Generally, there is a rule. If you can sample Adele and pull it off, then you're going to go far. It's as simple as that. In saying that, let's look back at the Coke Boys 3 mixtape that I had been obsessing over earlier this year. That's right; there are no fillers here. French Montana works with his fellow Coke Boys, Cheeze and Chinx Drugz, and a sample of Adele's "Set Fire To The Rain" to give us the four-minute "100."
In "100," Adele is sped up and raised a few registers to sound a bit like one of those fluffy cartoon rabbits that sing a ringtone you can text to get. Now, there's nothing wrong with that. On loop during the masterful raps, it grows on you, and gives a good contrast to the aggressive sounds of French Montana and the boys. Think of their "100" as the rap-fueled counterpart to "Set Fire To The Rain." So get listening.
