With Rockstar Mentality, former mechanics Rasheed \"Sheed\" Hightower and cousins Demetrius \"Meany\" Hardin and Richard \"Fat\" Stephens have coalesced their image as succinctly as any hip-hop group in recent memory. Lead single \"Party Like a Rockstar\" eclipsed all previous speed records for digital music distribution, capped by the sale of a million ringtones in the track's first six weeks, and though the album's only real \"rock\" is the committed use of live guitar throughout, these songs nevertheless pay vocal tribute to rock stardom at every opportunity. The title track forces the issue most obviously; \"Rollin'\"--the Boyz' professed favorite--motors forth on a bass hook pulled right out of the Beach Boys; and \"My Car\" keeps pace with yet another deeply thumping ode to the joys of automobile ownership. Make no mistake, from the first shout-out of their native \"Bowen Homes\" to the unrelenting battery of uninspiring rhymes, Rockstar Mentality is urban-radio-ready hip-hop through and through, but the trio's savvy self-image might just corral enough rock-n'-roll, grease-monkey cred to elevate the Shop Boyz' from mentality to reality. --Jason Kirk      Product Description      Run DMC collaborated with Aerosmith, Jay-Z linked up with Linkin Park, and now Atlanta Georgia's own, Shop Boyz, are ready to add their own spin on the genre of mixing Rap and Rock N Roll. The group's riotous blast of hip hop-meets-rock has helped to transform the Southern hip-hop landscape, emerging from Atlanta's underground music scene and inspiring a new punk wave among the South's hip-hop tastemakers. Shop Boyz are being hailed as new pioneers of the genre\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 602517357839\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0602517357839\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e english\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42959227945219,"sku":"38-UM1V-7TQB","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/5125IDhz-9L.jpg?v=1655914098","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/rockstar-mentality","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
