LA Weekly: Felli Fel Feature
This article may only have regional appeal, as Felli Fel’s celebrity is certainly strongest in LA, where he has held it down as Power 106’s version of Funkmaster Flex for the past nine years. Granted, “Get Buck In Here,” the break-out first single from Fel’s forthcoming Go DJ EP is a far cry from the best moments on those first three Funk Flex mixtapes, yet it succeeds in its modest ambitions. The track’s sole intent is to sound good played at ear-splitting levels in a club. And it does. Maybe, it’s just the Luda verse, but I’ll take “Get Buck” over “Low” or “Buy You a Drink” any day of the week. Honestly, the only thing I want to drink when I hear a T-Pain song is hemlock. Mmm…hemlock.

The video for “Get Buck In Here” made war orphans cry because people all over the world would be forced to witness such an atrocity.
Someone at Def Jam needs to be slapped with a glove and challenged to a duel at ten paces with a flintlock pistol…nah, fuck that…a blunderbuss.
One.

It’s no “Speedin” video.
Also: nice usage of the phrase “blunderbuss.” I might need to pilfer that one.

editor’s note: i believe it’s fabolous, not fabulous. but, otherwise, good piece– i am continually impressed with your blogging and outside writing.

i’ll give you that “Buy U a Drank” is gah-bage (although i’d take it over this song,) but “Low” is the only song i’ve liked involving T-Pain not named “Good Life.”
the new Timfloland (ooh i’m clever) is better though.
