Yes, he's back with his new single, "G.D.F.R.", which my lyric-interpreting skills tell me stands for "goin' down for real". For real? Well, in some ways, Flo Rida might be the "realest" rapper alive, in that he has absolutely no personality whatsoever, just like the everyday schmuck.
The only thing notable about the guy is that he keeps getting upstaged by other more interesting artists... on his own songs!
I can't remember a single thing about this song except the chorus. It's the same thing with "Good Feeling", "Right Round", "Club Can't Handle Me"... all of his songs! So I'm really not expecting anything from this new single, which features Sage the Gemini on the "hook". Anyone remember Sage the Gemini?
Somehow I think Sage the Gemini has crafted a personality out of not having a personality, which is more than Flo Rida has done, but still not enough to save this song. But you know what might be able to save it? A badass remixing of "Low Rider"!
Yeah, now here's a song worth remixing! With its swanky saxophone solo, who could resist? It's been covered by everyone from Korn to Barry White. And now it's in a Flo Rida song. It is easily the best part of the song, while the rest is inane drivel.
I know what you came here to see
If you're a freak, then ya coming home with me
Yeah, thanks Sage. Anything of substance, Flo Rida? Anything?
Your girl just kissed a girl
I do bi chicks
Nope, there's nothing here.
So you guessed it: If it weren't for the sax solo, this song would be totally forgettable in every way. Usually Flo Rida's inane drivel is saved by a catchy hook, but now the catchy hook has been delegated to a catchy beat. It's a Flo Rida song that fails at even being a Flo Rida song. Does this make it better or worse than other Flo Rida songs? Well, that's for the jury to decide. But this is just another forgettable song with one good part about it. Fo' real.
