My guess is that people are going to be disappointed by the relatively safe approach Timberlake took with his comeback single. I agree. We wanted a grand slam. We got a one-run double. Beyond happy to say that I should have given all involved parties more credit than that. The decision to discard that style and avoid making some sort of Diplo-clone thunder house twerk concerto I just made a lot of those genres up should be applauded. Ain't nothing wrong with taking the soulful approach.
Now, don't get me wrong, the song isn't a masterpiece. It's fine. Just "fine. Instead of whining about what we got, we should admit that our real complaint is "After all the anticipation this comeback had, I expected the best song ever made. Though I'm not really sure what "best song ever" sounds like, I'm mad I didn't get it. I know, I know. It's a pop song. I shouldn't expect "Sixty-Six Sixes" or some other lyrical exercise where Hov reminds us he might be the best to ever do it.
Still, this is a lazy appearance. After being literally told to get out of his seat by Timberlake, Jay-Z drops off a middling bunch of verses that sound like he wrote them while waiting for Blue Ivy's bottle to warm up. He even does that "sprinkle a little showmanship wordplay so you don't think he's getting soft" move!
We all know that move by now, Jigga! The only thing positive about his verse is that his consistent efforts to up the sartorial game of American males every few years or so soldiers on. For that I give him props, but that's where it stops.

Similar territory, I shouldn't wonder. Beryl from Northallerton said:. Last edited: Apr 15, JungKim, it is a song lyric! You are not going to learn much useful from analysing this JungKim, forget this lyric. It's illiterate and it will not help you to learn English. Good English would be either " I put [past tense] on my suit and tie" or "I am in [i. I'm not trying to "learn" English from this lyric. What I'm trying to do is figure out why JT intentionally used "on" instead of "in". And no, it's not about "being well-behaved".
It's "I be on my suit and tie shit". That sounds Black American to me, in my complete ignorance of this sort of thing. You should wait from some answers from the U.
