G-Eazy - Lady Killers II

This week I have chosen a song from the very well known G-eazy called Lady Killers II. However, this song is much less known than the artist himself. This song is a remix of a previous song he wrote called Lady Killers. It has a very similar hook, a little more up-tempo beat, but a completely different rap. I personally like this song much more and find it to be a perfect cross of mellow music and pump up music. It is a little bit dub-stepy, but still has some great rhymes in it. The best lyrics of this song are hard to distinguish because G-eazy really only raps about girls and drugs, however, I am still a huge fan. If I had to choose though, at the beginning of the song there is a pretty good part where he rhymes a solid five bars all ending with words sounding like killer, and he says “cold like burr, make you shiver”. I think this is pretty clever, and should probably be recognized at the “best lyrics” of this song. Another very clever part of this song is the album cover: the original “Lady Killers” is on an album called “Must Be Nice”, and the album cover for this single is “Must Be Twice”.

Gerald Earl Gillum is a twenty-five year old rapper from Oakland, California. Better known by his stage name: G-eazy, and also referred to as the “James Dean of Rap”, due to his good looks and all of the ladies he gets. Being a white rapper, G-eazy definitely has a disadvantage in the rapping industry, but he doesn’t really follow a traditional rapping style. Unlike many rappers in today’s industry, G-eazy isn’t really a “gansta (or) ghetto rapper’’, he is more of a gentle rapper that doesn’t use harsh language most of the time. Also, he usually loses respect from the big time rappers because he includes girls singing in almost all of his songs. However, I like his style, and he has definitely made a name for himself in the present rap industry.

G-eazy has released much music throughout his career, however, in the early stages, he was unable to produce and release it because of his low budget. Aside from that, he has six mix tapes, 3 Eps (Extended Plays), and one debut album called “These Things Happen”. His album has many hits, and people all around the world know most, if not every song on it, and can usually sing along to the songs. G-eazy is an amazing artist, with his own style, that has worked his way to the top of the rap industry that deserves a lot of respect and gratitude for his hard work.
