This new song really goes hard, I love it. Everybody snaps, I even love the simplicity of the production. I recieved a lot of e-mails about this song just today. I am really interested to see who’s project this goes on, Lupe Fiasco’s, or Kanye’s new album. To me, it just seems right that the 3 of them would get on a track together. I am really eager to get the production credits on this song as well. It sounds like it could possible be one of Pharrell’s productions, but I’m not exactly sure. Either way, I’m digging this song. It’s a good look for the three of them.

Simple….VERY simple..maybe I’ll get in it more when I see the video…hope it’s not as simple as the song. I think those three could do better…but I’m more anticipated about Janelle Monae. Oh yea..am I first? Click on my name!
Wow I’m shocked, but I like it
cool song!
I’m just sick of Kanye (next album will fail). Sick of Pharrell (failure album). Sick of Ne-Yo’a. Oh, she’s on on this post.
this is off kanye’s mixtape. their group’s called CRS. “chicago runs shit”
P.S.
Lupe Fiasco is HAWT!
1. dramacat800 ~ when I clicked on your name, a training bra keeps poppin up! WTF???
Gays taking over!
I thought this song would be hot with the three of them on it…it’s wack.
Ah finally some real music & real lyrics. Very nice rhythm. I will be bumping it all day. The dissonance in the piano line is amazing. I LOVE the fact that is is simple. Tired of it being all about the production & not about the lyrics. I have always thought these 3 should do a compilation album together but as much as I love Kanye I think his ego would get in the way lol. NYCE!!!
*GASP* what???!!! It should be my myspace….that’s what it went to when I click it!!!
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!
That is FIYAH!
i give it **1/2 for creativity..doesn’t sound like any crap on the radio so i’m down for it. but its not a straight banger…kanye can do better. sound like they were playing or fiddling with some new sounds and slapped it on the mixtape.
its not wack, but not smashing either
It’s interesting, but sounds pretty lazy. I think im neutral on this song.
LUPE IS MY BOO!!!!
PHARRELL IS SUPER SEXY!!!!
I like kanye but could really care less about him being on this track becuz I love L & P together!!!
I can’t hear the song. I like all 3 it should be interesting. Lupe hmmmm
I guess because the song does not talk about killing someone, cooking something over the stove, or a stupid dance people want to say its wack? The song is different, it does not have a beat that has been used in several other songs and the song has lyrical content. G.O.O.D music along with good lyrics that speak some truth – Lupe talking about all the money in the world and the things you surround yourself around aint gonna take the pain away – KanYe hit the nail or the head talking about these MySpace models – and I have yet to know the hell Pharrell talking about…lol
damn, I thought it was an actually threesome…
This song is fire…. it’s actually sampling “Eraser” from Thom Yorkes(radiohead) album of the same name… and shit my favorites on one track
@ 17 I disagree with you.CRS whatever they call themselves talk what everybody else talk about.If you ever have their albums listen closely they are not fooling nobody.
The singer kinda sort of sounds like Bilal. I love Bilal n’ he has been jump’n on a few tracks lately n’ been sound’n flawless! I love this cause Lupe is such an amazing lyricist n’ Pharrell, need I say more, I love that dude.
I love Lupe so I hope I like it. I’ll check it when I get home.
@ #17, speaking for myself, I didn’t expect to hear them talking about killing, cooking up, or dancing. I’ve heard plenty of songs discussing those things that ARE wack, so those topics have nothing to do with a song being hot or not…the song is just wack IMO.
I love this song and it was a pleasure to hear Lupe Fiasco because he is a talented artist.
damn, gotta wait till after work to hear it.
I like the three of them seperately, but ummmmmmm……somebody slippin because this track should’ve never left the studio.
It’s iighttttt, to me the chorus cud’ve been better, i agree with #14
this is a Thome York Sample….the guy who’s singing…and the music is Thom Yorke from Radio Head. I know we will never hear about him on Concrete Loop but if you want to expand your mind you should listen to his music.

