Would you look what the ape drug in.
Whoever told this burly ass, King Kongasuras he was a Pop star sells snow to Eskimos and charges extra for ice cubes. Admittedly, the song is decent for what’s it’s trying to accomplish but herein lies the problem with our B/C-level artists nowadays.
Following trends instead of carving deeper into the niche they already created for themselves. Any A&R with common sense would tell you Baby Zoe should be crafting even more trunk rattlin’, hood ni##a nonsense to make the masses’ speakers pop instead of pretending like he’s not hopping on the Auto-Tune express. We already know he’s addicted to formulas, but with Wayne absent for the video and most likely the radio edit, it seems like a wasted effort does it not?
And they wonder why people haven’t gotten tired of Jeezy and Gucci yet…

It’s a song that works best without any visuals attatched.
Man Zoes Dope!
Fuck this dude!
*Plays Vandalyzm’s “Megatron Majorz” yet again*
One.
so no longer is it watches/chains/money. it’s “oh im so lonely and depressed”.
emo-hop, thanks mr west. for the next shitty trend in the rap game.
*waiting for the next “cobain” to come kill this, like he did with 80′s rock*
Good track, and good video.
atleast its something new, i like the song and video
I can’t front, the execution was solid and the visuals fit. I’m more surprised than you are…
ay, some friends of mine apparently saw Gorilla Zoe at a target in Jackson, MS. He’s one of those cats that drives a truck with his face on it…smh.
friend: “Really? Hm, I thought he’d made it…guess not”
I CAN”T be mad at a Drumma Boy track……DAMN YOU DRUMMA BOY!
Thank you g4s-you said it all. That’s why I am really not too hot on Kanye, (new)Common, Lupe (skate board rap? is that a joke?), and all those other guys with the same sound. All these dudes are going EMO. I respect the fact that they are trying a different direction but too bad that direction is FUCKING GAY. I’m famous boo hoo hoo; NO SHIT that’s what happens when you “blow up”!! There are haters and psycho fans everywhere, deal with it or get out of the game.
Expressing your emotions in a manly way = jazz or soul music
Whatever the hell kind of rap is out now = gay (no offense to those homosexuals out there-but even you gotta admit, this shit is lame and played out).
Who will be the next “Kurt Cobain” of rap? Remains to be seen. Being from NJ I nominate Redman
Forgot to add: this track is MEH. I like the new approach but this just in: You are Gorilla Zoe – you are not sensitive. All the dude’s bangers sound the same so why not try something new.
**in the above post, you can feel free to replace gay or emo with METRO. I’d take gay or emo anyday over metro. Since men become women?!
Original Dude, man emotional power rap goes back to the days of Big Daddy Kane and EPMD back in the 80s, ain’t no new concept.
But yeah I like track and video.
If Scarface had done it then everybody would be like hey Mind Playin Tricks on Me 2008.
I thought I was the only one feeling this, glad to get some reassurance up in here. I like this side of him, as long as it doesn’t become a regular thing. ^ So true on the ‘Face comment..
For the record, Amp is correct. Or atleast the version w/ Lil Weezy coulda worked for a video..for obvious reasons!
Original, please don’t compare Lupe to Kanye, it is insulting.
yall leave zoe alone … he just tryin to get his money
