    Like Rhianna”s voice on the track and Kanye”s verse is so sick. As for Jay I have heard better but a hit nonetheless.

    Even if the single does decent in radio, it won’t help jayz that much. He was only heard in a third of the song and Kanye rapped more.

    good song and i dont even like Jay-Z but Kanye ripped it. I love the line when he saids “Everybody on your d*** no homo”. Rihanna does good on the chorus and i dont like her either. I can see me playing this on repeat for awhile.

    yea this song is straight kanye made it hot though jays lyrics were mediocre. Either way Blueprint 3 will be good but the question is if it will be a classic jay z album!

    Good track. Jay and Ye…damn!!! Is it just me or does Rhianna’s voice not work for anyone else on this track??? I’m sorry for everything that happened to RiRi but… I find her voice annoying.

    Kanye killed it. Love him!!!!!!! Not a fan of Jayz and Rihanna don’t like those to. If Kanye wasn’t on the song it would be bad and the cd will not be a hit. Drake CD Bitches

    3.25 outta 4 I gotta say. Its nothing special cuz Rihanna does the same thing. Her voice is dull, sounds like a slur all the time. Compare S.O.S to her voice now, you’ll see the difference. I do believe the quality of the song is overshadowed by who’s on the track. I am a fan of Jay-Z and I always bought his records but this is a little short coming. Its still a hot a** track on fire I must say, but I’m not bias and so the song gets a 3.25/4.
    September 11th!

    Weak song. Jay needs to just sit it down. He’s done. His flow just isnt’ good anymore and he just comes off like the old dude trying to still be cool. Kanye murdered this and I am not even a fan. Rihanna sucks and just cannot sing. Nothing epic or remarkable about this song at all

    I agree with Latoya

    Are you guys even listening to Jay-Z’s lyrics?

    I think it’s a shame that Kanye showed up in this track and Hov’s nowhere to be found.

    I don’t like RiRi on the chorus at all…her voice is not versatile and should not be on beats like this…Mary J. would’ve murdered this if she were on the hook.
