StrongArm's 200 Favorite Tracks of 2011 #40-31

#40 Fashawn- Gettin it (prod. NIma Fadavi)



An ill track from Fashawn, produced by Bay Area producer Nima Fadavi. The track is gritty, the video is coming soon from Open University productions. Fashawn spits : "I got my orisue hoody on, orange juice jays, laced in the latest fashion, gettin paid, feelin like new money, louis v shades, cover eye my aces, i be fly, let me explain, baby, let me explain....  ".... "Big homie told me you gon need a chain, you gon need a thumper if you rollin in a range or jag, depends on where you aim, some niggaz want the fame, same niggaz want it all, my philosophy while you livin have a ball, you can be like santiago, lookin fly for them all, gettin money is the motto gotta get it, through they skull, how you a high roller, n you aint got a car, you supposed to shine, gotta look like a star....". This is a banger and one of the dopest tracks of the year and dropped right at the end. You can download it here: http://www.djbooth.net/index/tracks/review/fashawn-gettin-it/

#33 Random Axe- Everybody Nobody Somebody



One of the dopest beats of the year. All 3 verses are fire, this shows the potential of a group like Sean Price, GUilty Simpson + Black Milk.
