Bobby Shmurda’s “Hot Nigga” Is “Like A Flash In The Pan,” Statik Selektah Says

    Bobby Shmurda’s “Hot Nigga” may be one of the most talked about tracks of the year, but Statik Selektah, who released the stream for What Goes Around recently, isn’t impressed by the emerging New York rapper.

    “I don’t knock anyone else’s hustle if they’re trying to put on for New York, but to me that’s like a flash in the pan right now,” Statik says in an interview with AllHipHop. “If Bobby Shmurda makes a career out of that, and he makes real music then I’ll be impressed, but right now I haven’t really heard anything original that’s really impressed me.

    “His single is cool, but it’s a freestyle to me,” he adds. “I understand the dance and all that, but let’s see if he’ll make some music that will last a couple of years. We’ll see. I hope he does. I hope everybody makes good shit. But I felt like it was a Chicago type of thing when I first saw it…We’ll see what he does with it. That’s not really what I’m rocking with, though. We got our own thing going on. [‘Hot Nigga’] is a fun record. You play it in the club, people do the dance. To me, that’s – I don’t want to say a gimmick, there’s just a catch to it. What happens when you take that element out? Is he going to put out a real good record? We’ll see. I hope so.”

    Bobby Shmurda surfaced with “Hot Nigga” this year, a song that gained viral notoriety on social media platforms. “Hot Nigga’s” success also helped Shmurda land a deal with Epic Records. 

    Recently, Shmurda confirmed that he purchased the same beat Lloyd Banks used for his song “Jackpot” for “Hot Nigga.”

    1. No doubt, that song is some young boy in the club shit. Clowns always talking about busting guns and killing people. How about something original. Even Lupe released some garbage azz track that sounds like that.

      1. How the fuck can you use the words “Lupe” and “Garbage” in the same sentence… go eat a dick.

    2. I wonder is Statik actually kept saying the word ‘nigga’ in the interview while talking about the song?

    3. Bobby “one hit” Shmurda is gonna to end up like Trinidad, Kreayshawn, and every rapper that blew up off of a viral video.

    4. oh the irony. this fat fuck samples real music but chops, reverses and filters it so it cant be recognized so he doesnt have to pay the artists he samples, throws some weak drums on it and calls it real music. bobby shmurda shits on this dude

      1. You must be new to hip-hop because what you were talking. about is called sampling, which is a huge part of hip-hop. Bobby Schmurda ain’t shit.

    5. coming from a wigger who makes the most airy, disposable, forgettable, mediocre, substance less beats thats funny

    6. Lil B
      Trinidad James
      Young Thug
      Bobby Shmurda

      it’s all the same shit.

      Statik still the makes the most boring beats in the game tho, so he’s not any better

    7. my bad, I forgot to add the white girls that say the N-word to my list of forgettable rapppers
