Like his fellow Sunshine Stater Pitbull, Flo Rida is less a rapper than a delivery system for dance beats – some of them ingenious, many of them insipid, all of them inhumanly supersized. But where Pitbull fancies himself an impresario, a hype man, Flo Rida mostly stays out of the way; on Wild Ones he's content to surrender center-stage on his producers (Dr. Luke, soFLY & Nius, Rico Love) and guests stars (Sia, J-Lo), and watch the money roll in. Which is good, considering the alternative: "All around the clock, clock/Up in this spot, spot/Pull up in the Chevy/So classy and hot, hot, hot" "raps" Flo Rida in "Let It Roll."  If you play this album really loud – and leave your brain marinating in formaldehyde on a shelf for a half-hour – it's crudely effective. Play it a second time, and you may want to kill yourself.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
