Benny The Butcher - Everybody Can’t Go (Discussion Thread)

[Heavy_Handz]

Dope beat, Benny and Wayne slid on there. But that hook...

The main reason I’m up in here continuously roasting this hook is just the fact that it’s my biggest pet peeve, a wack ass hook Makes songs unlistenable. Why not just scrap that bullshyt and throw in a 2nd feature in between Benny & Wayne

 

[BK The Great]

just the single. Album should be this month

Oh thought it was dropping today, guess we’ll wait

 

[jilla82]

yea but that was forever ago. after the single with J Cole it shoulda been peddle to the floor. He dropped the ball. at this point I'm not even interested. and he keep doing goofy shyt on social media.



that song was cool 2....idk what he doing.

Benny's problem is he believes he's Jay/50 type status but in reality he's the perfect #2.

so he's chasing hits when he should focus on his strengths.
The J Cole joint was about as commercial as he can go.

the 90s equivalent would be a well respected artist that tops out at gold records

No major label knows what do with this type of talent. Independent route seemed like gold.

yup. in 2023, he would NEVER sell no matter what.

that said, this song is despite the TERRIBLE hook.

Maybe someone with the right voice, swag and delivery could have pulled that hook off. But Benny sounds like he's in a hostage situation reciting that shyt.

That song is hella boring. It is time for Benny to switch up the topic. This isn't the 2000s when selling dope was not as mainstream as it is today and since everyone was found capping with the topic, it has fazed out. He just does nothing for me with his raps anymore.

rappers have always talked about bozo shyt though.

the kids arent talking about selling drugs but they're talking about scamming, crashing out and doing drugs

 

[Sad Bunny]

Wayne already made this hook lol

 

[ShaDynasty]

Song is not bad but it feels like a b side or a loosie, something hidden in the middle of an Alc compilation.

And yeah the hook is dumb. I think maybe Westside doing the hook would have sounded more natural.

 

[Zero]

Wayne killed that shyt

 

[Wepa Man]

Song is tuff

I think the problem for all the Griselda guys is they were never like the 90s guys people claim they're like. Jay, Nas, Biggie etc were coming up with dope hooks from a young age. They had some basic understanding of song structure and had people in their corner (Diddy, Large Pro, Jaz, etc) to help sharpen their shyt. Jay came up with the D'Evils chorus and told DJ Premier exactly how he wanted it to be done. Nas gave the The World Is Yours hook to Pete and told him exactly how to sing it. Biggie started out the most raw when it came to that shyt, but by 1996/1997 he was better than everyone at it.

Fast forward to 1999 and Jay took up that mantle of having the best hooks and memorable/recitable moments in songs. Few years later, 50 was the king of that. But even if we take those types of guys out the picture...Wu had dope hooks. Jeru had hooks. 90s thugged out Fat Joe had hooks lol. Even the Lox had a handful of good hooks. Truth be told these guys would have been reserved to Stretch & Bobbito late night demos if they were around in the 90s.
