DL4 - Laffy Taffy
When this song came out I was three or four years deep into exploring the world of programming beats. They were mostly electronic but sometimes bled lightly into the more experimental Hip-Hop world. A lot of the times I'd start by making really simple beats like the one in this song as just a warm up or a way of laughing at all of the default presets that FL Studio had to offer in it's program. So, when this song came out I said it sounded like something I could throw together in three minutes and still make it sound better than it does...and almost four years later I still hold on to that claim.
Most people blame Souljah Boy for the downfall of this genre, but if Souljah Boy ever came on in a club I'd be out there. "Laffy Taffy" takes unoriginality to a different level. It sums up everything that is wrong about the state of rap music. There's nothing remotely interesting in the song except for the "Candy girl" sample (by New Edition) that's used every four/eight/sixteen bars (and using a sample like that every four/eight/sixteen bars is pretty standard, so even that's played out). The lyrics say nothing.
It does have a catchy hook, but the way it's delivered is horrid.
