Can Polow Da Don Work Magic On Every Artist? I Say Hell No!

Written by Gyant

While Polow Da Don has received massive success producing such great songs by artists like Fergie, Ludacris, Jaime Foxx, Ciara, Young Buck, etc. When word spread that former D.C. member, and aspiring solo artist Kelly Rowland was teaming up with the hot producer, a buzz immediately ignited.

However the end result isn’t as inspiring as one might have hoped for. Kelly’s new song “Like This” feat Eve is about as bad as you can get, and in today’s music scene with numerous lackluster artists to pick from, that’s saying a whole lot.

While I understand everyone’s hustle to strike while the iron is hot, especially as far as the music business is concerned. The notion that any producer can work magic for every artist has been proven time and time again to be incorrect.

Note: Timbaland and Brandy, Scott Storch and Paris Hilton, Rodney Jerkins and Danity Kane, Timbaland and LL Cool J, these are just a few examples of tight beat makers and truly talented singers (well except for Paris) that failed to capture interest when they decided to work together, and the list could go on forever.

Check out the new song that he did for Kelly. Do you think it’s a hit?

As talented as Jamal (his real name in case you didn’t know) is, I hope that he soon recognizes that his talent should be best reserved for artsits that he can truly work with to sound their best. If Whitney Houston calls him up tomorrow, lets hope that he can separate the money from the music. Because at the end of the day the music is what matters! The money will always come.

And speaking of money it seems that Polow has lots of it has he’s just showered his family members with new automobiles. Let’s hope he’s stashing money away for a rainy day. Producers may come and go, but car payments are forever. LOL!

Talk to y'all lata

kelly and eve song is crazy in the clubs in dc

I think the issue is..this song would be better suited for someone else..u can't see Kelly singing anything that isn't dc childish..the jawn isn't bad..but it's bad for her

Polow is one of the new heatmakers on the scene and I don't doubt his talent after Rich Boy and the Fergie joint. Dude's on fire. Shout out to Young L from The Pack...these two are about to set the world on fire.

@ Gyant

Whats the point of being glad that somebody album wasn't successful just because you aint like their music. DAMN that some hater shit.
I mean I don't like any of those songs you mentioned, or even that style of music but I can;t see having ill will toward the artists' career just cause of that. Shit get that money man. Can't knock the way a nukka eating.

Then again I begin to understand more why transplants WHO DONT try to coreilate (spellcheck) or relate. To ATL CULTURE, folk that claim to be from somewhere, somthing there not, continually GET FUCKED UP..projecting knowledge of something they know nothing about.

NOT because of there own opinion but because of there own COMPLETE and utter lack of ABILITY TO relate or comprehend the culture of ATL.

Dat nigga cool as hell.his shit don't sound tha same like most dese producers out hurr.rill talented.dat nigga been grindin fa a long time

Niggaz dont even know, but Polo sick wit them flows too. I used to fuck wit Jim Crow back in the day and the nigga was doing his thing. Shot out to Polo cuz that man aint no overnight celebrity, dude been grinding it out!!!

truth be told sohh blogs is the best blog been looking around man other blog are wack nobody smiling,allhip hop nd the list goes on and on gyant you re the best blogger i really enjoy your shit.pips might but heeeeeey 90 % of em are just internet punks real thugs dont blog they inhale,corner block hustle,get paid and shit get laid all day but most of these punks are virgins.best of all the hits dont lie and ur getting paid shit guess its tru what they say more h8t mo buzz

who the hell is Jaime Foxx... umm you need a gyant dictionary to learn how to spell... you get paid to do this? you should want more in life

Had to stop in and give shouts to the dude Polow. The boy beats are straight retarded. I didn't even know he did that Fergie beat until I saw him in the video. Kinda surprised that a producer in this day and agae has that kind of range...keep it coming

Damn Gyant. You really are a hater.
There is nothing wrong with that track. It's even kinda hot.

Did Kelly Rowland tell you that you couldn't get the number?

Did Polow fuck your ex or something?

Stop hating nigga.

You're crazy....that Kelly song is a hit...I've heard it several times on the radio and its already climbing up the charts. Please come up with a useful post.....one that at least makes sense.

Just wanna give a shout out to Polow Da Don sexy ass & now even more appealing since watching him shower his parents with gifts and cars...that's gotta feel good...anyway, producers pay a large part in making a hit, however if the artists can't make the hit pop then I would place the blame more on the artist...it seems that Kelly just can't make a hit without DC...

