Not a fan of the video. It looks like Jay-Z's recent videos.

The video was ok. I understand this was Nas's single and all but damn! That could have been anybody driving that car. Combining the clips, Keri had a 1.5 second cameo and those are her adlibs all through the song. LOL that is why no1 knows who the hell Keri Hilson is.

Honestly, Keri is lucky she's credited on this at all because there are instances of far MORE established singers singing far MORE prominently as a guest on a song, and still not getting official credits.

Well it's obvious her connection with Polow is what helped her in this case. She is his artist, and with her debut album coming soon it makes sense for him to push her as much as he can over one of his productions.

i dont get this song. the beat is hot. the flow is amazing. the lyrics are stunning. the songs is incredible, but theres no emotional conection there, thats kinda making this song not as powerful as it could be. maybe thats wat y'all are talking about? its good but it doesnt feel good?

The performance of this during the Jimmy Kimmel Show was actually pretty hot. I wasn't feeling the live horn at the beginning but towards the end it added well with the live instrumentation.

Loving the VERY ORIGINAL use of an air-raid siren at the start.

Top 40 at Urban now with a massive +35 bullet. HUGE!
(Seriously, it's depressing to see some of the songs that have huge bullets at Rhythmic right now while this one goes unnoticed.)

I knew this wouldnt be big. It just doesnt sound like a hit AT ALL.
I'm surprised it did as well as it did on itunes though. Probably because its featured in his Fila commercial.

It just doesn't. There is NO hook. Its a bunch of jumbled noise with a random female chanting some inaudible mess in the background.

The song is decent. But, honestly, neither the song nor the album live up to the supposed hype. Hip-Hop Is Dead is better by far.

I can't believe this wasn't a hit. Keri Hilson should've been a three-hit wonder by now. She's had SO MANY people try to help her be a star by featuring her. Timbaland, Nas, Kardinal Offishall, Chris Brown. If she doesn't become big, that's like FAIL to the max.
