    it’s ok… Kanye should promote his own album (which is amazing) and Jay should go back to dreaming of Rihanna.

  2. CallJAM January 11, 2011

  7. dakkylove January 11, 2011

    Over rated BS Jay Z killed it tho

  8. Becca January 11, 2011

    surprisingly horrible.

  9. D.Strock January 11, 2011

    Production was amazing and seriously epic. The actual rapping parts though were underwhelming.

  10. BREEZYTHEBEST January 11, 2011

    I love Jay but WTF is this. So not feeling this song but It has Kanye and Jay name attached to this so it will sell, whatever.The production seems rushed but maybe the rest of the album will be a winner.

    Utter rubbish. Kanye has lost his lyrical touch. Back in the day, he could talk about real issues in a insightful manner. Now a days his flow and lyrics have been lacking ALOT. However, his producers ear to his songs are still of a high quality.

    Jay-Z has nothing to speak about either. His a big BORE. Most of the time with him i feel his unreachable to the average joe, the audience. Like everything he raps is gold when at recent times his been average. The public put him as the king of rap when actually his just a smart business man playing dress up.

    The album will sell because of whose on it and not because of the quality of content. While this happens, slepted on artists like Fabolous and Ryan leslie are being heard only by the wise and beautiful. Wake up people.

  15. Royalkev January 11, 2011

    I likes! … but I agree with Futurestardelux, Kanye should promote his album – it’s amazing! JayZ just need a way in, so that he doesn’t lose people’s interest.

  16. dakkylove January 11, 2011

    @Wonderland19 you really hit the nail on the head, Kanye’s lyrical content is now Nil..Jay still brought it though but i could have done without this song..

    I agree. Kanye use to be so unique. Now, hes just like the other rappers…

    Come on guys, this is horrifically bad!!! That beat is a total abomination… it is one of the sh@ttiest commercial beats I have ever heard in my life. And I can dig tight commercial ish like black n yellow, g6, etc etc, or jay electronica/homeboy sandman wutevas tight, But damnnnn….. I mean what in the hell is up with that terrible opera bullsh@t in the song??? it doesn’t even sound like the song was professionally mixed! Wocka Flocka’s producer??? somebody tell these guys they aint from atl or anywhere remotely close to the south, so what if jay used to dribble down in V.A. , he sure cant pick beats. I mean, kanye… WHY would you not produce the beat yourself at least and make it some dope throwback style? WORST SONG OF THE YEAR PERI”OD!!! and I love old kanye and jay-z. Ok, i just like old kanye, not love.

  25. jamal January 11, 2011

    @wonderland, fabolous is subpar at best, boring as hell… and why the hell are you quoting anyone from danity kane you p@ssy? jay had a decent verse for the first half.

  26. RONALDMATTERS.COM January 11, 2011

    iDon’t really understand the opera vocals…and the beat is a Rick Ross reject beat.

    BUUUUUUUUUT…both of their voices are great on the track.

    Stans gon’ go H.A.M. and it’ll be a hit.

  27. RONALDMATTERS.COM January 11, 2011

    …OMG. AND THE SONG WAS DONE AT 2:45 KANYE AND THESE LONG ASS DRAWN OUT DRAMATIC ENDINGS IZ A FOOL!!!

  28. WTF January 11, 2011

    WTF IS THIS?

  29. WTF January 11, 2011

    These two right here you can tell that they lost their SOUL.

  30. James January 11, 2011

  32. T-sParkz January 11, 2011

    ROTFLMAO!

    MAN FOR A MINUTE THERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE SERIOUS!

    THIS HAS GOT TO BE A JOKE!

    DAMN, FAILED LYRICS, JACKED UP RHYMES, A LITTLE FLOW, AND A B**** NAME JAYZ CAN RUIN AN OTHERWISE HEALTHY MIND!

    BUT HEY, TO EACH HIS OWN I GUESS!

  37. Imanni January 12, 2011

    Well its not bad BUT its not the best either. It DAMN sure aint no breakout single. There gonna have to come out with another single if they want this album to sell.

    RONALDMATTERS.COM

    I agree im getting tired of these short songs and long dramatic endings. He did the same tjing on 808’s Heartbreak and that was the only thing I hated about that album

    RONALDMATTERS.COM: “Don’t really understand the opera vocals…and the beat is a Rick Ross reject beat.”

    Co-sign. Any time this song comes on, I’m just gonna start saying “Big Meech, Larry Hoover”.

    I didn’t get anything from this song. Then again, I wasn’t expecting it to be hot.

  39. InTheBusiness January 12, 2011

    This is TERRIBLE! I am huge fan of Kanye West & Jay Z but I am sorry this is a MISS to me. Idk what some of you hear BUT im not feeling this. #Fail.

  40. HALF AMAZIN January 13, 2011

    “I’m about to go HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM”??

    Shoulda just left the acronym out cuz it sounds corny. Not awful but not my fave. Wonder who’s ghost writing for Jay now.

  41. VA STAND UP!! January 15, 2011

    Well..it’s not horrible …but I am not loving it as of right now. From two heavyweight rappers I would have expected more. *shrugs* The beat is hard and Jay murdered, but Kanye failed to impress me and al that opera singing at the end got on my nerves. It honestly sounds like an intro rather than something that will be released as an actual single. *shrugs*

    Kanye is my dude, but for some reason Jay really annoys me. *shrugs* I am excited about this album project so hopefully their will be something that I can really enjoy. I just hope their egos don’t come forth to much. Lol!
