Hero, Make the World Go Round, You Won’t See Me Tonight, Nastradamus, You Owe Me, Big Things, Dr. Knockboots, Summer on Smash, Braveheart Party.

Even caught hate for Oochie Wally, a dope club record just for being who he is to then throw that shade on J. Cole years later.

:camby:

"You Won't See Me Tonight" is a dope song that was never pushed as a single. Still >>>>> "Workout Plan". It's also not a crossover attempt. Nas had already reached that same audience with "If I Ruled The World", so what exactly was he crossing over to. Same goes for "You Owe Me" and "Hero". I may be in the minority, but "We Make The World Go Round" was dope too. The rest aren't crossover attempts, they just aren't good.

Man I thought this song was dope when it first came out and it’s still dope...it wasn’t your typical forced rnb/hh collabo its a genuine feel good song about life really...I fux with wutang but gottdamn if majority of there fan aren’t soulless corny non blacks and fake backpackers/purist...

I can't comment on that but I'm a day one Wu fan. I wasn't crazy about the record and Ghost has done way better R&B collabs in the past. The song was just decent to me and an unnecessary first single.

didnt crossover at all whatsoever anyway, and was just kinda :sitdown: vibe all around, singing about girls "finally" turning 18 and they can finally be alone together, and the symbolic blowjob gift imagery in the video. Black Thought was already 37 when he recorded this, at least he tried to acknowledge it and called out R Kelly in the verses, but they shoulda just demanded a different less-pedo hook from Fall Out Boy. Instead they really tried to cross over with it.

This is not the worst by any means but I could see Meek thinking really hard about how he could make a song in which he could retain his style and get white boys to listen to him at the same time, thinking he was a genius :mjlol:



Then he took some time and came back with Tupac back and I'm a boss after some godly Ross motivation speeches
