Taking it back

As a man of my word here I am again with a new review for all you interneters.  Now this song is one of my all time favorites.  Its called Girls Ain't Nothin But Trouble by my main man Big Willy.

If you listen for more than one second you should instantly recognize the backing beat.  If not, it is the theme from I Dream of Jeannie.  This is classic Will Smith, before all the movies and all the fame, when he was just getting jiggy with it all the time.  But enough about him lets get on to the song. 

Even though the beat is so noticeable it is very well executed by DJ Jazzy Jeff.  Just like the Will Smith we all know, he tears it up over the beat.  All his rhymes are pretty obvious where he is going, picking names and places for the pure sake of the rhyme.  However, his voice flows very well over the beat and he is good at changing his voice to go where it belongs, for example when he says he is cold and his voice shivers as he rhymes.  During the verse you can hear Big Willy really trying to make his rhymes fast so that he will gain respect from other 90s rappers of the time.  This song is way different that Will Smith in Gettin' Jiggy Wit It and Summertime which is how everyone knows him for.  He is actually a good rapper in this song.

The scratching on the beat is great a very well timed, the verses are good and the song as a whole is amazing.
Enjoy!
