Ugh. I’m seriously losing my anticipation for this album…

2. ATXlives Says:

this is a whack track; Ri-Ri is awful. HOVA’s versus lack ingenuity and the usual exceptional flow we have come to expect from the ROC. Kanye’s verse is good but really has nothing to do with the general theme of the song; sad to say but Ye’s verse is the one you’ll wanna listen to again; Ri-Ri’s chorus has no place in a rap album; too reminiscent of the steaming pile of bullshit that was Umbrella.

That said, this track has a unique rap&b vibe and will make the charts because of Ri-Ri’s & Ye’s involvement. So far the best track of B3 is D.O.A. and i cant wait for SEPT 11.

f- the game.

Jay using some kind of Soulja Boy flow, the overuse of “ay’s” and boring ass production. I think I’ll pass.

Yes, everyone should keep in mind that Jay’s every public move is to enhance his portfolio, even at the cost of artistic integrity.

“if you AINT anticipating it you dont know nothing bout HIP HOP”

“make milloins first, den become a critic”

I weep for the future.

Nah. Kanye killed it, I mean why was Jay even on the track. Stop apologizing for Jay, lol. I mean I know you guys like him but still. If Rhianna wasn’t on the track it would be a sleeper hit they would have waited until sometime late 2010 to drop.
