What do you guys think of this song? I think the beat is pretty dope, the lyrics are terrible. Seems like it has some good remix potential. Put a new acapella on it, and it would probably be pretty hot.

Only thing I can say is....

This shit is Banana's
B A N A N A S...

WHAT THE $@¢@¢£@£¢$%$ !!!!

As for the beat, the Neptunes did better track than that... it sound kind of hollow to me. And I do like simple beats.

I agree, Gwen needs to stay the fuck away from hiphop...I only had real repsect for her as a singer when she was with no doubt....At least then she didnt water down her material and make horrible pop tunes.....Gwens basically sold out in my opinion becuase theres no "substance" in her music anymore.....shes all "club-crap" and boring "heard that before" bullshit now, so i cant say i dig her these days....Its unfortunate really too becuase shes actually a really talented and beautiful singer who used to really apply herself as far as what she could really do with that voice as well as being a pretty good songwriter....Now, shes just Pooh.

As far as the beat goes, i suppose part of the chord progression is cool and theres some nice tones in there on occasion, but i cant get over that cheesy ass 80s synth that plays throughout the entire song, its maaad anoying to me.

I kinda liked the track until it got to the bananas part. Even with the Midnightstar "Freakazoids" drum loop in it. For a pop song it is exactly what it's supposed to be.......full of meaningless lyrics; but with a catchy tune. I agree that Gwen should go back to her No Doubt style. Maybe this is just a phase and she'll get over it soon.

Yo I agree 100% that song wasn't written to change the game it's a party song meaning it was written so that when you at a party or club the girls go crazy and some freak wants to grind. thats the whole purpose of the song period.
