On Wednesday, while convalescent from a torn adenoids (and advancing for Portugal), U.S. soccer star/occasional rapper Clint Dempsey alone a new single, "It's Poppin," which is accessible now through DeuceandXO.com. Here's our yield on the track.
The Apple Cup: Clint Dempsey's Business Cruise to Brazil
Before biting Seattle Sounders "footballer" and U.S. National Team captain Clinton "Deuce" Dempsey as yet addition amateur alleviative the culture like an arrogant indulgence, it's important to bethink that Deuce alone "Don't Tread" in 2006, one of the endure annal to affection Houston fable Big Hawk. (Hawk, a founding affiliate of the Screwed Up Click and earlier brother to H-Town hero Fat Pat, was dead that May.) That puts him just a amount removed from the bequest of DJ Screw - absolute cred! - and although the song isn't accountable to transcend novelty, propelled as it is by its auteur's profession, it's also...not bad at all.
This is in allotment because the Texas rap adapt has consistently been accessible to a amount of amateurism, a ability that was added about adjacency and accord than any account about advanced motion. Afterwards all, it's a arena area the artists are added absorbed in elongating time, transforming babble sessions with accompany - the wisecracks, the japes, the jokes - into a affectionate of apathetic canvas.
Lyrically, of course, neither Deuce or his partner, XO, are abnormally avant-garde - they paraphrase E.S.G. one minute, and allow in the meat-and-potato similes ("Problem, Houston, I'm a Rocket") the next - but that's hardly the point. Dempsey's accurate he's chatty in the style, and because Texas is just now arising from a continued artistic abeyance acknowledgment to new stars like BeatKing, the song's uptempo sparkler assembly is an entertaining-enough trip.
Here's to The Redux, Deuce's 13-track anthology due out afterwards the U.S. conquers the apple in the 2014 Apple Cup...and Clint recovers from that torn nose.
