Cop or Drop? DJ Bone reviews the singles
Cop or Drop? is a series on Dummy where we invite a musician to either slate or rate the singles we present them with. In the hot seat this week… having just announced his 10-hour ‘Homeless Homies‘ fundraiser rave next month at ADE, with Peggy Gou, KiNK, Deetron and more locked to spin, DJ Bone delivers the verdict on some hip-hop, EDM, indie and more…
“…Even if you got money, still lookin’ for more.” Love this line. Metaphors and cadence on this joint, not Pusha’s best work. I chalk it up to this being an ode to OGs locked up. Still a fan of him though. Also love the growling bassline towards the end. And I could listen to Ms. Lauryn Hill’s voice all day every day! Every syllable from her sublime voice soothes the soul.”
“This one struck me as an idea that needed to be stripped down a bit in order to make it work better. It never really achieves a consistent groove at any point. Plus I am indeed not a fan of preset, trance-y/EDM-ish electronic synth stabs. A bit too all over the place for my taste. I’m sure others will disagree but that’s the beauty of opinions.”
“Very artistic. I’ve always been a fan of backwards visuals so I like this video a lot. This was about being different and brave with a beautifully simple song containing a simple message, “I need a little prayer,” in all its simplicity. I found the song very likeable and catchy. I thought the one-shot aspect of filming was dope as well. Choreography was on point too. I’d watch this video over and over.”
“Music on this one isn’t really my vibe but I can still be objective here. I think the video is very creative and looks good. It also tells a story that coincides with the song’s title. As for the song, I think it could easily fit as part of a movie soundtrack and work very well.”
“Zumba.”
