J.J. Krupert Top 13 Countdown – December ’10 #12: “Just Touched Down (screwed & chopped)” by Big K.R.I.T.


Look, by this point you should have just gone ahead and found the Big K.R.I.T. Wuz Here screwed and chopped mixtape and downloaded the whole thing already. It’s worth it. I will probably just keep listing one song off of it every month (being I limit myself to one song by any artist each month’s J.J. Krupert listings) until I’ve gone through the entire mixtape. There have been people who have put out shit with a couple good songs or a great summer banger or this or that, but I really can’t think of a single collection of songs in album or mixtape format that I’ve loved this much in a few years. I know the cyberglitter machines will tell you that Big Boi last year or Kanye West any year is the next level shit you should be jocking. But that next level is a level I’d prefer we not go, and I’m not entirely sure either one of those are not cases of emperors not having clothes on. Or maybe the whole world has gone fruity and cybertronic and this is our new disco age. But my next level involves country shit like K.R.I.T., slowed down to a warbled perfection, and served loud as fuck, making your rear view give the world behind you a Gaussian blur filter.
