. Much in the same way Maybach
Music’s Self Made series of albums
have helped to propel the label’s acts to a higher plateau (Wale’s debut album
sold 28,000 in its first week of release versus his sophomore album Ambition,
which was released after MMG’s Self Made,
debuted at number 2 on the Billboard charts and is now close to being certified
Gold), Cruel Summer aims to follow.
The album’s first
single was “Mercy” - a certified banger. Through adlibs and a show stealing
verse respectively, Big Sean and 2 Chainz (two rappers who are not necessarily
known for their lyrical ability) bring exactly what a song like “Mercy” needs.
Click here to watch possibly the best reaction to “Cold”, which began
life as "Theraflu" before becoming “Way Too Cold” until things were made alot simpler.
Kanye provides a brilliant performance on this song, in which he goes at his foes
and gets personal about his relationships. He attacks PETA in retaliation for their
apparent attack on Kim,
“Tell PETA my mink is dragging on the floor,” as well as quashing the
rumoured beef with Wiz Khalifa and how his relationship with Kim Kardashian started in addition to some harsh words for Kim's former husband Kris Humphries.
“And the whole
industry want to fuck your old chick
Only nigga I got
respect for is Wiz
And I'll admit, I
had fell in love with Kim
Around the same
time she had fell in love with him
Well that's cool,
baby girl, do ya thang
Lucky I ain't had
Jay drop him from the team” – Kanye West
