Review by Steve 'Flash' Juon
Artist: 2 Pistols
Title: She Got It
Label: Universal Republic On the surface this single is as formulaic as they get. The beat is a slow-flowing J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League production, heavy on synthesized organs and bass. Crooner T-Pain provides a voice modulated hook designed to objectify women: "I know she got it cause she lookin at me like she want it/She droppin low, make me wanna throw some D's on it/Whatever it is, you cain't stop it/cause she get low, when she on that flo'/And that lets me know - she got it." 2 Pistols raps like a lost member of Cash Money Records; perhaps we can call him Birdman Jr. Jr. There's even an unknown by the name of Tay Dizm trying to ride 2 Pistols' coattails on the way to fame. Wait a minute - surface appearances be damned, this IS as formulaic as they get! It's a meaninglessly vapid song designed to chart, and solely on the strength of the beat and T-Pain's hook it will do just that, but as a rapper 2 Pistols leaves me totally flat.
