The jury's still out on whether to like or hate this song, per se; I need to hear it again. But I wanna know what anyone else who has heard this song thinks.

What I DO hate about it is THE VIDEO!!!!!!!

Now I just have one question for Jada: WTF were you and/or your stylist thinking when you saw and put on the outfits for the video? Your fans already know that's not your steez, so why would you change up your image like that? I know they say change is good, but for you to look like a wannabe preppy is so NOT YOU, and it's NOT a good look!!!! AT.ALL!!!!!! My guess would be that you're trying to be profitable and sell CD's because you couldn't make that money being your true self. *stepping off soapbox*

I took the bait. I don't feel anyway about this song. I guess I'm not a Jada fan, so I can't really give a thorough evaluation on him image,... but I'll give it a shot anyway. :P Maybe he's finally decided to grow up a little and come out of the t-shirts, baseball caps, and 3 or more chains. Actually, he's not too "preppy" considering the prepsters we have seen since Kanye has come out. I really was expecting to see Jadakiss in some Izod or Ralph Lauren. So, it's not terrible. Just unexpected.

Of course, your initial "sell out" theory (not your words) seems kinda on point, too. *shrug*
