E-40 "White Gurl" the best track of '06 so far
- Thread starter nofx
- Start date
Yo, i was born in the 70's and I bought that OG shit in the 80's. Dangerous Dame, Whodini, UTFO, LL Cool J, Too Short, Boogie Boys, LA Dream team, Stacey Q were all gettin knocked in my ghetto blaster. The reason that song is getting noticed cuz the beat makes it stand out. Only two beats stand out on 40's album...White Gurls and Tell me when... As soon as the beat drops, non-heads feel it. I think true heads (who never heard the original) might think the beat is corny, but trust that's the cross over track right there. If that was the second single, 40 would be platinum now...if it could be made into a single.
Anyways, you all need to get off that "white girls think that song's about them" Let them have that. I knew a lot black women who thought "brown sugar" was about them when it first came out. Metaphor or not, 40 is still chanting "White girl" in the chorus and that gets white girls hyphy...and for a non discriminating brother, that's cool.

Ive never seen this much of a 50/50 split over a single song, ever.
I personally love the shit. But I FULLY understand why some of you guys dont.. it couldnt be clearer. And I dont know why more of "the people who like it" cant see that. We dig the old school sounding beat.. the lyrics that are simple both lyrically and structurally.. and everything else having to do with it.
But it makes sense that some people also dont like that.

I like the track....its a solid 3 1/2 stars IMO....I love the 808s behind the basic ass drum pattern....I have yet to see a white girl listen to the shit, but I can only imagine them getting all juiced thinking the song's about them....I fully understand why people wouldn't like the song....hell, I hate the "feels like I'm your pussy when your sucking my dick" song and the "just fucking" song....and I can only bump "happy to be here" twice a month
appreciating old school music doesn't change the fact that 80's hip hop was garbage compared to what cats are doing today.

I wouldn't call it garbage at all... back when it came out, it was just as hot and anticipated as music in this day and age is. The bar gets raised everytime and the evolution of music is always a factor. Back in the 80's producers didn't have Tritons, MPC 3000's, etc... they made due with what they had. The evolution of music includes the addition and luxury of having these various state of the art tools to create higher quality music nowadays.
