Modern Warfare From The Young Major! Salute!


In the mist of all the hits and "jack music" Milwaukee has to offer there's some old fashion good time music. In a era where half of the musicians want the be the man "just cause" and have no background to support the argument that they are "the man" besides a few close friends who do the same thing every other artist in Milwaukee claim to be doing, you have to appreciate the artist you seem to have a smile on their face during each verse. Young Major does not present himself to be a lyricist nor does he say so in his verses, but he does profess to having a good time while he drives through the popular streets Milwaukee has to offer and enjoying the ladies in the meantime (how can anyone hate that). Although his newest track Come Over seems to show some of the old fashion good hook and filler verses trend. The summertime style chorus does carry the track quite strongly but for those who look for some substance or play on words in the verse, I must sadly inform you that the verses are simple in content and short in the explanations. I would have liked for Major to stretch the point a bit instead of just talking about "freaking" the girl I would have like to know the story behind the hook maybe gave me details on how the situation went down and the last verse could have went "ham" on the "freaking" part of the song. I think the classic are made due to attention to the details in the song, I'm not asking Major to become one of the Kweli's or Common type lyricist or even stretch his vocab but i will say we all know what happen when you steal a girl from her man, what happens differently from my situation and yours. Unique situations are what draws an audience, Wham offers what I am leading to. Instead of just talking about what kind of speakers and how loud his music is he breaks down what happens normally when your music is loud, what happens when his music is loud, and why he plays his music so loud. This track offers radio listeners a twist on a topic all to familiar which is what Hip Hop needs at this point. Everybody's is doing it but what makes you different from everybody else.
