Still, how lame does “Hotel Bathroom” make sex sound? Very lame. The thing is, the production, sound, and overall vibe almost save it. “Hotel bathroom / Hotel bathroom / Smoking in the bathroom / To the hotel room / Hotel couch, f*cking on the hotel couch / Hotel bathroom / F*ck you on the hotel bath tub.” Follow up “Hotel Bathroom” is shallow and ill-conceived. The same could be said of Scott on the second verse. Here, French offers an okay, but not incredibly memorable verse. The production has a foreboding quality and as usual, the sound favors Scott. “Jump” brings the ever-unique Travis Scott aboard. The production is good, not “the second coming.” Max B finishes the meat of the song with the third and final verse. His flow is sort of predictable – more of the same – but he has his moments.
UNFORGETTABLE FRENCH MONTANA ITUNES SINGLE FULL
French Montana adds some contributions to the chorus, rapping the full second verse. He ends up singing the first verse and the chorus. The Weeknd plays true to his style, tackling the pop-rap infused melodic line like a champ. Things get better with “A Lie,” featuring The Weeknd and Max B. A pop-rap, autotune performance from French, this song raises the question, what kind of artists does he want to be? The production is successful, but sort of ‘been there, done that.’ The hook is repetitive, yet, “I ain’t trippin on a b*tch” isn’t the catchiest lyric of the year. “Trippin” doesn’t sustain the success, unfortunately. While the ginormous success of “Unforgettable” is surprising, it’s understandable why the record has been successful in itself. The main rub is that this sound is getting old because it’s been overused. The tropical vibe is successful, but perhaps polarizing to an extent. Swae Lee is the star of the show, clearly outperforming French. “ Unforgettable,” featuring Swae Lee, makes up for it.
“Whiskey Eyes,” hence, is a bit underwhelming as the opening statement by the rapper. French Montana offers an okay flow, but nothing game changing, particularly distinct, or rousing. It’s fitting given the album title, but ultimately, off-putting, particularly with the mellower chorus that follows. “Whiskey Eyes” initiates Jungle Rules, featuring a verse by the late Chinx.
Clocking in at 64 minutes, Jungle Rules gives the listener lots of French Montana, which is good sometimes but too much at others. He’s finally back with Jungle Rules, an 18-track affair that is all over the place. He released his debut album, Excuse My French back in 2013, fueled by anthem, “ Pop That.” In 2016, he was scheduled to release MC4, but scrapped it as his sophomore album. French Montana returns after a four-year hiatus with his sophomore album, ‘ Jungle Rules.’ The MC and the album have their respective moments.Īfter a four-year hiatus, French Montana returns.
