When you have Pitbull and LMFAO sharing a track, with DJ “I’m The Shit” Class providing the relentless hip-house production work, it’s basically a given that while very little depth is about to be achieved, the late-teens/ early-twenty-something crew will eat it up with no hesitation.
Grown folks, prepare yourselves: you’re going to be hearing “Hold on/ It’s won’t take long/ Let me put this rubber on” and “Five kids, she must love to fuck/ And like a squirrel, I’m-a save her a nut” chanted non-stop by the kiddies for probably the rest of the year.
With “I’m The Ish/ Shit” (and it’s manystar-ladenremixes) continuing to pierce the hearts of dance, hip hop and pop lovers alike around the globe, the song’s creator, DJ Class, now seems intent on maintaining this new plateau of mainstream-edging fame.
Class’ newest cut, no-brainer future club staple “Dance Like A Freak”, sees him cooking up a near-overwhelming ear assault of minor key taps, Prince-like drums and blurting synths as continued inspiration for the sexy dancefloor babe who’s got every set of male eyes in the spot fixated on her every sensuous shimmy.
Her choreography is so hypnotizing, it’s turned the robo-vocalled Class into a stalker-ish fool, invading her headspace with nosy digs into her personal info (“Lemme get your phone number…”; “Tell me where you stay at…”) before quickly moving to bank account-denting promises of whisking her and her friends away on a trip through the skies. And just in case she’s not easily swayed, he makes clear she fully understands how legit his big baller status is, matter-of-factly adding “No I don’t fly Delta/ We charter up at ‘Million-Air’”.
The perfect successor to “Ish” (the uber-annoying Ron “Jumping Out The Window” Browz should take notes; this is how you do Auto-Tune-enhanced club anthems right), “Dance Like A Freak” should have plenty of bodies following it’s titular order long enough to sustain DJ Class’ appeal until his new album, Alameda & Coldspring, drops later on this year.
Can’t wait to see what rapper jumps on this one first!!
“Okay Yeezy/ You know I had to touch this/ It feels so…so European”, giggles Estelle, the latest artist to attach her name to DJ Class‘ increasingly popular “Bmore club”-turned-nationwide anthem “I’m The Shit”.
Giving us a little “American Boy” reunion by embedding herself into the Kanye West-assisted version (alternate takes include guest contributions from Lil’ Jon, Pitbull, Jermaine Dupri and Trey Songz), the self-tagged Stelly-Stelle gets appropriately braggalicious against “Shit”‘s delirious dancefloor workout, dishing out boasts of a fierce fashion game that’s got all the “fashion papers talkin’”. But the winner of Best Line would have to go to this verse-concluding lyrical middle finger to all those gossip-page haters: “Got these gold-bottomed braces just to match my Grammy, bitch!!”. Three snaps up, Estelle.
As nice as it is to get free music, think of how much better your soul would feel if you purchased it the old-fashioned way.
