One of his best, if not his best. Look at all the different songs that bit, borrowed and sampled it.

In real time? ..near the top. I loved that song.


Now? My opinion is this is not one of his better records. It has tons of quotables, was "mature"....but i hate the flow and the over dramatic production.

ill take the song he did with B (let's make lovd in the summertime) over this.
Wow, couldn't disagree more, but salute. I loved this ish the moment I heard it...and this was when I was on super weirdo timing and loathed this nig because I'm a Nas guy, lol...still couldn't front on how great this song was. Just as great today, imo.

I may go with the consensus in here though now that I think about it...I was thinking I'd put it Top 10 just because of how damn near perfect it is to me...but when you really think about Jigga's almost 30 years of work, the catalog is wild stacked, so much legendary fire in there. I'd say Song Cry is probably Top 15-20 ish, for me.

I'll say that this is in my personal top 10. It's the perfect study of a very particular mindset that ppl have in relationships. It's not mature but it's honest.

Reading the credits on this album is like :lupe: ...the songs you think Bink did Just did and songs u think Ye did Just did. :skip: This is one of those songs.

Just was a studio chameleon and his fusion between Bink and Ye styles made the album cohesive. It feels smooth except for the Timbo contribution which I do like but the 3 others moved like a band on this album.
