This easily could have come out in 1997. LOVE the Biggie sample and the old school Mary shout outs. Ross really channels Biggie's style here too.
I like it! Sounds so dated though so I don't know how radio will react.

Also it seems like Monica is literally the only artist who still uses Missy as a producer. Just shows how they're both stuck in 1997 lol

This is a hot 90's throwback.

Yeah, it's definitely just "there." It doesn't have a hook.

I agree that it has no strong hook. The sample and the build up were really hot for a throwback and then when it gets to the chorus it goes nowhere.

Monica is standing up for Lil’ Kim after the rapper’s verse was unexpectedly removed from her new single “Anything (To Find You).”
When the Notorious B.I.G.-sampled song made its debut at No. 71 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this week, Kim’s name was nowhere in sight. A rep for Monica’s label J Records tells Billboard.com that the raptress was cut entirely from the official version due to contractual issues.
Monica took to Twitter to express her disappointment and vowed to get her friend back on the song. “I am just finding out what has happened to my single and myself & Missy are beyond hurt that @lilkim was removed,” tweeted Monica. “She’s our friend, a legend & @lilkim will get the respect she deserves at all cost. The clearance was revoked & I’m fighting to get it reinstated by the Biggie Estate.”
According to Monica, Biggie’s mother Volleta Wallace did not clear the “Who Shot Ya?” sample with Kim. “We respect all parties involved & were gonna do WHATEVER to keep the song as is because @lilkim the bizness on the record,” she added. “I am as thorough as they come and I LOVE @lilkim bottom line is Ms Wallace has the final say and she said No. If we put it out we get SUED. ”
The newly married singer responded to upset fans, saying, “Your directing your anger in the wrong place & I am far 2deep in the game 2play games. These r facts. Still fighting 4 Kim to be on it.”
In a previous interview with “The Lil’ Kim Fan Club Show,” the Queen Bee said that her verse was shortened to make room for Rick Ross and that her full rap would appear on Monica’s seventh album, New Life, due in October.
“Monica is one of the realest b*tches I’ve met in this game,” said Kim, who is readying the release of her own single “Looks Like Money.”

I actually like the hook! This song is decent enough...nothing special.

The whole Kim drama is a mess.

Kim was the best thing about the song. Monica is headed down the wrong path again.

Monica takes it back to the ’90s in the video for “Anything (To Find You),” the first release off her seventh album New Life, arriving November 8. The newly married singer lights up the dark warehouse with her smile as she sings the Missy Elliott-produced record, which samples Biggie’s “Who Shot Ya?”
She keeps it ‘hood while rocking a designer wardrobe and performing scenes with a ghetto blaster. Rozay makes a flashy cameo, showing off his Jesus pieces in the Chris Robinson-directed clip. But we were still left longing for appearances from Missy and Lil’ Kim, who was removed from the song.

This is such a flop. I thought radio was going to embrace Monica since she had two really big Urban hits from her last album, but that's looking more and more like it was a fluke.

This is a flop because it sucks @ss. If she releases something good, I'm sure Urban will jump on it.

"New Life" has been pushed back to November 29, so I'm sure they'll be releasing something else soon.
