This is going to be my last blog post of quarter to and I decided that it should go out with a bang, literally. That’s why this week I have picked a super sick song by Marty Grimes featuring G-eazy called Bang Bang. This is one of my favorite songs at the moment, and it is pretty fresh, dropping earlier in the 2014 year. However, the first time I heard it was about a month ago and I fell in love with it instantly, especially G-eazy’s part. This song just has all the perfect components: a great beat, sick hook, and some tight versus from some of the rappers around. On my last post I talked about how important I think it is that rappers have clever or flowy lyrics when the beat drops that sound good when the beat drops. That’s another reason why I like this song so much, it does a great job doing that and the beat just gets me pumped up. Also, in past posts, I’ve talked about when a song gives you chills, there is something really special about it, and G-eazy’s part in this songs gives me chills almost every time. It is also a unique song for him because I haven’t heard many songs that he is featured in, he raps much faster than usual, and he doesn’t even mention something about girls or drugs at all. Though it’s much different than the usual, I really like it. As for Marty Grimes, his parts are pretty sick and go along with the beat well, though it’s kinda hard to distinguish what he is saying at times. As for the best lyrics I definitely have to go with when G-eazy says, “Every time I rap now I make it stack, and every time you rap now y’all take a nap.” Or when he says “Now this sh*t BANG, this sh*t BANG.” Though the latter isn’t very clever the ‘bang’ comes from the hook of the song and it sounds really cool when incorporated with G-eazy rapping. Though there are plenty of Marty Grimes’ parts and almost every part from G-eazy’s verse that I could have included, I though those were the best.The explitness in this song is more on the moderate side rather than mild, but still not too bad. Including lots of swear words, but nothing too bad on the drug or sexual reference side. However, since there is no official music video for this song, I provided a video of them on tour, which does involve some pretty heavy explicitness involving drug and sexual exposure.

Some more about Marty Grimes and Young Gerald
Since I have a couple of posts about G-eazy I am going to focus on Marty for this portion. However, if you are looking for some more info on G-eazy, check out my Lady Killers II post. And since Marty is a very new rapper in the industry and I have just recently started listening to him, I don’t know much about him and neither does the internet (something new). But I do know that he has been on tour with G-eazy recently an he is bound to blow up soon, so stay tuned. Also, drop comments for suggestions, feedback, or anything really. And with the quarter almost at its end, it’s likely that I won’t be blogging for a while so to contact me, email me in the gadget above.
