Hot Songs: Joell Ortiz Freestyles “Who Dat” & “Roger That”
Joell Ortiz – “Who Dat” (Freestyle)
Download – “Who Dat”
Joell Ortiz has consistently been going in over popular instrumentals for months now, and never once has he disappointed. ”Who Dat” has the Brooklyn emcee laying down his bars over J.Cole’s first single.
Here’s a quick excerpt:
“I’m on fire, the temperature in Hell’s lovely,
I don’t miss a beat like the Energizer Cell Bunny,
Tongue numb cause I spit Crack,
It’s clothing stores between me and these rappers, a big Gap,
So far ahead that I can sit back,
Cause when that starting pistol bark these niggas start, I’m on my fifth lap.”
That line about spitting Crack till his tongue goes numb had me rewinding the track.

If you haven’t heard the original “Roger That,” you’re missing out on one of Nicki Minaj’s best verses to date. Having said that, Joell flows over the radio friendly track as if it was made for him, with lines such as:
“You niggas is washed up,
Walking, talkin, laundry mats,
Ladies see me in the street, damn near have a heart attack,
Find me right behind her, tryin to rip apart her back,
A nice Jessica Rabbit and she don’t care where Roger at…
I do it how I do it, and how I do it is beautiful,
Any beat that feels alive, I give it a funeral.”
Like the last line of that quote states, may these beats rest in peace.
