Let's see here, it's been nine months since Lupe Fiasco dropped his single "I'm Beamin'", so yeah, the remix should be coming in five, four, three...oh, there it is. That's right, the slowest working man in hip-hop finally got his ish together and dropped the long awaited All City Chess Club remix featuring Asher Roth, a new verse from the Lupester, Charles Hamilton, both Cool Kids, Blu, Diggy Simmons, Dosage and B.o.B, with production from The Neptunes.
Quickly glancing over the track, Asher continues to leave his white boy gimmick in the rearview with a respectable flow, Hamilton is crazy (not in a good way), Lupe's flow is almost as nice as his work on "Don't Stop", I could take or leave The Cook Kids, Blu proves he's dope when he's not singing random ish, as much as I want to hate on Diggy I just can't, actually Dosage, I haven't heard of you but you're nice and I'm not sure about Bobby Ray's meandering verse.
Long story short, worth your time, but not the nine month wait. And I hate to R. Kelly on your celebration, but there's no way "Lasers" is actually going to come out in March. I wish Vegas could let me bet on things like this.
Fun Fact this track was done 8 months ago give or take a month. It was also supposed to feature J. Cole and Wale.

Another fun fact: Dig used that "only 15, but my 16s strong" line in his BET cypher verse. Not that it matters.

I enjoy seeing these guys working together, but not as a group all in one like this. It's way too many for one thing, but I also feel they do not compliment each other well.
This track would've been better with just Blu, Diggy and Lupe. Not sure if B.o.B. works or not.
As far as the verses go my vote is for Diggy, followed by Lupe.

Good to see RefinedHype nation and I are on the same page on this one - I would put Lupe first and Asher second as well.
By the way, the fact that tdot's Diggy call isn't that crazy is amazing.

Wow was that diggy? really? damn he sounded like bizzy for a second! haha does anyone else feel bad for jojo because its so painfully clear which son is gonna be a star? haha well anyways, noone really blew me away, but it was still a cool listen. Lyrically asher takes it, style goes to mikey rocks,(chuck came kinda weak), but diggy just caught my attention.
