Freddie Gibbs, Bun B, Chip tha Ripper, Chuck Inglish and Dan Auerbach, “Oil Money” MP3

July 23, 2010


One of these things is not like the others, and it is Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys singing the chorus. Mainly though, this is a promising collaborative effort from a fairly random group of rappers that we've written extensively about in the past. You can listen to the song below and judge for yourself. Can we talk about rap groups for a second though? It's been awhile since an actual group did anything. Where are 2010's Wu-Tangs? A DJ Khaled posse cut does not mean the same thing as a Leaders of the New School record, something about A Tribe Called Quest etc etc etc. We're not expecting these dudes to abandon their solo careers for group records forever, they're all too established (esp. Bun B—but that goes without saying), but it's nice to hear some guys put ego aside and just collaborate on some shit with more than one other person.
