why is jay soudin like charles hamilton? same half ass delivery…
Sounds decent enough, peace out!
Kanye ripped this.
Kanye seized the opportunity to rip shit.
co-sign on Kanye. It’s cool though
Another agreement with the Kanye comment… This joint is good, I expected more though.
KanYe went in on this track.
Hov… ehhh, no so much. I expected better.
@Trill
Lazy Maybe
half ass not even
charles hamilton definitely not
Boring
I’m waiting to hear Chris Brown on the remix.
HOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PROPER!!!!!!
Attention Toyota RAV-4 owners:
Kanye just dissed you.
Single is very pedestrian; kanye did rip it! I am interested in the Jay/Drake collabo.
Uh this song’s pretty good.
Maybe too much Rihanna.
And is just me or did ‘Ye sound a lot like Weezy?
Ye did his thing I cant even remember what jay was spittin
Rhianna did a better job than jay z
lol @ The Grip
I thought the joint with Drake was supposed to be the first single from the album. Truth be told, I don’t remember Jay ever having a featured artist on his first single from any album. Are we sure this just isn’t a leaked track?
I think there are a lot of people who are just taking the opportunity to hate on Jay-Z right now. This song isn’t great, but it is good.
^^Agree w/ Cam, Jay is kinda forgettable on this. And why would he say you can call me Caesar–who was assissinated by supposed friends?
Rihanna’s too…present–it’s a lotta chorus/hook, not enough Jay.
Yeezy was nice.
Ehh, its ok.
I’m sorry, I know a lot of you around here use the shit, but Kanye…. the no homo and pause shit has got to stop. Can’t wait til that corny shit dies off.
Ye went at it.
it’s good,i guess…kanye needs to put out good ass job by next summer…
i like it, they should have had that part where Rhianna was singing “heyy” sampled and placed into the verses in certain parts
maison martin margiela. jay stays tryna be on some new shit.
sure is missing drake
Kanye took the opportunity to show up big brother. Can’t wait for the video for this one.
All this Drake talk. Do people really rock with that Every Girl song. I thought So Far Gone was ok… i dont know.
I kind of overlooked this earlier but Rihanna actually sounds pretty good on this. Everybody knows shes no the best vocalist but this aint too bad
It’s alright, nothing special – not really vintage Hov, but that time’s passed I guess. The beat is infinitely preferable to anything from 808s and Heartbreak and obviously Ye’s verse is the best thing he’s done in a while…
On the whole does this raise or lower peoples expectations for the album?
HOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
boring…im tired of rihanna
This is just ehhhhhh ::jayz dissin Nas:: for me. Jay was lazy with this. Ye showed up. I will remain curious.
hype > actual song.
once again, overrated Jay-hova rappin for his mindless witnesses so that they can go spread the “gospel” (read “lie”) that this song is the bizness that everyone should invest in.
This song is trash and Jay-Z is rapping about NOTHING as usual. Yeezy is the only one trying to give any breath of life to this dead ass song.
not feeling it after a first spin. rihanna’s vocals are lazy and the beat lacks knock, but kanye’s “ass that would swallow up a g-string” line was great. i agree without everyone ^^^ kanye def threw down a better verse and punchlines.
so did i miss the part where jay completely stopped tryin to be lyrical? cuz it definitely happened…maybe he should START writing his shit down in his old age.
LATE PASS:
Hov, I plead my allegiance. But that has been on account of J. Cole. Rihanna does nothing for this track, Hov’s flow is a little weak on this one, and Kanye…That Rav 4 line was hard! He’s the only one satisfactory on this.
Folks, I think Mr. Carter just got murked on his own tracked.
