Single: Cut From A Different Cloth
Artist: Joe Budden feat. Ab-Soul
Released: November 20, 2012
Looks like we got an early “thanks” from Joe Budden, as he delivers to us his anticipated A Loose Quarter mixtape ahead of schedule.
Joey joins forces with TDE’s secret weapon Ab-Soul on “Cut From A Different Cloth”. The track finds both emcees going in on a Cardiak beat, boasting their lyrical ability. Soulo convinces that he is one not to be continued to be slept on.
“Come and spar with a titan
If you ain’t knew it’s true I’m Zeus and I marvel at lightning
What a marvelous sight, know the thought is enticing
Flow stupid like 50 Tyson…”
All the while Budden takes shots to over saturated state of lyrically talent-less rappers in the mainstream culture.
“Y’all got Gollum, listening to all these dudes that y’all call lyrical
Excluding under conclusion
That you young and you dumb if that’s how they appear to you…
I came in on Rakim, watch y’all take the bar, y’all lowered it
Won’t stay in line like a battered wife, ain’t too many spots y’all can go with it
How long y’all gonna febreeze manure and think the fans won’t notice it?”
That there sure provokes a thought about what you listening to!
“Cut From A Different Cloth” is a perfect collab between two lyrically skilled rappers that are often overlooked. Listen up!
A Loose Quarter includes feautures from Ab-Soul, Emanny, Royce Da 5’9, among others. You can download the project here.