Hey Pimpin' (sohh gyant) the kelly song with eve is crack. Polow didn't product that song, Sean Garrett produced it. The song is hot in this Bmore area. I'm not sure what you thinkin' no that one. But I agree every hot producer can't create magic with any artist. There has to be chemistry there. But get ya facts straight on that "like this" jawn.

imma have to agree with you gyant. kelly rowland is not a good solo artist. im not hatin on her, but beyonce overshadows her and when she puts out material by herself she gets compared to beyonce. this song may create a small buzz but be serious, this aint gonna be no hit of 2007. she has alot of talent, but she needs to do other things, like act or do proactive commercials.

I REALLY DON'T HAVE TO LIKE ANY OF THIS BULLSHIT.

..shout out to Polow Da Don..the boy iz on fire. stop hatin on niggas an give niggas props sometimes...the boy gettin bread..here it iz April an he bought the cars for xmas meaning he had bread in 2006. he prolly already made that car money back this year.

@ S.W.A.T.S 73

You obvioulsy have selective hearing because I didn’t say anything about Polo’s music. I like his beats, and his songs. The only think I am questioning is his ability to understand that he cant make a hit for everybody.

@ Big C
Sean Garret my have written it, but Polo’s producing is all over it.

polow is sexy as hell!

That dude doin his thang! name one producer that hasn't made one bad song? they all have even Dre, Timberland and Premier. This guy is a real ass nigga, that video solidified my view of him as a true family man, and staying true to the one's that knew him before he got famous.

who is this PILLOW DA DON? ..does he work for Tempurpedic Mattresses & Pillows? ~ With a name like "Pillow" He'd have NO problem hooking up at http://www.found-mysearch.com ~ the next big thing to take over mySpace and Friendster!

Gyant, you're a jack ass.

Dude job is to make beats for money - period. As long as the beat is hot he's done his job. If the song writer and artist ain't up to the task than that ain't on the producer.

I guess it's like SOHH having a hot site and you writing lame ass blogs.

@Raw Dawg

I completely disagree with you. A producers job is about more then making beats. Ultimately there reputation is on the line if they don’t effectively make it hot. There are millions of producers out there. Anybody can make a beat, hell I can make a beat on protools. But that doesn’t make me a producer.
It’s ultimately a producer’s job to make it hot.

polow is sexy as hell!

@Rizzop

I was kidding, damn! Notice the LOL on the end. It's called a sense of humor.

I SAY HELL NO TOO. HE IS GARBAGE. RICH BOYS SELLS FIRST WEEK ONLY 111,000. KNOW HE WILL JUST BE ANOTHER NEETY ON THE BEAT LOL LOL LOL LOL

I SAY HELL NO TOO. HE IS GARBAGE. RICH BOYS SELLS FIRST WEEK ONLY 111,000. KNOW HE WILL JUST BE ANOTHER NEETY ON THE BEAT LOL LOL LOL LOL

dude you must be on drugs. that new joint he did for kelly is hot. its not a beyonce cut, but shorty did her thing. you should watch what you say. cause contrary to belief, thats a reflection on the producer. if anything eve didnt blaze the track like she would have years ago. but i feel its a good hot track on both of there behalves. stop hating son. do you get pussy? or does your breath stink? damn!!

@ zone 4 stunna

if you reading on here, i just wanted to ask u is there any new songs out in the west side?

Polow the Don... I'm speechless!!

I'VE NEVER HEARD A NIGGA GLORIFY WHITE GIRLZ LIKE HE DOES ALL DAY LONG...

THAT'S ALL HE EVER TALKES ABOUT IS HOW HE LOVES WHITE GIRLZ!

NOTHING WRONG WITH LOVING THEM, IT'S JUST IGNORANT THAT HE ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT IT, LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH EVERY OTHER RACE.

DID HE FORGET THAT ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, THEY DIDN'T EVEN WANT NIGGAZ?

HE'S AN IDIOT!!

You crazy man that Kelly and Eve is fiyah.

gyan u mad that song is fiyah, bet u hating coz she turned u down for real LOL

I am not a fan of the song but it has nothing to do with the track. I think the track is hot. It's Kelly's part that I don't like. Her voice brings the songs down. I would have tried Monica, Amerie, or Fergie (dont hate)but Eve is fiyah. So overall the song is cool.

Hot to Death

When men stop being men, and go playing army instead, the women and kids become victims of violence blood red

the boys try to play the part of men, and they fail, sometimes ended in jail, or worse,

so we lower the bar of expectation and glamorize the hearst, as if its cool to be killed to be on a R-I-P t-shirt

we clap and smile at rape and violence as if its an accomplishments, drug dealing and killing become badges of honor to our detriment.

yall rappers and adults really think this is cool? we done reversed the world and made rape and gun play the new rule. And turned life wreckin into sport., here here man watch scarface go shoot a gat and snort.


