Music Review: Flo Rida & Sage the Gemini "G.D.F.R."

Flo Rida & Sage the Gemini
G.D.F.R.
Album:  My House
Year: 2014
        
          Flo Rida is only interested in the free-spirited women in the offbeat           “G.D.F.R.”
 
          A rattling siren from the Lookah’s instrumental sample of Low Rider’s “War” opens the single, setting an eccentric tone.
      
        In the chorus, Sage the Gemini is the on the lookout. He tells them he is as just curious as they are. He wants  to see how they really are. (“I know what you came here to see/If you're a freak, then ya coming home with me/And I know what you came here to do/Now bust it open let me see you get loose/It’s going down for real/It’s going down for real/It’s going down for real.”)

               Flo Rida  says he has a specific type: bisexual. He doesn’t make a lot of sense, though. There’s something about traveling to perhaps Dubai. He has a rare car and he’s known everywhere. (“Your girl just kissed a girl/I do bi chicks/Shake for a sheik
I'm throwing these Emirates in the sky/Spending this As-salamu alaykum/Peace to M.O.N.E.Y/I love my beaches, south beaches/Surfboard in high tide/I could just roll up/Cause I'm swole up/So that birthday cake get the cobra/Bugatti for real, I'm cold bruh
That auto-biography rover/Got the key to my city it's over/It's no thots, only Anna Kournikova's/I set records, ratchets hold up (I set records, ratchets hold up.”)
 
              Sage the Gemini says the chorus again.

             Sage the Gemini takes the second verse. He says the women have heard of him. However, he remains a mystery. He can get whatever he wants and no one ever knows who he’s with. He likes the women to be natural. (“And they already know me/It's going down further than FEMA/Girls get wetter than Katrina/Yeah my girl you never seen her/Cause my tints by limousines/My touch say it's the Midas/We the plus your man a minus/My team blowing on that slam/Make you cough-cough that's bronchitis/Put your hands up/It's a stick up, no more makeup/Get that ass on the floor/Ladies put your lipstick up/Double entendre, double entendre/While you're hating I get money/Then I double up tonkers.”)
 
             Sage the Gemini says the chorus again.

              In the bridge, Flo Rida instructs the women on how to dance. (“Lift it, drop it, shake it, pop it/Lift it, drop it, shake it, pop it/Lift it, drop it, shake it.”)
 
                 In the final section, Sage the Gemini says “it’s going down for real” five times to end the single.

                Flo Rida redeems himself and seems to have learned his lesson. He brings up a taboo topic (bisexuality) without being offensive. On the flipside, though, he mostly rambles. It’s a small victory.
 
              Sage the Gemini outshines Flo Rida. He intones the chorus the with the utmost seriousness and control, maximizing the high drama which complements the freewheeling siren. He’s imaginative with his lyrics. He seems to take it a step further. A cough is usually happens with bronchitis (which itself is specific). The reference to Hurricane Katrina is troublesome. Comparing a natural disaster to sex is wrong (to me IMHO). Although the FEMA is used in an inventive way. It's visual, giving the scope of a particular area.
 
           While War’s “Low Rider” is well-known to the point of cliché, the section used is only a tiny piece and not the usual part. It’s resourceful and creative.
 
          The fresh   “G.D.F.R.” rehabilites Flo Rida and rights some major errors.
