$tatlito - Aberration
(From Attention, Tithes & Taxes EP; 2013)
2 Things :
1. It annoys me that $tarlito often doesn't even bother to write choruses nowadays, but better hookless tracks like this where he can show his pen/flow off than tracks where his writing and voice are disrupted by schmaltzy Robin Raynelle crooning.
2. That time I compared 'lito's croak flow to Clarence "The Frogman" Henry's vocal gimmick really should've been voted as the best music criticism of 2012.
i like that starlito rarely writes hooks. not only do i think it means the verses are longer (though i've never checked to see if that's true), but it usually means i can listen to the song more times without getting bored/annoyed by a hook--whether it's good or bad. at first i didn't think ATT was anything special, but after listening to it five or six times, i think it's very good just like just about everything lito puts out.
ReplyDeleteHis hook on Rap Music Ruined My Life is one of the realest things in his entire catalogue.
