You like 50's verses on there tho? Lol. I feel you on the beat, and JT's hook is fire too...but 50 sounds so corny on that shyt
Yea 50's rapping definitely didn't age well on this. Now that I think of it he was never the highlight of the record, definitely Timbo and JT

One of the hardest beats I've ever heard tbh and I always thought the song was dope
Tim is my goat producer but the frustrating thing about him is, he has so many fire beats that end up as wack songs...or perceived as wack songs anyway....usually its because he'll give a dope beat to a mediocre rapper but sometimes a dope rapper will take his shyt and not kill it like they're suppose to.

(again, wtf were Banks and 50 thinking on My House?:stopitslime:)

i like this song but i understand why people dont...50 was :ld: on it and it didnt really fit him

Same shyt with Are We Cuttin by Pastor Troy...I love that song and that beat is :ohlawd: but for the majority, thats not how they're trying to hear Pastor Troy

This.

Still think "Are We Cuttin" should have been Ms. Jade single featuring Ludacris.

7/10 song

9/10 beat

song was a moderate hit but if somebody else used it might’ve been a lot more popular.

The best was a straight jack from Crystal Castles first album. Tim didn’t even try to hide it.

That's not the sample and even their song isn't the original. This was lifted for BOTH songs:


"AYO Technology" dropped before the Crystal Castles song. "AYO" dropped in 2007 and the Crystal Castles song was released in 2008.

A lot of the recordings from that first crystal castles album go back as far as 2005. Most of that project was compiled loosies. The song itself could have been recorded before AYo.

Either way, I thought their version was better than the Tim version (which would have been better had it been given to the right artist. 50 felt out of place)
