Master P - Tell Em'
Yup. I just played it now, and you're right...The thing I hate about P's stuff now is that he skimps on the verses to make more room for the choruses (or hooks) and chanting. It used to be that P's verses would be at least sixteen bars, sometimes even longer (i.e., "Back Up Off Me", from THE ICE CREAM MAN).
I think he underestimates the intelligence of today's listeners. Does he think that fans "won't pay attention" to longer verses?
And then he starts that pussified chanting at the end ("East Coast do yo' thang/West Coast do yo thang," etc.) All that time that P's wasting on repetitious chanting, he could be making the verses longer (especially the second verse, which is only ten bars). I feel like I'm listening to a cheerleader at a pep rally rather than a rapper. P, it's called "Rap", not "chant." You say you're going back to the "old you", or whatever, but you ain't.
PEACE!
