The picnic table in a white room (w/ concrete walls, or maybe outside) is a greatly appreciated gallery showcase of Core™ water + Wise™ chips & snacks @ the backyard party. SOMEHOW these snacks and refreshments transfer aqua-marine visual environments right into you. How could such a crisp 3D underwater screensaver somehow be summoned by (1) vending machine goodies and (2) some new brand of bottled water? Well, Benny Boom understands the art of branding; after listening to “Low” my whole house is filled with these special varieties of chips and water.
“Low” is a triumph. The word “tour de force” get’s thrown around all the time — it’s French (?) and powerful sounding. When I hear that aphoristic, critics-only phrase I visualize Nolan’s entire Inception experience distilled down to an electric-blue fog whipping around inside a hurricane. Oddly enough, this exact fog is pouring out the exhaust pipes of ATVs spinning all around that SAME backyard party mentioned above ^^^. Coincidences everywhere. Here’s another one — I first heard this track while driving across North Carolina, specifically on the Greensboro radio station 102 Jamz. I immediately pulled over and bought TWO ginseng-honey Arizona™ teas, drank them both, and prayed to a religious God (authentically) for the first time ever. Hence, tour de force.
Young Thug’s presence is essential — he transforms the whole thing into a sweet hymn. Dude’s got a golden, angelic, bat shit crazy voice. The first time I heard “Stoner” I knew he had it in him to completely break everything. His verse in Rich Gang’s “Lifestyle” was vomit-y — truly unbelievable shit, I mean the kind of thing that makes grown ass women and men have breakdowns (existential, political, midlife, etc.) in vehicles all across America. The slinky, dunked-in-three-types-of-syrup hook on “Danny Glover” was the nail in the coffin for me. Young Thug, and the entire “Low” track, really make an effort to explain to you (listener, reader, etc.) that you shouldn’t ever be a hater unless you absolutely have to, unless you have no other choice. Considering the entire universe I think we have some choices here, although some people try to argue otherwise. Choose “Low.”
