This is the latest that the “3 headed monster” gots to offer us. The song hopped from #78 on the Billboard Hot 100 all the way to #1 topping T.I’s Live your life for first week digital download sales.

“Deft wordplay by one of the foremost emcees of this decade, a funky piano loop from one of the greatest producers of all time, and a reunion hip-hop heads have been aching for — what’s not to love?”

“After Em spits his trademark controversy-heavy lyrics, Dr. Dre brings a laid-back (though more grown than usual) verse, leading up to 50 Cent‘s verse, which is as melodically gritty as you would expect – over Dre’s beat… words can’t explain how awesome this is”

“…in a formulaic song with a tired chorus and – yet again – an almost total lack of anything interesting to say to make up for the slick but mechanically, reflexively commercial chants of the chorus.”

What boiGeniusbeats.com Thinks:

From the minute you hear Em as a boxing announcer, you know the ignorant slim shady persona that everyone loves is back and in full effect. Although not Em’s best performance lyrically he did bring a pretty entertaining verse, even though he takes it a bit too far in my opinion with his cheezy ballsack line. The hook on this is really catchy, now I gotta admit at first I wasn’t feelin it but after a few listens I started singin along. As usual dre comes correct with the beat, his verse is pretty good too nothing mind-blowin but definitely has a good flow. 50 Cent brings along his singy-song style at first but then comes with some pretty decent lines and flow. Overall what carry’s this song is dre’s beat, the hook and the anticipation behind em and dre’s albums. I could do without these verses tho. Hopefully this is just a taste of what the 3 headed monster is bringin to the table and not
