Do you remember when Lil' John was a certified hit maker? Get Low, Yeah... the man had a string of hits. A Lil' John feature was a sure fire way to be at the top of the charts.
That time has passed, but Gorilla Zoe didn't get that memo.
Good grief, I heard this song and then checked out the video, and my first thought was the same as the YouTube commentors. Gorilla Zoe is trying to be Timbaland!
Dude, we have plenty of dance and drink in the club songs, and we didn't need your lane addition to the genre.
There's not anything in the lyrics worth dissecting. Gorilla Zoe needs to develop some musical coherence before he tries to do any reinventions. He came out initially as part of Boyz n da Hood, dropped Hood N*gga as his first solo single, and then went off the rails. When he released the song Lost, I believed it, because it was a terrible departure. Not even a Lil' Wayne verse could save that (primarily because it was one of Wayne's heavily auto-tuned verses. Never a good look).
Zoe should just accept the fact that he was a one hit wonder, and quit while he's ahead. This whack track isn't doing him any favors. Zoe isn't being Zoe on this track, he's trying to follow a road to success that's been forged by others. (That only work if you're Lady Gaga).
