I looked at people's reviews of the album on Amazon. One person named four favorite songs including "Play No Games." One person said "Everyone knows the song" about it. Somebody called it "hella tight." Those are the only ones I saw that mentioned it after 70 reviews. It's poppy and different for them so if their fans don't like it it could mean you would like it. It's poppier than some rap songs that have gone Top 10 on CHR-Pop. launch.yahoo.com/musicvideos/genrehub.asp?genreID=600&p=6What page it's on could change.

I agree about "Play No Games", that had a very different sound than all the "crunk" music he is putting out, specifically "Get Low".
Play No Games is the exact antithesis of "Get Low", "Come Get Some", "Yeah", or whatever Lil' Jon track you can't stand.
It's almost like an R&B track, or the rap 'love' tracks that have been popular of late.
It features Fat Joe & Trick Daddy.
It made the Hot 100 but didn't get out of the 90's, I don't think.
I dont believe "I Dont Give a F" made the Hot 100 at all.
I dont really know why Play no Games fizzled out and didn't become a hit on at least the Urban or Rythmic formats, because if it hit there, then it probably would have gone for Pop adds and done much better on the Hot 100.
but this is not a Lil' Jon album discussion, so...I dunno if we should stop now!

Lil' Jon has featured hits but with no more singles from "Kings Of Crunk," we'll see if they end up a one hit wonder. The album is selling enough that they would be justified releasing a fourth and maybe a fifth single. I still haven't heard "Yeah."

"Yeah" was the biggest mover on the Hot 100 this week, jumping from it's Hot Shot Debut at #53 last week to #40
They would be fools to not go ahead and release this as the 1st single off "Confessions", the way it's getting totally embraced by radio (Urban and Rythmic, at least)
The song is incredibly hot, I've loved it since the first listen and it's been a favourite in my MP3 player ;)
I love everything about the song, from the beat, to Usher's verses, to Luda's rap, to...yea, even Lil' Jon's presence...
It's my favourite song at the moment and nothing comes really close, except for another Lil' Jon aided track, Trilville's "Neva Eva".
So it going for Urban adds on January 20th means it will be the 1st single?

oh and Evan, yea I'm almost 100% positive that "I Don't Give A..." didn't even make the Hot 100, but "Play No Games" did, and as I said, it didn't make it higher than like #92

I heard this song a couple of minutes ago on my local Urban station WBLS. It's pretty good.

uhm this song is doing insane. it's Rhythmic bullet is 1452 (YES, 1452) and it's Urban is 557... it's gonna be so huge. It's already taking off at Pop, too.

why would you payola a heater track?! hahahah... i dont know, its hot enough for it to be really doing this well-- usher's been gone the PerfecT amount of time, lil' jon and luda are huge right now, the beats insane, so... and theres room in the market.
i do think tho that in a couple months, like say by april at least, we'll all be like "SO SICK OF THIS!!!"

Yea that's true, everything adds up to this doing as well as it is doing.
I dont know, its just having such a meteoric rise it seems unreal, that's all.
I've never seen a song just instantly explode like this.
but it is a real hot track, I can't wait to see the video, and I'll probably get Usher's new album.

Usher has just been a key artist at radio for the past 6+ years so I think that has a lot to do with it.

Yep when a key artist puts out a hot single its going to sky rocket. I think Janet maybe Usher's only competition.

I love this song too, one of my favorite at the moment. This is an awesome comeback hit from Usher.

I liked this song more when I first heard it. I can still listen to it but it doesn't get me really going because the beat seems to be missing something to get me all hype...

Will there be an edit of this without Lil' Jon?
That thing's voice really aggravates me, I'll be so happy when this crunk-south trend dies. Guess this will make 2 singles from LaFace/Arista staples that I will reject. :(

LOL, I actually like Lil' Jon, he adds a bit of character to the songs that he is featured on. His style gets me amped and excited for some reason.
