I know what went through your hed when your first saw this. "It is hard enough to succeed as a white rapper, but to top it off, this is Forrest Gump's son?!" But before you make anymore "rash" decisions give it a listen.
Chet shows potential as an aspiring rapper, and shows some impressive flow that cannot be taught. The paramount line in the song is "my balls served more than Serena playing tennis." The downfall to the freestyle are his periodic absurd lyrics. One example is "stab you in the pee-hole". Overall I'd rate the song 2.5 out of 5 stars. Hopefully, Chet will learn from his questionable lyrics, and build on his hot ones.
Howard Stern did not like "Chet Haze" as much as I did, but you can listen to his funny commentary on the freestyle below:
While Stern's take on Haze is pretty funny, I disagree with his overall look at the song. Sure, Haze sounds a little strange when he starts the video off by saying "my homie showed me this beat," but if you can get past that, the freestyle does not sound half-bad. Stern also rips on Hanks for growing up in Beverly Hills, and says he has nothing to be angry about. Why does it matter where you come from rich or poor? All that matters is whether or not for the three minutes of a song that it sounds good or not. I'm not defending Haze's "wannabe-gangster" lifestyle beyond his music. My point is that an artist's work should be judged on just that, and not the artist's background.
Chet Haze's mixtape "Get Hazed" will be released on Valentine's Day and can be downloaded here.
