50 Cent - New Day
Artist: 50 Cent
Featuring: Dr. Dre , Alicia Keys
Producer: Dr. Dre
Album: Street King Immortal
Label: Shady/Aftermath/Interscope
I will admit that while 50 Cent taking on Alicia Keys’ uber-uplifting New Day was a bit of a shock to the system, the end result is a quite noteworthy single. On top of a feature verse from Dr. Dre, New Day is said to have also been produced by The Doctor and mixed by fellow Shady boss Eminem (Alicia Keys’ original version of New Day was wrongfully credited to hubby Swizz Beatz). Serving as a possible sneak peak (fingers crossed) of what’s to come on the icon’s long awaited Detox album, Dre’s verse on New Day is strikingly solid. On his past releases, Fif has remained relatively hit or miss lyrically, but with New Day he takes on both his verses with the vigor of an emcee that has got something to prove. Lookout for New Day on 50’s forthcoming Street King Immortal, his final album at Interscope, due out this fall.

It concerns me that a) this single appears to be borrowed and not originally intended for 50 (I could be wrong) and that b) 50 is the weakest part of the record. Keys' chorus and Dre's opening 16 are top tier stuff.

I'm sorry, but everyone here is past their prime - "it's over, let go".
2 Stars for Alicia (just because). |

Wtf, I thought this was originally Alicia's song, and yes, 50's part was the weakest on this song. He is capable of more...

@*#$! the haters 50 cent is back. This is an absolute BANGER. Dre's 16 was pure fire and even though 50 wasn't quite at his best this song will be a hit.

Call me a hater, but I don't really feel the chorus, its a bit annoying, the drums are annoying and 50's verses are average at best.

Agree with Dj Gemi9i.
Without the chorus it might have been 4/5. |

A real return to form and i can see this being a huge radio hit maybe coming near "Empire State of Mind" levels of airplay around the world. Love the drums, love the tune, love the rap. It is currently on repeat on my ipod!

I love it how 50 went from having popular artists make him a star, to him flowing on albums basically by himself (the massacre), to now having artists outshine him 100% on his own singles. Sorry 50, you're done....

Decent song by 50, what happened to that guy? The big names on this track scream epic, though I'm not really feeling the hook. 50 was okay, but Dr Dre came out and laid down a hot verse! This one might be a grower

Am I the only one that IS NOT feeling KEYS! was this all she could do for the hook? Serious! as far as 50 and Dre.... EH! 50 first verse lost my attention but then KEYS made me loose interest faster. Keys is the weak link here. Not impressed and Dre could have improved this beat. it boggles my mind how on 50's lost tape he has so many well written verses and the time to shine with some top names he flops!

I think Keys' style is relatively simple in fact that most of her singles sound the same just the production changing the sound uniquely little by little.
Fiddy's input was kind of impressive and fitted the drum kicks well and matched Alicia's vocal presence. Dre's feature was a little unimpressive to me and sounded very like 50. Overall the track was mediocre but I wouldn't cry if I heard it again it was on point to an extent. |

It's aight. 50 got that problem against Game like Nas against Jay. 50/Nas ain't got that ear for beats their former enemies have.

Even though Fifty sounds kind of uninspired and dull on this one, Alicia and Dre did their thing. One of the better Dre beats too.

There is too much going on in this track! 50 cent sounds out of place, Alicia Key's contributions seem like it was originally her song, and it the track sounds like Swizz Beats produced this
