Billboard Fridays: Sage The Gemini feat. IamSu - Gas Pedal

E fiiiiinalmente alguém desbanca o Macklemore e Ryan Lewis do topo. Esse alguém como eu previ foi o Jay Z com o seu ultimo hit, Holy Grail. Dito isso, vamos ao destaque da semana que vai pro Sage The Gemini. O Sage é um rapper e produtor da Bay Area do qual eu só tinha ouvido falar por algumas musicas que ele fez com o IAMSU! Agora que eu já ouvi esse single dele que está estourando atualmente nos States dá pra dizer que tanto a vibe quanto o jeito de rimar do Sage são bem parecidos com os do IAMSU!, o que é uma coisa boa, pois ambos tem rimas criativas e uma flow que muda bastante e não é nenhum pouco monotona. A batida desse som foi feita pelo próprio Sage The Gemini e é super minimalista como o som que o DJ Mustard iniciou na Bay Area. Enfim, a musica é divertida e o clipe me surpreendeu. Eu esperava algo super colorido e cheio de dancinhas, mas na real o clipe é sóbrio, tentando passar um ar de sério, com o Sage, o IAMSU e as várias minas se vestindo mais como modelos do que como alguém num video de rap. Enfim, pelo menos ele é divertido e eu particularmente gostei. Pra ver é só clicar acima e abaixo segue o Top 25 da semana.

Finally someone took the top spot out of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' hands, and as I predicted, Jay Z was the one that made this feat with Holy Grail. Let's go to this week's highlight though. Sage The Gemini is a producer and a rapper from the Bay Area, which I had only previously heard of from some songs he did with IAMSU! After hearing the songs that he has charting right now I got a little hold on his sound and it's safe to say that his flow and way of rhyming is pretty close to IAMSU's, which is a great thing, cause Suzy knows what he is doing when it comes to rhyming. What you should expect is some clever party-rhyming delivered in everchanging flows, which is very entertaining. The beat was done by Sage The Gemini himself and is really minimalistic, kinda like what DJ Mustard started with his Ratchet movement. I found the song pretty fun and cool, but the video surprised me a little bit. I was expecting something with lots of bright colors, people doing some crazy dance moves and such, but what I actually saw was Sage, IAMSU and his female companions all dressed really soberly, kind of like models and such. It's definitelly a fresh look and I kinda digged the video. You can check it along with this week's top 25 above.
