So there's a version without Ludacris either? ;) I'll just have to settle for what it is.

LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT: I CANNOT TAKE THIS SONG SERIOUSLY, EVEN AS A SLOW JAM, AND I DON'T THINK NO ONE WILL.....THAT'S WHY I LUV IT! I honestly crack up every time I hear Lil' Jon & especially Ludacris' part (try not to laugh when he rhymes 'comfortable' and 'Rudy Huxtable',oh and the verse: 'you don't have to fight back/here's a pillow bite.....that' LOL! indeed.) I even laugh at Usher's part cuz he's sounds like the only one taking the song seriously, which is hilarious and makes this train wreck even more enjoyable. Grade: B for sheer kitsch. Oh....did I mention it's a massive hit....should I be shocked ???, it's like 'Men In Black II' where everybody hated it or found it laughably awful but still grossed $190 million. tsk

Does anyone have a good quality version of the Lil' Jon-less version? ^^ Are some stations playing the version with Lil' Jon's "rap"? I've only heard the one with Usher and Ludacris. One of my pop stations is playing it with Lil' Jon's verse, and the other one is playing it without.

This is kinda lame. It just sounds like they coughed this up in 5 minutes for a quick cash-in. And of course, it worked.

I can't get into this song as much as I thought I would. I liked all of Usher's own singles this year far more than this.

People need to realize this wasn't even supposed to be a single. The second single from Lil' Jon's album is "Roll Call". So I wouldn't be calling this a flop because it's doing pretty damn well for an unreleased song.

This song is horrible. Radio is playing it because they will eat anything up that Usher releases cause he is the "hot" thing right now. The only part I like is Usher's high notes towards the end. Otherwise, its horrible to say the least.

I heard this on Z100 today-I hadn't heard the version with Lil Jon's rap until now Way to take a really nice, albeit rather 90s-sounding, slow jam and utterly destroy it. Lil Jon should've just stuck to producing the song without feeling the need to put himself in it.

Yeah it is pretty funny that usher is the only one taking this song seriously. Usher is acting he is on his death bed trring to sing this song while Ludacris is just talking and Lil John is just, well... being himself. im tired of it but it is getting good numbers for a song that wasnt even suppose to be a single and it is helping Lil Johns album sales. Im sure people dont think his album is #3 because of Roll Call.

Lil Jon ruins the song. Without him, it'd only be mediocre. This should peak in the 20's and fizzle. However, since Usher is featured on it, straight to the top 10.

It was the biggest jumper of the week, moving 27-22 on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40.
