J.J. Krupert Top 13 Countdown - May ’10 #5: “Burr Beer” by OJ Da Juiceman


I am not afraid to become infatuated with some ignorant ass shit. And no area of music has been a more fertile land for providing rich fruits of ignorance than southern American hip hop. I do not pretend to know all about all the dumb ass dudes that get monthly interviews in Ozone magazine, or have crew allegiances that ultimately all go back upstream to either Atlanta, New Orleans, or Memphis. I guess that this OJ Da Juiceman guy is down with Young Jeezy, or was, and most likely was a weed-holding hype man at some point or another, paying his dues, learning how to turn ignorant bliss into child-like sing songs of rap lyrics. "Burr Beer" is completely stupid, and just another of a billion songs attempting to describe in glorious flaunting detail diamonds that probably ain't even for real. Yet it's just so goddamned stupid and catchy, that I found it impossible to not like. Shit, fuck it, I love this song. I will never in my life probably like any other OJ Da Juiceman song; in fact. To be honest, I probably would never even download any OJ Da Juiceman mixtape for free that ever crossed my eyeballs online, because with that name and the style he does, this song has to be a perfect storm. There is no way an idiot savant like this could catch lightning bugs in a bottle and make diamonds that shine with their ass juice somehow like he did with this song ever again. (Oddly enough, crap like this is a "perfect storm" type thing that varies with the individual. You will perhaps download this song, and hate it to the point you question my opinions on anything else I spake upon. Oh well. Fuck you, you judgemental bastard.)
