I think that was the worst part, it was over hyped. If it wasn't so over hyped I would like it more. It's pretty good, but nothing outstanding.

No No No don't even give it "pretty good" to be nice. Let's be honest, it sounds like an attempt at a catchy dance song/club tune and falls flat on its face. The beat is nonsense and neither flows well or delivers anything remotely good in the form of lyrics with low lights like "I had to bring my guns to work, Gilbert Arenas" ...GTFOH Jay. If Dre wanted a fresh sound to get people moving, he should have called Drake or Weezy to go the pop route...he's not faking anyone out with that nonsense.

It's supposedly not on the album anymore, but that doesn't matter since the album will never release. This doesn't even sound finished or mastered.

I thought they were going to do a remake of the Queen song, "Under Pressure":

I am NOT sure it is a great move to just post a song on here and tell people to "enjoy", because it is presumptive that most people will actually enjoy it. If it isn't a case, then the word "enjoy" becomes a command that people rebel against.

remi are when you gonna start hearing me loud and clear? There was a thread specifically created this basketball season on this board asking posters which albums they were highly anticipating(I believe after Jay's BP3 release) and of course posters said Em and Dre. I specifically honed in on why posters were in anticipation of Dre's project after it had been pushed back a guiness book of world records number of times. I literally lol and was like I could care less if it ever comes out. I said to ya'll.... real talk...... if it takes an artist nearly a decade to produce a project then it isn't worth it. I'm not talking about leaving music and then coming back to do a project...I'm referring to starting one and it taking almost a decade to complete. That's insanity and very gimmicky. Especially from a Hip-Hop artist like Dre. It's called building you up for a major let down due to high expectations, but they feel they got it like that because of the want. It's the very reason why I don't understand how Em gets these rave reviews. Now you know exactly how I feel and multiply it by an infinite number more for myself

As far as the track goes.... it would have been a decent track maybe 5-6yrs ago but it sounds somewhat stale and a little too bandwagon for the current sound of music. It wasn't bad but definitely mediocre considering the artists at hand.

Oh well this is what all of you get if you feel disappointed

Hey did you see the Alchemist and Just Blaze link I posted the Top 5 thread?
