As the clock struck midnight Jan. 11, music critics and social networks best at slander took to the Net to express opinions about the Kanye West and Jay-Z track, "H.A.M.," which is the first single on their collaborative effort, "Watch the Throne."
An acronym for "Hard as a Motherf****r," the title is an overstatement, resulting in mediocre bars over an abused Lex Luger beat-style tradition.
If your ears hold mercy toward Kanye West and Jay-Z – along with producer Lex Luger, who is most known for his spooky, dark, heavy baseline production noted on Rick Ross' "B.M.F." – then you know this track should have been handed to other rap contenders.
While some admit that 'Ye took the crown for underwhelming rhymes and flow, some have yet to let Hov's lap breathe, as the ego sucking never seem to cease.
Though I don't quite consider Hov's verse last week's trash, it still didn't amaze me.
Since Lex Luger sticks to what he knows best – leaving every production related to Rick Ross' "B.M.F." – it's only right to imagine who could have done this track justice.
We all saw this coming, and it's only right that Rick Ross jumped on the beat for a more favorable remix.
If 'Ye didn't rape Ross' flow … then someone try feeding the original "H.A.M.," to a Muslim. I'm sure they'll still say "Allahu Akbar" afterwards.
Crowned one of XXL's Freshmen in 2010, Pill tends to get overshadowed by his classmates.
However, this ATL youngster made his way onto the scene letting everybody know that he "has the trap goin' ham."
Pill already took to twitter to let the masses know that he's hip to the things: "What's Pill doin? Currently penning his verse for the H.A.M remix ... It's checkers not Chess ..."
Pill made it a hot line, but too bad 'Ye and Hov didn't make "H.A.M." a hot song. Oops.
If some insist on getting their panties in a bunch, cut the foolishness.
Perhaps one of the reasons the "H.A.M." track didn't sit well with most is that the styles "going hard" were all wrong. The Lex Luger production demands nightclub play, and who better than Gucci Mane and his … swag.
Check him out on Rick Ross' "MC Hammer," which features production by — wait for it, wait for it — Lex Luger. Besides sounding just like "B.M.F.," Gucci does his thing. Perhaps when he's done getting cones tatted on his face, he'll get on it.
Though he's nowhere to be found, it would be hilarious to see this Tennessee all-star come out the woodwork and leave jaws on the floor. His track record includes bangers such as "Cheese and Dope," "North North," and "Blunt to My Lips," which all show the type of damage Project can do to a dark, heavy bass beat. 'Nuff said.
If Pat doesn't do it, perhaps Juicy J will … since he's back on the scene with that Wiz Khalifa "Black & Yellow" remix – which was supremely dope.
Another artist I feel can murder this beat would be Eminem. We saw what he did to Nick Minaj's "Roman's Revenge."
Since Wale is "rumored" to be a part of Rick Ross' Maybach Music imprint and slowly making his transition down South, he can probably go in.
The way Busta Rhymes rips DJ Khaled remixes, he can do it here too, and I bet no one would do it "badder badder badder badder."
