A sweeping track that incorporates synths, a frantic drum pattern, the lyrical prowess of Joell Ortiz and Jim Jones along with solid crooning by iFFY the Bad Man, “I Want It All” is a curious hybrid. Almost all hip hop, with a taste of “epicpop” in the chorus and a mosh of musical styles on the beat, it somehow pulls it all together and definitely inspires a few rewind and come agains.
Lyrically, “I Want It All” is a vaguely inspirational/aspirational joint, with nothing particularly groundbreaking from any of the participants, but solid work all around. If anything, the track actually serves as a strong demonstration for those who might not be familiar with iFFY the Bad Man. And since we think you should be familiar with iFFY the Bad Man, that alone makes checking this track worthwhile.
Still waiting on the next Slaughterhouse project, but this should help whet your Joell Ortiz appetite for now.
