He's getting bashed in the press, I just don't think this song is that bad. I kind of like it. It's smooth. It's not his best, but it's not awful is it? (Ive only heard it once)

It's basically Frontin Pt 2.

To say sounds like 'frontin'' thats just been lazy. It has an MJ vibe.
anyone get the album yet?

He appears with a handbag on the video!!!!

He looks like a dreadful teletubbie!

i love the song

i kind of like the song, but i think that the Kanye West bits
are too intrusive. it would be such a nice song with just him
singing and perhaps a rap by Kanye somewhere in there but the
constant "come on - yeah - everybody - say - come on" blablab

it's just too much and destroys the song imo

miguelbulcao said:

yeah, what's up with the bag?

reminds me of Friends when joey
had the bag for some audition on
his arm all of the time

it's not a bag it's a man purse

I like the song. It's mellow and catchy and the bassline reminds me of something from Off the Wall so there's instant appeal there. I don’t need to hear Kanye but what can you do. Obviously the bag is a nod to the new Louis Vuitton campaign in which he’s one of the new models for their luggage and carryalls. Kate Moss for women.

Don't you know the handbag is to carry around the mythical sk8board and those badass pullovers? The latest fashion in contemporary hip hop is obviously slimming English spring apparel. Can I have it like that? You got it like that.

U can catch Pharrell perform this song tonight on Leno.

Don't tell me that Pharell is Lance's new friend...

I love it. It does flow really well. I think some people on here just want to trash anything he does. I'm going to cheapo and get his album today. He's talented and he's SUCH a hottie!

You mean a man purse?

I think the song is dope and I still want his new album.

Its worse then usual (at least "angel" was quite good for him)


Maybe finially the press in general have had enough of him and his sound.

I've got it, it's sounds pretty decent...

a lot of people slept on that Star Trak album he had out in summer '03, the one with "frontin'" on it? a lot of people didn't like it, but i just thought it was different...

i mean i was blasting it out my car...

Ive been listening to the album. Still not sure how I feel about it. A bit of a let down so far. Is Chad involved at all?

JackieBlue said:

i mean like i said its okay, its not something that will probably stay in my disc changer in my car for long...i give it a month, and thats not too bad a cd if it stays in there for that long. So far i like cut #2, the rest of the album, besides my fav. song "Number 1", is sort of slow....it has its bangers here and there, but most of it is slow.

i still need a second listen though, you talkin' about somebody who spent 4 years on and off getting in Raphael Saadiq's first album....

Actually I hadn't realized... it actually was released yesterday!!

So was Chappelle's Lost Episodes dvd.

Okay, I literally just discovered about 5-6 more songs that I havent listened to--dont ask how such a thing happened. So Im looking forward to listening to these other songs. Maybe there are stronger cuts I havent heard yet. My fingers are crossed.

JackieBlue said:

No.
