Do You 'Love' This Justin Bieber, Kanye & Raekwon Collabo?
I can proudly say that this is the first time I've ever heard a Justin Bieber song. I was all set to turn my nose up at a Bieber collaboration with "The Dark Overlord Who Reigns Supreme Over 90 Second Long Overly-Hyped Videos" aka Kanye West and Wu-Tang's second cuddliest member, Raekwon, but it's not as bad as I expected. It's quite catchy actually. My honest opinion is that the track sounds great with just Justin and Kanye since they appeal mostly to the younger masses. I'm guessing Raekwon is only on this track because Kanye used the "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nothin' To F**k With" beat which is a nice gesture, but the track would have sounded better without Raekwon. Putting Raekwon's verses on this track are tantamount to having some random, confused dude stumbling around on a bubblegum pop tune. It's that weird. In any case, we can all rest easy now that this collaboration has been done. Hopefully, there won't be any more of these in the near future.

I just vomited after listening to this vile pice of rubbish. (and I couldnt ebven make it thru the whole track...)
Daniel | September 6, 2010 10:07 PM | PermalinkIs it just me? I can't stand him. He's just another pretty boy teen idol. He'll be forgotten like Leif Garrett.
Spencer Lawson | September 3, 2010 12:36 AM | PermalinkThe visual of seeing Kanye and Rae lookin' pissed and Justin in the middle with his teeny-bopper, Colgate smile is hilarious to me.
Actually, the song isn't bad.... I just HATE Justin Bieber.
R7Soulkidd | September 2, 2010 9:56 AM | PermalinkAs soon as I heard JB's voice that was it for me. Raekwon happens to be one of my favorites and this just doesn't look right.... I mean really.. look at the pic ... EXACTLY. Wu Tang forever.
Angie | September 2, 2010 9:20 AM | PermalinkI could live without it. Not bad, just ok.
rockonent | September 1, 2010 3:26 PM | PermalinkCrazy !!! a great Marketing tool..Musically it will be the last time I listen to it...Ray the Chef and Ye...I got Justin..kick rocks..! With the Auto-Tunes BS

Nonplussed | September 1, 2010 6:43 AM | PermalinkI just couldn't bring myself to press "play".
i didnt think it was that bad..it went left for me after the raekwon verse..he sounded fine on the track...when JB started to sing it sounded odd...like it needs to be either raekwon and kanye or JB and kanye but not all 3..if this song ever hits the radio i could see pop stations cutting the raekwon verse because all the 12 yo's would be like who's that ?
b brian | September 1, 2010 1:25 AM | PermalinkIt wasn't too bad, it definitly wasn't what I expected. Although JB does remind me of Donny Osmond especially with that photo.
Ash | August 31, 2010 11:17 PM | PermalinkROFL at the picture. It's the tryptic embodiment of wtf. The song is cuter than I anticipated. I too am glad they got it out of their systems.
Ro | August 31, 2010 10:13 PM | Permalinkthe track is cute, but i agree...i could do without raekwon on it
chocognome | August 31, 2010 7:48 PM | PermalinkIs this some kind of sick joke? As much as I cant express enough how much I dis like Justin Beiber, I can't knock anyone for making their money, but that said, really Kanye and Raekwon, the boys voice hasnt even hit puberty yet! Can someone please come up with a cure for this Beiber fever that is spreading like wild fire.
DcHe | August 31, 2010 6:09 PM | PermalinkI love how you have Ye' giving Beiber the side eye LOL. It was okay. If I didn't know anybody, I'd think Justin was from 1973 wit that photo.
