Whether or not he was prophetic on that track, I always thought that was easily one of the second discs weaker moments....Jay seemed out of place, the beat is lackluster, the content boring...I was only in high school, but you can apply those kinda of vague blanket statements about anywhere, house parties, whatever....

And, it's uncomfortable to hear Jay profess his masculinity, 'you know Jay straight like Indian hair.....' uhhh yeah of course, why would you even say that lol
oh boy. well we see you catching feelins in here. you must have been ole boy all up on jigga in the club it seems.

back up homie...

this song was lovely. but you were high school. you had no idea what he was talking about in regards to the club. house parties are not the same. even though they can be better at times. house parties are usually full of people you know and some stragglers. clubs are full of people you dont know. which makes this song make more sense to you. see i live in L.A. any club you hit you're bound to see someone or multiple famous people. When you see the people start to move like a wave toward them its hilarious, especially when the dudes do it. its like bruh, we in the club to get at ladies not tell war stories like he said. yes i've been there and i'm not famous. dude all up on me talking about this and that. and i'm like bruh its like a 10 to 1 ratio in here tonight. Get at one of these hot ones pleaseeee bruh. so this song was par for the course.

Because of the claims made on "Ether". I still feel like BP2 is one big PR campaign for damage control after "Ether". I mean, Jay never came out of the gate with two songs back to back as singles like "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Excuse Me Miss". Those songs painted him as more female friendly which was a far cry from "Who You Wit II" and "Girls, Girls, Girls".
could be true or it could be that jay was growing up. that happens. you get off that Eff dem h.... mentality the older you become. which is how a dude like jay ends up married with kids.

I think 'catching feelings' is a pretty inaccurate and extreme way to characterize my post, and I suppose the song was slightly ahead of it's time, as this kind of song and sentiment is very common material in Drake and Future type artists, inspiring countless memes and statuses....That said, I still think the content is trivial, and slightly embarrassing, not what I want to hear from Jay, I agree with the message, as I am never one to show undue attention to a celebrity, minor or otherwise, but it's execution is sloppy, felt like a throwaway beat and throwaway song....
