Bump Or Dump

Strong Bump – A hit. I really like it. Rewind worthy

Weak Bump – It’s listenable. Something You have to be in the mood to listen to. Not Bad

Weak Dump – Don’t really like it. Might like parts of it but not the whole composition. Could grow on you. Underwhelming

Strong Dump – Get rid of it. Absolutely don’t like it. Garbage. Hate It

Simple rules:

In exchange, you can have & listen to them, and personally comment below, stating if you would *Bump It* or *Dump It* for each record and why... [Strong Bump, Weak Bump, Weak Dump, or Strong Dump]
----------------------------- 

"4:44" (JayZ),

Currently #28 on Rhythmic/Club formats;

+ #30 on Urban formats;

via RocNation [1055 + 1085 Daily US Spins]. – It’ll get plenty radio spins just because it’s Jay-Z and contains gossip. Not sure it works in the club or at a party, it’s not very mixable. Not really a fan of the production. The flow and delivery are not really creative, it's more like just talking over the beat, but not very poetic. The lyrics are off beat and out of the pocket. It’s a way below the standard we’ve come to expect from Jay-Z. Weak Dump

"SORRY NOT SORRY" (Demi Lovato),

Currently #43 on Pop formats;

via Island/Republic [890 Daily US Spins]. – Definitely has a head knod factor. Will probably be all over the radio. Has a nice build up, a full sound, and thump. It Transitions perfectly to the club or party scene. It's catchy, fun and has sing-along qualities. I expect a remix. Strong Bump

"GO FOR BROKE" (Machine Gun Kelly f/ James Arthur),

Currently #45 on Pop formats;

+ shipped to Urban formats on 7/15/17;

via Bad Boy/Interscope [815 Daily US Spins]. – Not sure it’ll work on Urban Radio. It has what sounds like rock and some country elements to it. May work in a club that plays like top 40 or an open format, but this is not what most want to hear in the club. It sounds like an album cut honestly. Weak Dump

"NO EFFORT" (Tee Grizzley),

Currently #37 on Urban formats;

via Quality Control/300/Atlantic [761 Daily US Spins]. – The Production is good. The flow suffers because he keeps breaking the flow by trying to fit too many words or the wrong word s into the bar. The lyricism could be better, It may get some play in the club, I feel it may be a little too much for the radio depending on what the edited version sounds like. The Hook is weak, needs more effort. Production way outshines the lyrics. Weak Dump

"GLOW" (Drake f/ Kanye West),

Currently #40 on Urban formats;

via OVO/Cash Money/Universal [742 Daily US Spins]. – It's way too much going on, it’s overproduced. A terrible use of a classic Earth Wind Fire sample. It doesn’t feel cohesive. Probably will get spins just because of its Drake and Kanye, may get club spins for the same reason. It’s simple enough to sing along too. Severely underwhelming experience. Weak dump

"NO COMPLAINTS" (Metro Boomin' f/ Drake & Offset),

Currently #47 on Urban formats;

via Freebanz/Republic [498 Daily US Spins]. – Lame Hook. Should work for the radio, the club, and the strip club. The Drake verse makes it listenable. The Production outshines the lyrics Weak Bump

"BODAK YELLOW" (Cardi B),

Currently #50 on Urban formats;

via KSR/Atlantic [442 Daily US Spins]. – Sounds like every other trap/mumble rap song, it has nothing that sets it apart from anything else that’s out, that also makes it very mixable. Should get club and strip club spins and possibly some radio spins. The lack of a distinctive sound might take away from the radio spins. Strong Dump

"SET ME FREE" (Mary J Blige),

Currently #34 on Adult Contemp. formats;

via Matriarch/Capitol [139 Daily US Spins]. – It’s classic Mary sing through her pain and frustration, but the production is all wrong for the lyrics. I expect radio spins but not during prime time slots. Weak Bump

"TEMPTATION" (Joey Badass),

Shipped to Urban formats on 6/21/17;

via Pro Era/Cinematic Music/Sony

[beginning w/ 46 Daily US Spins]. – Sadly it maybe too progressive and political for radio. But the beat is perfect for Summer. It has head nod factor. May get some radio play. Will work well at BBQ and the fullness of the sound makes it a candidate to blare out of some speakers. Strong Bump
