Nope, I’ve listened and listened and I can’t take it any more. I’ve posted a few half-assed “positive” comments elsewhere (it’s “just business” etc.) but I’m lying to myself…

This track is a washed-out, souless piece of cheese-stinking crud. That the Philly crew had to stoop this low for attention breaks my heart.

It’s not just a bad by their standards, it’s bad by ANY standard. Will even the high-school emo rock crowd feel this s***? I doubt it. Even Riq can’t rescue this one.

Wait, perhaps it’s a *joke*, did I hear that? Well, is anyone laughing? Are the Okayplayer crowd winking and nodding sagely, exchanging knowing looks at ?uesto’s wry send-up? If it’s a joke, nobody gets it. Even if its a joke…its not funny. Either a bad song, or a bad joke. Either way it stinks.

Who all suck now (and Talib was never good to begin with).
