What "Best Of Both World" could have been. The Nelly/Kelly combo but one notch up the feeding chain and all the better for it. Leaves Eminem's single by the same name in the dust.

it's alright y'know. (nb. my version was a low quality mp3 and i haven't heard it on radio yet tho.)(also: i just got called a hata for talking about my ambivalence towards it on the message board of a local radio station.)(also: toni braxton sez jay-z stole it from her.)

yeah it's not bad but i have a little of the backwards "Ashanti-effect" when hearing it since 2pac flipped this same scheme years ago. i like it a good deal better than the toni braxton take though.

haven't heard it much yet to form a clear opinion, although it's prolly his weakest 1st single since Do It Again

love that weird effect on Jay's voice in the chorus though, that 'rushing toward you' sound that i'd totally groan at if Nigel Godrich used it, but on a Kanye West track it's gorgeous and unexpected.

there really needs to be a moratorium on acknowledging 2pac's influence.

anyone heard the bootleg of his new album? he raps over "ufo"

seven years pass...

Pac's version of "Me and my Girlfriend" is much better. that song deserved darker lyrics, and Tupac's angry delivery. Jay-Z's tune sucks (love the man but not his finest moment).

this song's lame - OP is mad if he's saying it's better than "dilemma"

hearing this for the first time when it was right in the middle of jay vs nas, "made you look" was out and was a banger of all bangers, and i was hugely anticipating what jay was going to do next, is quite possibly the most deflating musical moment i've ever experienced.
