New Partners In Kryme TMNT Song/Video

[Powder]

Figured this fits in the movie section considering PIK's history & that the new one likely inspired this anthem. To my understanding, they tried to get it into the new flick but the folks behind it weren't interested.

It's no Turtle Power but it would have been perfect for say, the third movie, given it didn't have an original hip-hop hit like the two prior. I dig it, & will be listening many times in the future.



& while we're at it, might as well enjoy Turtle Power's video too! I imagine it's something a lot of folks here haven't seen. I didn't know it existed until a few years ago, myself. It's got exclusive footage with the Henson suits, so don't miss out!

[Jester]

Fun, but like you said, no T-U-R-T-L-E Power. Do dig the sample though.

[IndigoErth]

Too bad the film makers weren't interested. I love that some of those involved in the original movies are still that passionate about it. Different times back then for sure...

[ScrewtheMirageTMNT]

The music started off ok then took a nose dive.

[RaphaelinSTL]

As Jester said, it's fun....but no "Turtle Power."

This is a million times better than "Shell Shocked" though....

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

I hate to say it...but I think that other song, Shell Shocked, was a lot better than this new one from Partners in Kryme. I didn't even like 'Rock the Kasbah' so definitely didn't like this one. Shell Shocked, I could handle. This one? Pretty excruciating.

Of course, none were as great as Turtle Power.

[zodiac brave]

i love the clash, so this was a cool surprise.

really dont dig the vocoder during the hook, but whatever, this was fun.

but yeah...the first 2/3s of shellshocked > this.

[tmntpower2k14]

Horrendous ... irrelevant late 80's / early 90's c-rate hip hop artist.

Juicy J, Wiz Shell Shocked > BY COUNTRY MILES

Anyone suggesting otherwise is out of their damn minds.

[Powder]

There is no need to turn this into another thinly veiled argument over which film (& it's subsequent media) is better.

RaphaelineSTL, RamboRaph4life made the inital comparisons. I'm just following up my own thoughts?

Notice I didn't quote or call anyone out? Just a general statement.

Gotcha, bud. Just clarifying.

[RaphaelinSTL]

Thanks for calling me out! -___-

In my opinion, Shell Shocked is an obvious phoned in attempt to have mainstream rappers do a song for the Ninja Turtles soundtrack, but instead of doing anything creative lyrically (like an MF Doom would do) they basically write a song as they normally would but switch things to names in reference the Turtles names or their shells. Shell Shocked is just a stupid song that was clearly only a paycheck for Wiz and his team.

This new Partners in Kryme song is so ridiculous and silly and border line amateur....but you know what the difference is? This song actually has heart and it's coming from a genuine place. Turtle Power, although losing a point for calling Raphael the leader, is a song that has stood the test of time with Turtle fans ala Ninja Rap.

Plus how cute are those costumes and that Casey Jones cosplay?

[Shark_Blade]

None of the songs has a beat as epic as Shell Shocked, I feel.

[Megatron]

Straight Garbage..

Mhmm... And an interview from yesterday sounds like pretty good support of just that...

How did your song for “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” come about?

They called earlier in the year. I wrote my verse while I was in London. They let me see the movie before I left. They gave me a list of key points to hit, a list of words, and I just hit ’em when I wrote my verse. It worked for me, because I was able to deliver exactly what they wanted.

Like this Partners In Kryme bit or think it's a train wreck, at the very least...at least they did it, on their own, because they wanted to and feel enough for TMNT that they came up with it no matter if it got anywhere or not.

[Anton Chigurh]

haha black nerd lol

also that song is very very very bad!! that sucked liked the suits though.

[Jester]

Nothing beats this:

Wiz didn't compose Shell Shocked. Brian Tyler did. He made a hip-hop beat out of his own orchestrated score. Because he's just that good. Wiz and Co may have phoned in their verses, but Tyler is basically a genius.

I am fairly certain you are a well disguised troll at this point.
