Kanyeezy did well by picking up on this young cat & signing him to G.O.O.D.
When I first heard him on “Get’cha Some” from the Can’t Tell Me Nothing mixtape, I was undecided like I always get with new artists. His voice was intriguingly nasal, almost whiny, and I think that’s what initially caught my attention. Well, that plus his deft wordplay. It left me @ a point where I said to myself, “Self, let’s wait & see what he does on some more songs.” because I feel like I always need to hear @ least five tracks from someone before I can make an accurate judgment.
Now, I can say I’ve heard five tracks and buddy passed my test.
Writing long, wordy reviews isn’t really my thing anymore so I’ll keep it simple…
1.) His style of rhyming is very playful & loosely based on the standard fare of – money, clothes, hoes & the quest of every new rapper, the path to him getting signed.
2.) The way he twists & bends words so that they fit within the beat & the concepts of his rhymes is very sharp. It’s like putting together pieces to a puzzle & he takes out a scalpel to shave off bits for congruency.
3.) This will not be a life-altering listening experience. It is hip-hop though. Fun, light & inspired, well worth a listen.
4.) Tracks worth a cursory listen…
“You”
“Call Me”
“Good Shit”
“All Night”
“Kickin It With Cool C”
“People Mover”
There’s plenty of solid tracks that make this one worth a listen.

Greumst.
Greumsalicious.
That whole mixtape was legit. I’m stoked to see someone new coming off of it – I heard that track and wondered where the fuck he had come from. Great review style, Gotty.
lmao
I’m not a “first” dude, but I’ll keeps it greumsy all day.
Greums shaka lakah
Sean’s tape is definitely worth a cool listen.
You all should all be ashamed of yourselves, Greumsin while Greums is asleep lol.
D-Town!
Never heard of dude, so DLed to support the city. For an artist from the D, you couldn’t have a track titled any doper than, “People Mover.”
I wish I would’ve thought of that.
Yo Gotty I will take ya word for it fam
Greums stickity stickity greums stickity gruems…
I’ve been listening to this joint off and on over the last week or so, and I think dude has potential. He’ll be the “Memphis Bleek” of the crew… not quite Kanye, and no where near Common.
Hey this mixtape is pretty cool, worth the price of Free 99. So im listening to it and wondering if this guy writes for Kanye or is just influenced by him. This one song or line in particular is when he puts that extra emphasis on the word skirt and just other small things about the kids flow. I wondered this not in a negative way but just outta curiosity.
Now’s probably the best time to get our greums on…mama always said greums is as greums does.
^ When the Greums is away…
Greums is played
Is Greums even real
This dude is aight man, you aint let me down
for tribe heads…
‘the luck of Greumsian’
lol @ ‘the Memphis Bleek of the crew’.
almost every ‘crews’ has the ‘young fly guy’.
shyheim, chi ali, bleek, drag-on, jeff (i told you my name is jeff/de la), lil wayne at one point…
Greums is in the heart
continuing on
snoop (for nwa/dre), q-tip (for native toungues), consequence (for tribe), kane (for the juice crew)…
excuse me for babbling. just trying to maintain here @ work…
OC (for Organized Konfusion), Big L (for DITC), feel free to add on to the list…
what up doe?
I can see now that “greums” is about to become the new “smurf.”
And that Big Sean looks interesting. I plan on listening to it this Friday after my last exam, but before I get smashed, grab girls’ asses, vomit, then pass out like nothing ever happened.
The greatest trick the Greums ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn’t exist.
And I love the city of Detroit to death, but that People Mover is pretty laughable as far as public transportation goes.
Where the fuck is the parity, or even the competition, in the NFL this yr? The Pats are servin teams week in & week out.
Sir G, on behalf of Patriots Nation, I humbly apologize for….*giggle*…*um*…
hahahahahaha!
NE’s got a big game to close the regular season out, then the REAL season begins. We’ll see what the playoffs bring. It’s hard to beat a good team twice, which the Pats are going to have to do should they come up against Indy, SD, Pitt or any of the other AFC squads they’ve already murked.

===============================================
True. So true.
And wasn’t the people mover that thing at Disney World that rode past Space Mountain?
harrison, freeney-out
phillip rivers-nope
pittsburgh?-gotta step their consistency up
our biggest opponent is maroney right now
^lol
Maybe he lost all his strength when he shaved his eyebrows.
I’m all about the Browns right now. Not that I expect much if they make the playoffs (which they should), but I’m really happy for Big Romeo. Especially since his success was supposed to be Chuckles’ success at Notre Dame.
ever since the cant tell me nothin mixtape ive been waitin on more music from dude.
‘preciate it.
song with bentley = crack.
^ word…
a LOTTA ppl share that thought. myself included.
Weis is a sucker.
hey yo gotty or anybody got the QDIII remix to too short’s i’m a player??? its the hardest shit to find on mp3 but its sooooooooo riddick somebody hit me up!!!
Ahh nice, imma download this tape now. ‘Getcha some’ was my fave track on that Kanye mixtape that wasnt by Kanye. Dude caught me from the get go with the smooth flow and the slick wordplay.
He’ll be the “Memphis Bleek” of the crew… not quite Kanye, and no where near Common.
=========================
I think the kid has more potential than Bleek. My only problem is that He seems like a ‘Ye Stan. His flow is completely derivative, not that that’s a bad thing neccesarily. With some better production, I think Dude could be better than the rest of the G.O.O.D. Music stable. Of course, not Com, but at least as good as Consequence. GLC & Really Doe haven’t impressed me & Bentley’s joint should drop Neveruary 31st.

Sorry about the doubled comments…I thought WordPress was supposed to catch that?
P.S.= What brought on the Ma$e upload?
10 years of hate & counting….
The song w/Fonsworth is poppin only b/c I, too, jot stuff down & Google it. Suprised the shit out of me lol. And that’s even knowing that chances are he didn’t write those lyrics. Gotta be able to spit’em though, so I guess he learned that from Diddy.
Amp – GLC is that dude so I gotta disagree. None of them are going to sell millions & won’t appeal to a broad fanbase. But they’ve all got a certain flair to their rhyme styles that I love man.
who made those beats? sean’s
good pass along, gotty. i’m d/l asap.
Bitchhhhhhhhhhh !
Let That Greums Breathe !
The Roc Greums !
greums is back homies !!! hhahhaa
don’t panic lol !!
peace y’all !
Sean is an inspiration too alot of new and upcoming artist. keep doing your thing!!!!!
“OH MY JESUS”
The mixtape kept me listening for 3 weeks.. so hes got talent, shame about G.O.O.D music label being full of rediciously talented guys.. like him more than Consq.
^ you were warned lol.
That “People Mover” track was probably my favorite. It’s produced by this dude Alo Genius, also out of Detroit, who’s coming up in the game.
The mixtape was crispy. Hands down one of the best mixtapes from the freshman class.
