Song of the Week: Trap Door - Jake One

I had some reservations by choosing another song from White Van Music, but with MF Doom being the featured artist I thought it was different enough to be interesting. It's also really what I'm listening to right now so its very deserving of the spot.

The beats are darker than the other ones produced by Jake One but have a very smooth quality to it, no doubt in part because of the light keys and guitar put over the song. Giving MF Doom a heavy slower bass beat seems like the thing to do (See: November Has Come), and produces great results. Paced by cymbals his deep dark slurred voice fits perfectly into the elephant walk of the bass. As usual Doom gives the listener a ludicrous amount of bars for the song, and it is filled with memorable lines "your messing with the wrong kids Michael//It aint jack son to flip the script like camera, action" and "The proof is the computers down, Urkle"
