Skylar Grey - C'mon Let Me Ride

Having already penned the chorus of Love the way you Lie, as well as beautifully singing the hook on I need a Doctor, Holly Brook Hoffermann, known worldwide as Skylar Grey was without doubt owed something by Eminem, until now. Seeing a glorious return to his infamous sense of humour (still without summoning a smile in the whole video), Skylar's latest single, which features Mr Mathers himself, is pure brilliance. C'mon Let me Ride, has been met with a very mixed reception, probably intentionally, but the reason for this is mainly misinterpretation.

The music industry is sick of 'sluts' singing about sex. Plain and simple. But you only have to scroll down the comments under this video to see the public's belief that this is another one of those meaningless tunes. Ironically, however, it is a parody of that type of music. Although let's face it, this is pretty blatent. It's hilariously provocative, with a hook of "C'mon let me Ride your bicycle, it's so fantasticle on your bicycle..." Yet it is very catchy and the style of the tune is astoundingly reminiscent of P!nk in her earlier days. Eminem's verse is captivating, although really when does he ever disappoint? His flow isn't what it was, but he's less shouty than on the Bad Meets Evil album, and with a verse that includes the likes of Mick Jagger, Alan Iverson and Godzilla you know it's worth a listen.

Quite amusingly the Youtube video is positioned right next to a picture of Kesha; probably one of Skylar's targets with the tune. It's set in a woodland caravan site, with Skylar posing as a lumberjack, as well as a player on a 'bicycle', mocking the three classic, blonde, beauty-queen type girls around that are posing for the locals. Skylar herself is pretty hot though, it has to be said.  Em's dressed like the real Slim from his Detroit roots, Shady's back.

Whatever you think of Miss Grey, it is with debate she is a pure unadulterated talent, with a whole host of collaborations in her back-pocket that could rival anyone. Her forthcoming album Don't Look Down, featuring C'mon Let me Ride and Invisible, is set to be released later this year.
