[Hip-Hop] Latto - Big Energy

[adamf2thedeath]

I love this song! Ever since Jeniffer Lopez posted the video of her with it in the background. I can’t stop playing it!

[Ruthymon]

It's only 'cause of the sample

[adamf2thedeath]

The sample is flawless! Although Mariah did sample it from Tom Tom Club genius of love song.

I feel in a way that's an homage to Mimi, but who knows. I was just listening to this song yesterday and saw it had been out since September - how has it been missed until now?

She claims not to have known Fantasy, despite being a Mariah fan from a child. So the song is not a homage to Mimi but her knowing more of The Tom Tom Club. *rolls eyes*

[adamf2thedeath]

Of course it’s an homage to Mariah! She can say she doesn’t know it but not many people recognise the original sample most people know it from fantasy.

Girl the original song is a classic and very well known. Mariah just sampled the song too.

Hmm, damn, I liked my homage theory. Latto needs to tell her story walking. Even if what she said were true, no one in production was going to mention Fantasy to her? OK

Really like the song tho.

I guess more so in America. The song wasn’t a hit in the UK & I had never actually heard the original song.

[minime]

I honestly thought there was a thread for this song here a few months ago. Surprised there wasn't.

[Mugen]

Doing well at radio:

[SimpleBoy]

This is shaping up to be huge! It’s been getting tons of airplay here in Canada too, very Pop for Latto, but it’s working great! You have to dance when this song comes on!

[adamf2thedeath]

Really taking off so well in the US but not doing anything in Europe. Shame really as its an instant sounding hit it just needs a little playlisting.

It's very "Urban", never for a second did I think this would do anything outside of North America.

[spiritboy]

I thought this was Fantasy. Definitely a hommage to Mariah. Otherwise, it's giving me "BTW inspired by Whitney" teas.

[SholasBoy]

I like her rap style she sounds like some of the 90s rappers, Kim, Eve, Monie, Da Brat..

[basticasas]

I really think the song has the hype only because of Fantasy, it's not an standout tho

[Mugen]

Now in the top 40:

[adamf2thedeath]

Is this still climbing?

Is this still climbing?

[SimpleBoy]

Rumours are swirling around that the Big Energy Remix will feature Nicki Minaj & Iggy Azalea!

[Mugen]

Still climbing:

[InFamous]

Latto getting a lot of attention on UK Mix this week. She is breaking through !

[spiritboy]

So Mariah Carey is actually featuring on this song on Latto's album according to rumors.
