DJ Khaled ft. Various Artists – All I Do Is Win (Remix)

Friday, April 30th, 2010

DJ Khaled

Still riding the success of the second single off his latest album Victory, today DJ Khaled brings us an extra five minutes of All I Do is Win in the form of an official remix. Unsurprisingly, Khaled uses the same “more is better” approach we’ve seen him take before (ex. Out Here Grindin) and here recruits a whole catalog of rappers: Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz and T-Pain, (out of breath now) to each take turns spitting their eight bars in an attempt to add to this tracks winning percentage. Using the same DJ Nasty beat as the original, the real surprise here is hearing DJ Khaled himself dropping a few bars in the beginning, showing he can do more than just yell over tracks. With every rapper on the planet spitting lines, there should be a likable verse for everyone out there, no matter your taste. Can Khaled keep his winning streak in the Booth alive with this remix? That’s up to you.

Game ft. Justin Timberlake & Pharrell Williams – Aint No Doubt About It

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Game

It’s hard to know what to expect from west coast rider “don’t call me the” Game lately. One minute we’re listening to the atrocious P**sy Fight, the next we’re being hit with an over twenty minute 400 Bar (Freestyle), and today Jayceon is breaking us off with Ain’t No Doubt About It, perhaps the most radio-friendly track of his career, an effect that’s no doubt due primarily to yet another head-noddingly electronic beat from Pharrell and a smooth hook from Justin Timberlake (who thought we’d see the day when a former boy band member was the hookman on a “gangsta” rapper’s track?). Oh yeah, Game’s rhymes. While the Black Wall Street tycoon’s lines aren’t exactly quotable, or even particularly memorable, they do get the job done. In other words, he kind of sounds like a guest artist on his own track. So how about it? Does anyone doubt this track’s appeal? Honestly, I now have no idea what to expect when Game’s upcoming R.E.D. Album finally drops on June 15, but I’ve got my calendar marked.

Shane Eli – I’m a Winner [Premiere]

I'm a Winner [Premiere]

With the rave Booth reviews he garnered for previously-featured cuts Grey Area and Knuckle Up, Shane Eli has every reason to feel like a champ – but even the highest praise from outside parties is no replacement for a healthy dose of self-esteem. On newly-leaked mixtape cut I’m a Winner (making its world premiere in the Booth!), the L.A. hopeful gives himself a much-deserved pat on the back, taking a lyrical victory lap over his own upbeat, organ-laced production. There’s no denying Eli’s mic skills, or his versatility on both sides of the boards – could he be destined, as he prophesizes here, to develop into “greatest of all time” material?” It’s a little (OK, a lot) early to start speculating, but we can’t discount the possibility. In the meantime, fans can look forward to hearing plenty more from this prodigiously talented up-and-comer on his forthcoming, DJBooth.net-sponsored mixtape, The Push.
