Product Reviews
Critical darlings they ain t, and with a crew moniker that had to have been stolen from some Japanese techno team, these Ferrari Boyz are designed to make the heads of true hip-hop heads explode, but this 1017 Bricksquad Presents product is labeled a street release, and on that level, it s amusing. Why not chuckle when king Gucci offers Take you to a place that s real private/Lick you down and let you suck my privates in a slurry style that Eli Porter would be feeling? Besides that, hearing Gucci and Waka simultaneously do their name-dropping bits is a delicious kind of ridiculous that s not worth getting stern over, plus the guest list tries hard with lesser-known names like YG Hootie and Slim Dunkin ecstatic to be on such a big release. Without many radio-worthy cuts and both Shawty Redd and Drumma Boy going through their B-list of beats, Ferrari Boyz isn t impactful enough to make it past the already converted, but that street release tag should have already given that up. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
