thank you I dont think alot of people know the version that got him famous, check out the original version on the porch freestlylin live , google it under best freestlyle ever lmao much respect to the DON
They should have kept this as raw as possible. I like the porch video much better. Taking this kinda talent and trying to studio it takes away the rawness he has in his words. He had a dope beat for this cut sitting on the porch that beat should have been repeated in the studio.
Maurice Skillern Hardout. As a mixing engineer/producer myself, can safetly say I have no idea why they kept like 5 voices layered throughout the whole song. Good way to kill the dynamics of his vocal performance. Layering should be used to emphasize specific lyrics/parts of the song. The beat is .. okay I guess, but the tempo is all wrong, they shoulda really locked in the tempo so that it feels more natural, with bounce and pace. Glad that an EP ended up being made that was all just pen/lighter/piece of wood feels haha, that's where he shines a an artist.
Production wise this is amature as fuck.....buuuuut. I think he should get in with some of the guys who worked with Killer Mike, Bone Crusher, and if he gets an opportunity to get in the studio with T.I. he needs to jump on that fast. You can turn down deals all day long....but it would be foolish for his style to turn down the best producers in the country of his stylistic genre.
All the commenters are right. If you overproduce the Don it obscures the real talent. The porch version had more whip to it. All this production masks the originality and talent and the pacing is off too.
what tha hell did just happen.... oh my fuckin god the acapella version has been so much better this version is like puttong salt into your ice instead of sugar the moment when you realize that he fucked up
nah, they need to just make an instrumental that more closely matches his own vocal intonations when he makes the music. Something more soulful. I keep imagining a real brass type instrument or horn for this song on the original.
I like the acappella shit alpoko don does but if he wants to make it big he needs to have instrumentals but it needs to have allot of bass it will reflex the acappella
GREENVILLE THATS MY HOME IT GET DIRTY HERE IT AIN'T NOTHIN FOR AH NIGGA TO GET MARDERED HERE BIG FACTZ BIG FACTZ 864 BOY 4 LIFE FREETOWN TO DA BONE LLJ-BONE
They killed the Tempo. Literally, they took the true, original, rhythm it was sung originally at and slowed it too much. I was hunting for the speed setting on this video to speed it back up to original, but 1.25x is too fast. and Normal is too slow.
My homie from Greenville SC most hated city in the universe stra8 factz he should of stick with Jeezy instead of Ross but the demons brought him down now he's backkkk in action studio play check out trouble man prince . Ricky prince ..daze Carter . Most envy all from SC
Need to remix this song bring his Voice out more. You hear more music than the rap.. Seriously I don't like the music need some guitars, Bass and horns in this song. I would have fuck funk this up.. I hear it in my head!!
Love the porch version but this hits hard in the truck when ridding.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Now Kids...close ya'll eyes...headphone on..?! Welcome to the 90's 🔥🔥🔥
Legit.
I just came across this dude's porch video the other day. Reminded me of some MC Eiht type 90s shit.

Yee yee.. lol.. it flips it to like a dmx sound or something..
Good call!! It's way better!
My year
Wish it had the same tempo as the porch version. Still bad ass tho
Imagine this with a Live Band..
A college marching band would kill it
i actually enjoy this.
I think the beat is sick!
I agree.. still straight though
All the commenters are right. If you overproduce the Don it obscures the real talent. The porch version had more whip to it. All this production masks the originality and talent and the pacing is off too.
This goes hard
Going back to the porch .duece.
I love it
what tha hell did just happen.... oh my fuckin god the acapella version has been so much better this version is like puttong salt into your ice instead of sugar
the moment when you realize that he fucked up
Still fire
Raw bro
damn they fucked this up
nah, they need to just make an instrumental that more closely matches his own vocal intonations when he makes the music. Something more soulful. I keep imagining a real brass type instrument or horn for this song on the original.
My homie
Yea the porch version was better you just need that beat to speed up lil bit and it would sound the same as the porch
The dude got it right the first time, now its just another rap song that never made it
This shit hard yall
this shit slap!
U need have half pint films to shoot your video hed hook it up..look em up

I agree that the porch version is better but this kinda sounds like a Jeezy song
The porch version was mo fii, salute tho

He's over produced here. He doesn't sound unique on this kinda production. This makes him sound like everyone else
playback speed 1.25
Speed: 1.25 (your welcome)
Beat is too hard drowns him out too he soulda just used the porch one he made

Destroyed that freestyle. Im no rapper. I just appreciate good music. Original video is on point. This is annoying. Sounds it too
my nigga!!!
The beat is weak, it should be a little faster ,no corny bells, and way to many strings going on. Make it raw with drums and bass
Agree. This beat doing too much. Synth, Bass, Snare. That's it; less is more.
Need to remix this song bring his Voice out more. You hear more music than the rap.. Seriously I don't like the music need some guitars, Bass and horns in this song. I would have fuck funk this up.. I hear it in my head!!
Redo this traack GET IT RAW BACK TO THE PORCH SOUND WRONG INSTRUMENTS CHOSEN I UNDERSTAND MUSIC I'M TELLIN U GO BACK TO DA STUDIO..
The studio version takes away from his rhymes and lyrics.
The music too commmmercial not hard enough for the lyrics. Dont let'em change your flow, sooo much better without the music.......

Hell naw leave it as the porch version don't like this
This is awful.
Don't like this version . Its not friendly..don't like the images either..i prefer the downhome version.
