Jadakiss featuring Anthony Hamilton - "Why"

[WhySoSerious?]

This will be the second single from Kiss Of Death.

No link, but I heard it today and thought it sounded good. I think it's better than "Time's Up".

It probably won't go for adds for a while.

There is buzz about this song, I'm anxious to hear it

Everyone who's heard it says it's great

Supposedly Jada has lines about Bush knocking down the Twin Towers, and conscious material like that

I guess it's going to be a slower tempo, like Time's Up, which begs the question, why did he go with Time's Up as the lead single in the first place?  It's quite bland, nothing special...especially not for a first single.  He should have came with a club banger for the spring/early summer

Billboard.com had an article about his new album and they don't mention anything about the Mariah or Eminem collabos. I think they may have been done too late in the game and missed the deadline. He was still talking about recording with them, like last week, and the album is due out in a month.

[WhySoSerious?]

The song does comment on what's going on in the world today. I think it's hot.

The Mariah collabo made the cut, but I haven't heard anything about the Eminem one.

I actually like "Time's Up". Maybe I've just heard it too many times, but I think the beat is really hot.

Thanks for the info. I want to hear the Mariah collabo, even though it will probably be some airy 'I know what you want' bootleg.

I'm also interested in the Eminem collabo, if that makes the cut

Yea I like Nate Dogg's hook on Time's Up, even though it is standard Nate Dogg fare

It's not bad...it's a fusion of the East and West Coast which is what Jada was aiming for with this collaboration

and they shot the video in New Orleans (Dirty South), so they have all their bases covered in terms of regional rap...well, except the Midwest

[WhySoSerious?]

Video shoot is today and tomorrow in LA. I love this song now. It's hot.

The audio player has it.  It's alright.  I might like it more if I heard it more.

[HER MINAJesty]

I heard it somewhere, I downloaded it but I forget where

It's pretty damn good

I don't like it.

launch.yahoo.com/musicvideos/lists/new.asp?p=2 has the video.

This is one of my favorite rap singles of the year now, up there with Kanye West's "All Falls Down".

I bumped this to let everyone know that Jadakiss is doing a remix with Common and NaS. There is also word that Jill Scott may redo the hook for the remix.

[WhySoSerious?]

This is his biggest hit ever, no?  It's helped his album hold up well too.

I think this song is even the reason "Charlene" picked up for Anthony Hamilton.

"Time's Up" was his only song other than "Why" to ever make the Hot 100 and that only made #70. So "Why" is easily his biggest hit.

How did his old single "Knock Yourself Out" do? I thought that one was a hit. I like the beat on this one. I wish I had the instrumental.

Knock Yourself Out was hot but the original video was even better than the song lol