I think it’s a dope song. And you know Lupe killed it. I liked Kanye’s verse too. And of course, you know Skateboard P is that dude. The beat is different, but the song altogether is dope.
Hot joint. Kanye nor Pharrell produced this. They’re just rappin’ over Thomas Yorke’s (from Radiohead) song, “The Eraser”
I agree #5 Chicago is RUNNIUNG IT!
There is just something about Lupe that is so…sexy.
He is one of few rappers that can actually rap and look good.
And I like the song.
it’s not bad, i think i have to listen to it again, even though the first verse sounds like something they’ve all already had songs about. it wasn’t instantly a hot ass song as soon as i heard it.
AGAIN, I LOVE ANYTHANG BY PHARRELL!!!!!!!
Sherance, yeah all of N.E.R.D’s albums are DOPE AS F*Ck I bump them CONSTANTLY. In Search of & Fly or Die STAY in my Itunes recently played lol. I think that aspect of our music is SO slept on in todays bubblegum world!!! SMH!!!
Bouga, well said luv, well said.
On my plane ride, I’ll play this song to put me to sleep. I was expecting something mellow, but still hyphy. I wonder who’s doing the chorus. It’s a chill listen though.

***in my best Martin Lawrence voice: “shut up tommy, you know you ain’t got no job!” hehe!
i love it but who is singing on the hook? sounds like adam levine.
lol @ those claiming to listen to Thom. pharrell extended the verses and changed the drums & snares. CRS = Crew Reigns Supreme ( well I got the R & S right)
I’ll listen to it when I get home…I loved Lupe’s album, I’m anticipating big things for that man. Also, I love Kanye’s new song “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”…if that song ain’t reppin my current thoughts I don’t know what is!
This song is hot, and yes, definately simple.
Not feeling Pharrell’s singing. They could have put Ashanti on this. Would have been perfect for her voice I think.
@are you serious?
THANK YOU.
this is a good song but of course ppl would rather be banging umbrella-ella-ella instead of something that actually has a message. that’s why true artists don’t make any money. ppl are so hoodwinked by the glam of some of these stage performers that they start claiming unoriginality to be original and true original ppl become wack.
@roberto yeah it’s from “the eraser”
LOVE the song! Because I love Lupe’s music. I also LOVE Thom Yorke. His song “Harrowdown Hill” is my CRACK! The song samples “Eraser”, that’s Thom on the chorus. I will be copping Lupe’s second album “The Cool” when it drops. He’s amazing.
The fact that they mashed it with Thom Yorke makes me love it even more. This is FIRE!
LMMFAO @ #7 Meat. YOU WRONG!!!
I like it. It’s fly. Plus, I love Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell but, Kanye is okay.
Incredible…..
Swizz Beatz Vs. Kanye West!!! And an extended version of UGK’s International Player’s Anthem Video…..Only at http://www.YOUHEARDTHATNEW.com
I really liked this song. I think the simplistic is the best approach with that beat.

Shut up! This is not high school.
Dear all you mainstreamers:
Pharrell is overrated.
Kanye West is VERY overrated (and that pic of him is very turn-offish).
As for Lupe Fiasco, I am gonna be honest. I am not being a hater but having an opinion and a point-of-view that comes rare on this website. But if you listen to mostly what’s on the radio then you are gonna think Lupe Fiasco is the best rapper of 2007, a genius, a breath of frsh air, etc…But if you are an true listener to underground hip-hop you will realize that Lupe Fiasco is nothing unique. He is just like Mos Def, Common, etc…the only difference Lupe is mainstream and is on the verge of being overrated. I’ll say this it is good Lupe is getting radio play so you young, dumb, yet-to-come people can listen to concious rap for once…but, to me, his music is boring and I have heard better from rappers that are unknown. He is talented and very adorable, but he is nothing unique.
*fresh
I wouldn’t say Pharell is overrated.
But “Skateboard P” is just unbearable.
As I have said in a many of Pharell post, I prefer him behind the scenes, on a hook or two and mostly in his N.E.R.D vibe.
51. foxxy380 ~ I shoulda knew yo ass was gonna crack the code! hehe!
I think song cool and differnet but its not going to do anything …it probably wont hit the charts because now a days ppl dont know what rap is. But I hope that people hear the message that they trying to bring.
