I was listening to the radio last night at work and DJ Cosmic Kev had a 15 min set of a bunch of the 'A Milli' remixes. The hottest beat since 'I Get Money' and everyone has done one. Heres some pointless rankings and thoughts on a bunch of them.
Cassidy - http://youtube.com/watch?v=zrOHv2BAJ9w
2 1/2 Milli's
Cass is a solid philly punchline rapper who seems like hes not going to reach the pop fame that he once looked like he was going too but hes starting to become a vet of the game. Cassidy as veteran rapper bitching about young ringtone rappers doesn't work for me. Cassidy drilling punchlines is what I want. This had too much of the latter and not enough of the former but he still had a bunch of good lines. "catch a case an start talkin like teddy ruxpin" If Cassidy wants to stick to being the punchline king of philly he needs to step his game up. He's a below Ab-Liva, Freck Billionaire, and Gillie Da Kid in the philly punchline power rankings right now.
Lil' Mama - http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZdntRUE4l_c
3 1/2 Milli's
Lil' Mama is the 'Lip Gloss' girl and she outshines many of the dudes who have done this 'A Milli' thing. After hearing this I'm about to give Lil' Mama the female rapper crown when Khia hangs up the mic. Very good work.
Jadakiss - http://youtube.com/watch?v=GlqoAE3y2tU
2 Milli's
Jada isn't really the guy to ride this beat and doesn't really know what to do with it. He just spits his typical D-Block Jada mixtape verse.
Cory Gunz - http://youtube.com/watch?v=Jxkso5ckb3I
5 Milli's
Why wasn't this on the album? Did Wayne drop the whole Milli album concept after Gunz murdered him on his own shit? Or was that just a syrup induced lie? The gold standard that all other A Milli remixes should be compared too. BARACK WITH THEM OBAMAS!!!
Mims - http://youtube.com/watch?v=uMvSc4K_b74
2 1/2 Milli's
The this is why I'm hot guy does a not so bad job and drills a couple punchlines. I've heard some not so bad stuff from Mims so maybe he can be the new Joe Budden and record a bunch of songs about how much it sucks to have a hit single under your belt.
Papoose - http://youtube.com/watch?v=UnLq94QfMbw
1 Milli
I want Papoose and Saigon to battle rap each other to death.
Gillie Da Kid Bump J Meek Millz Peedi Crakk - http://youtube.com/watch?v=JEj9PbOOK2k
4 Milli's
Gillie Da Kid has gone from bitter former ghostwriter for Lil Wayne to a guy whos made quite the buzz for himself in Philly. Peedi kills this like almost no other and the video (who records a video for a remix of a song?) is amazing with claymation fishes and crabs smoking blunts.
Fabolous - http://youtube.com/watch?v=q3vXgggPZ54
4 1/2 Milli's
Fabolous when hes on his game is the best punchline guy in the game. For whatever reason he always seems to be on his game in the summer and this is the peak of the Fabolous game. Drills punchline after punchline. This beat was made for him.
Jay - Z - http://youtube.com/watch?v=2jdP93GAydw
1 Milli's
While its kinda cool the king of hip hop would rap over this he doesn't do a very good job. Sounds like an old man who is desperately trying to stay hip and relevant. Jigga a Phil Collins reference isn't hip in the least dawg. Lil' Mama smokes Jay.
