NYC Shows Plies No Love
Via SPIN:
As Plies’ DJ dropped the first beat of the night, an ugly truth was unveiled: The rapper’s style seemed less like the future of the genre and more like its mediocre present — his set was heavy on crunktastic Southern beats and light on artistry or word craft. Worse, not one song was properly finished, including “Please Excuse My Hands” and “Who Hotter Than Me,” both from 2008’s Definition of Real, and “Shawty,” a track originally featuring T-Pain found on 2007’s The Real Testament.
As if this is a surprise to anyone. Plies, in New York City and they’re supposed to go wild? I can’t see it. And the people at VIBE should be slapped for calling him the “future of rap”.

I AGREE ANYBODY THAT KNOW SOMETHING BOUT THE HISTORY OF HIP-HOP WOULD SEND PLIES AXILE. CHOKAY? CHOKAY.
