^I can't believe somebody else JUST noticed that. Why dou you think this song isn't take off so fast? I think the only thing that made this song (the original) really good was the beat. I predict another minor hit for him but the original had the potential to be big.

Lil' Jon is definitely in trouble when it comes to production. His last couple of singles (Touch, I'm A King, Presidential) have either totally flopped, or have taken 8 years to climb up the charts.
What is even worse for him is that Scott Storch has perfected his crunk and b synth sound, and created a masterpiece for Chris Brown, which, on the flip side, is tearing up the charts. Lil' Jon is so fumed he has finally complained about Storch stealing his similar production, but he has only taken Jon's beat box and perfected the synth sound he constantly churns out.
Storch's direct competition with Lil' Jon at this time, obviously Boom, with its exact same meaning and sound, has struggled to climb the charts (even though it has been out as long as Run It). It's even been replaced with an altered beat in the video for probably direct-comparison-to-Storch circumstances.
Jon should stop complaining because his beat box just inconsistently terrible and tiny compared to Storch's amazing knowledge of not only synths, but violins, spanish and electric guitar, and piano in all of his hip-hop productions. Jon can't face that his style is just completely wary of the game.

What is this song doing on radio? That's the preeminent question because I have not heard it anywhere or seen it on any chart. I don't know why they would release this instead of Directions or Like Me Real Hard. Those songs would work better on Urban radio. I don't know why they are chasing the elusive 2nd crossover hit which probably won't come taken the material that is on Mario's CD.
