I think its dope, I dont understand the hate either. But like someone said I wish Nas spit more bars, the last two minutes are pretty Nasless.

Yeah another verse from Nas would've been dope...he was flowing on this.

A hot video could potentially boost sales.

beats trash, and i like Swizz

Nas never gets the best from dude, no reason to ever work with him again. Swizz saves the best shyt for Jay, and is usually a crap shoot with everyone else

Like the song. But this is true (wouldn't say the beat is trash. But Swizz do seem to hold the best beats for jay)

miguel is the only good thing about that song. this might be worse than that song with chris brown on HHID. nas cant make commercial tracks to save his life.

thats one of the biggest misconceptions about nas

Because Nas just doesn't bring that kinda energy to his songs. Ill take Cherry Wine and Stay from Nas. Dude is my favorite rapper but im well aware of his limitations, and summer anthems is definitely one of them.

A summer uptempo Nas track is If I Ruled the World, Thief's Theme, Hip-Hop is Dead, Life Is Mine etc. He's not that "fit the mold" type rapper, and this sounds like another generic Swizz track. It's like You Owe Me..a generic Timbaland track. tracks that anyone can make, or sounds like anyone is just not Nas, and each time it throws off the album.
