Quick rundown:-
Lethal - standard Lethal, no more no less.
JME - "well, well, well" bars from Blam, pretty cool.
Wiley - "wududududadadada", wasn't sure what the fuck he was doing at first, but with multiple plays it becomes really catchy. Bars come from a tune he released a few weeks before, one of his "ok I'm definitely back doing grime now part 228" kinda tracks.
Chipmunk - Once you go yank you never go back, lyrics about swagger and money, still, not especially bad, and definitely not the worst here.
2Face - Pretty hype but what's with the line "how can you say I ain't hard, shut up you ain't hard either", isn't that admitting that he'd not hard?
P Money - Pretty hard yeah, quite typical P Money, he used these bars as a hook on one of the songs on the Ibeatthetune mixtape.
Ghetts - Skippy flow, pretty cool, standard Ghetts
Kano - Really shit, one of the worst verses I've ever heard. Of all the versions of pow 11 I've heard, this is the worst verse. Kano is TERRIBLE nowadays and this examplifies it better than no other. Terrible, completely loses the hype and momentum Ghetts had built up. Bullshit way to end and what's worse is he gave him a fucking 16 bar! The first four bars are "I'm old-school, I'm from the manor, I duppy every rave, bitch I'm MC Shaba". Seriously, that's his contribution, what a fucking waste.
But before that it's pretty good. Not as good as the original Pow obviously, or any of the others (Forward 2 All-Stars, Forward 2 Fire Camp, Da Bizzle Remix) or some of the other 8 bars to come out this year (Lock Off the Rave 8bar Remix, Pull Up Dat 2011, Spartan Remix) or even some of other versions of Pow 2011 (the Wales all-star version linked in StemLongStem's review is indeed much better) since the instrumental's a banger. Also youtube the remix by DJ Raph, mixes in different instrumentals that each MC is known for spitting over, it's really sick.
Pretty good tune but for sure it doesn't live up to the expectations set by the original. Still, circulated a great Silencer riddim and got grime in the top 40, can't argue with that. It's mostly a historical piece, all these MCs on one tune together isn't likely to happen again any time soon.
