Kanye, Pusha, CyHi, Big Sean & J. Cole are “Looking for Trouble” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/08/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Kanye West, J. Cole, Big Sean, Pusha T, Good Friday, CyHi Da Prynce

I was listening to the entire "Good Friday" series over the weekend, and the one thing I kept coming back to time and time again is the production. "The Joy"? "Don't Stop"? A lot of producers don't put out anything that dope in their entire careers, and Kanye West's knocking them out in a weekly basis. Could he be....the best producer alive?

And then, in the midst of all my beat-making pondering, Ye went and dropped "Looking for Trouble", a record that's clearly intended to be first and foremost meant to showcase lyricism. Mission accomplished. Pusha T, who's quickly becoming Yeezy's constant sidekick, crushes his verse in typical cocaina fashion, Kanye comes through with some damn good punchlines ("I'm pissed, the misogyny, bad bitches massaging me" and CyHi continues to impress. But it's the work of Big Sean, who despite some of my previous doubts absolutely crushes this verse, and J. Cole, who reminds us that he's still not overhyped, that will have people talking. Speaking of which, let's get right to it.

On a random closing note, what the hell is CyHi's official name? On his Twitter and in the emails I get from him it's "CyHi Da Prynce", but the "Good Friday" people have been spelling it "The Prynce" this entire series. Pick one and go with it Cy. Small detail I know, but it's the small details that always drive me crazy.

matza	After having seen the video which features CyHi freestyling and doing some strange movements with both his hands meanwhile, I now call him DoubleDrizzy because Drake usually uses one hand spazzing, while CyHi is able to do that with both hands, congratulations! And because I can imagine him waving his hands like a maniac while recording the verse, my vote goes to him.

FredRico	It's easy to give props to J. Cole, he's above pretty much anyone who's not a G.O.A.T. contender, but the second best in this song is being unfairly given to Big Sean, imo... what about CyHi?! His delivery was a lot better than Sean's, that only spit fast and not impressively at that (he sounded awkward, and his lyrics are so good your hear rhymes every 2 seconds.

FredRico	CyHi's lyrics, I mean... I think overall content was also better.

Nathan, you copying bastard, I did the same thing after "Looking For Trouble" came out, and I told someone the exact conclusion you came to. 'Ye is definitely top 3 at the very least.

As far as the track goes, I wish Kanye's verse was longer, but J. Cole definitely murdered this.

Something G.O.O.D. Fridays have succeeded in accomplishing is making everyone aware of the new artists on the label. CyHi went from nobody to somebody as the tracks came out (I appreciate him more and more), and I've grown to like Big Sean a lot more than I did earlier this year.
