The best part of this track is in a shoe commercial. Normally, this wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but Slugabed can have a song on television and play Creamcake with A.G. Cook and Hannah Diamond in the same month.
“LEMME TAKE U 4 A RIDE” lives in a world of actual consumerism and played-at consumerism. Has Slugabed sold his soul to the man? Is he merely trolling Foot Locker? Either way, it doesn’t really matter, because it’s at least cool to see some weird, jittery pitched up stuff rather than some raging hip-hop or terrible EDM making a shoe line seem cool. The dubstep and footwork influences marry each other nicely, letting the track meander into some glitched-out futurama while still remaining grounded. Slugabed never takes it too seriously, either, and that’s why it’s cool enough for an Adidas commercial. It’s pointedly frivolous, and what’s cooler than that?