Some of these older cats is fucxin scum bag mother fucxers, should know better but nothing to live for so they drag down the others, even they own little brothers. To their level backwards ass thinking, that what they see on BET videos is really really whats pimpin


Like growin up poor is an excuse to be a lowlife, turn to criminal acts just because some shit aint go right

and rap ni66as preachin death over a hot azz beat, as if the hot beat soothes the poison that’s entering the mind and streets

Ni66as get killed and the grave yards filled, and then we say the enemy is the 5-0 blue shield???get real. The enemy is within,….. and its us, …..where is the soul of the community and the elders we used to trust

The church used to be the voice in the community but no more, now they the ones that victimizin the poor,

poor in mind mostly, they’d rather build mega churches with a mini mall attached than approach me, or those young just like me, do you think another church service or offering plate will change this? Not likely.

Whos the hardest, whos the sickest, whos the one that sold the most dope and sprayed the most lead. His prize is the blank eyes of the millions whos souls are dead. Who’s gonna win the race to the grave for the sake of devlistic simplistic genocide hop musick, his prize is that he’s dead, and then he’ll get a graffittid up wall in his honor and of his choosing.

Until the last moment when there are no more guns, coke, weed, hoes, cars, threesomes, gangbangs, left.

BORING!!!!!

Polow has been around for a very long time. He has the opportunity to work with a talented artist like Kelly, then of course he will jump to it. I love Kelly cuz she is not afraid to be an individual. And do her own thing., I'm really feelin' that video with Eve makin a comeback. I think that song is gonna blow up a lil.

THE SONG IS HOT! IN MY OPINION, POLOW DA DON CAN WORK MAGIC AND I'M HAPPY THAT 2007 IS HIS YEAR TO SHINE. I THINK THIS SONG IS EXACTLY WHAT KELLY NEEDED TO GET THE URBAN FANS THAT SHE DIDN'T GAIN FROM HER DEBUT SOLO PREMIERE. OH AND BY THE WAY, I'M SURE HE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO PAY CASH FOR HIS CARS SO NO...CAR NOTES ARE NOT FOREVER.

OMG! The Kelly & Eve song be hitting it in the clubs and the song is rising up the charts are we speak once. The album comes out in June so by the end of this month the song will be in the top 20 and by may it will be in the top 10 :) I would say your hating but you just ain't caught on yet!

Polow is sexy as hell!Damn!

Polow is a monster, and my favorite producer after the runners. I didn't even know he was part of that jim crow group, but yea I am a producer too, and I believe I am better than him lol. But I respect tha nigga though. What yall call hot or wack, it doesn't really matter because if tha nigga getting his paper, its working regardless of what these fuck boys think.

You people should stop hatin'! U have no idea what this mother fucker knows!

what the hell are u talkin about?!... the brand and timbaland "afrodisiac" album collabo was str8 fire(despite not really commercial success) and based on radio play, "like this" is dope... plus I've read in numerous sources that his real name actually is Polow... Polow-Freache... this nigga is the dopest breakout producer since Ye West

SOHH, i just had to add these comments, just for u. first it seems like u doing more hatin than anything. u may try to act like u were only writing an informative article but i read between the lines and see nothing but HATIN. no matter what ur profession is, u go into every situation with a strong and positive mind, meaning u can turn water to wine no matter what task is placed in front of u. polow isnt into it for the money, he's all about the music. its something he loves with a passion and he's been that way since he was a youngin. also, when he purchased new automobiles (u forgot to mention the mansion he bought as well HATA) for family members, please belive it was not a set back, nor are there any car notes. it was a thank u to his parents. if u notice, he purchased those things for loved ones, not himself. he isnt flashy like that and understand his bank is lovely. i know him personally and i was very offended by some of your comments. next time do a little more research rookie, keep it pimpin. ZONE 4 ALL DAY HATA!

Rodney Jerkins and Danity Kane? They only did one song together so that is not even valid. Diddy just hired him for a banger not for a whole album. Polow has done a great job on making a new song. Hes across the board from Fergie to Ludacris. If he gets a hold of Brandy I feel like thats a good look because his music would go hand and hand with her crazy harmonies.
Why would you even mention Paris Hilton? Get the hell out of this blog man. Timbaland at a time could barely help anybody out and now he is on top of his game. So if Polow has one slip up its cool. Besides Kelly's single was in the top 50 and thats not bad
