Taking a page from his adopted son‘s book (if you don’t know who he is, you probably just crash-landed here from another planet), Cash Money Don Birdman goes the crossover route on this new single off his upcoming senior album, Priceless.  Like Weezy did with his guest verse on Kevin Rudolf‘s Let It Rock, Baby takes the opportunity to kick-start a brand new Cash Money signee’s career; unlike Wayne, however, Baby isn’t entertaining any rockstar fantasies.  Rather, Written On Her hopes to replicate the success of Flo Rida‘s recent club-hop hits.  Though Birdman’s distinctive style is intact, Jay Sean (who got positive reviews in the Booth for his ‘08 single Just A Friend) truly shines over Oddz.N.Endz’ pulse-pounding instrumental.  In addition to being Birdman’s best shot at the Billboard Top 10, this record is living proof of Birdman’s plans to take Cash Money beyond hip-hop; now, he’s looking to take over the world!  Priceless has yet to receive a release date, but watch for it to arrive sometime this summer.

This song first appeared on the Rap Chart on May 4, 2009

It's got a catchy hook, echoing club-ready beat that bangs BUT Birdman's verses contributed a little to this bangin beat & hook .... but it will def find a home at radio ...

This has a great club feel. Jay Sean is dope on here and Birdman adds that thug feel to this friendly track. The production is solid on here and the hook is catchy. Almost 4 stars not quite but still good track!

I was surprised by this. It was actually pretty good. The production and the hook were both tight. Birdman didn't have any exceptional lyrics but when you are going for a club hit, that's not the point. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I don't think he could touch Flo Rida's club hits. Rotation.

Glad to see Birdman branching off from using Wayne (or Mannie Fresh from back in the day) to make a hit record. This one has huge potential in the clubs, where Birdman doesn't have a big presence. Loved the hook too, in strong rotation.

Man, if there was ever a sellout track this is it. Sorry, but this is not birdman (as much as I hate his flow in the first place.) The vibe is wrong for him, and I bet many of the former/current Cash Money artists are either shakin their heads or turnin the other way.

Having said that, the track is aight. The hook is catchy and doesnt sound too bad. The production isn't the best, but it is club-ready. Birdman has another below average flow on this, although it sounds a lil different than normal. It's not too bad, it just isnt Birdman and it isnt for me.

@ Juanito- Dude. Just about to say the exact same thing. This track makes my expression look like I just ate ***t cake. Keep it thuggish, Birdman. If you have a persona, and you sell records, it means that the people buying your records like that persona. Even 50 knows that. Way too much wanted to write down on this, but I'll refrain.

Ive only ever liked two songs from Birdman & this isnt one of them (What Happened To That Boy & Pop Bottles).

The production & the hook were good, though Birdman didn't keep me interested

My man Juanito_88 is partially correct. Birdman is NOT a 'sellout', but he did make a record with 100% crossover appeal in mind. Urban radio always scoops up his stuff, but now Rhytmic will be able to ride the train too. Not on my personal rotation, but this has definite appeal.

Sidenote: Jay can sing (this doesn't come close to showing off his true skills).

Jay Sean is from the UK (thought i'd tell you that). I'd never of thought this would happen for J.S but it did. This is really catchy. Classic.

(Trust me I'm not the biased type of person)

like a lot of other people said, Birdman doesnt sound good on this type of track at all. I like the beat and Jay Sean's chorus. He saves the song for me. 2.5 for the beat and the hook

Realize why he made this song, but of all people birdmans voice and flow is not particularly the type to be on a song like this. He should have autotuned his verses like he did on foolish remix, would have went along with the dance vibe, otherwise we expect birdmans voice to be on some gangster beats and only that.

The production is great but I find the hook a lil silly. Good to hear from Jay Sean again! I think Birdman had a good verse...banger!

Whoah...call me stupid, but Weezy is Birdman's son??? When did that happen? Hmm...

I don't know why everyone is hatin' on this song. The production is very fresh, somethin nice and easy to listen to. The hook is awesome in my opinion. And I think both Birdman and Jay Sean did better than average on this. Definitely a Banger.

P.S. He's really Birdman's son? How did I not know about this???? I feel so left out... :(

@ bowwser - Birdman is not Weezy's father, they say that because Birdman has mentored Wayne since he was 12. They did a collaboration album called 'Like Father, Like Son' a couple years back

@croatia - I've mentioned this before to people on the Booth. Evidently it needs to be repeated...

If humanly possible, it'd be nice if the word "faggot" wasn't thrown around. You have no idea if you're offending anyone who may read your comment, as I did (and yes, I was offended). Just because you may think a song sucks, does NOT make the artist gay. And it certainly doesn't condone the word faggot.

All I ask for is some common courtesy. Not too much to ask for.

@everyone, I heard that birdman has not only mentored, but I heard he adopted lil wayne around age 12 and lil wayne lived with him forever. Wasn't only a mentor, literally was his "father" and still is.

Just in case anyone was wondering where the beat came from, its a sample from Morgan Page's "The Longest Road" (Deadmau5 remix). Not sure that anyone cares but figured I'd throw that out there. Not a banger for ratings sake, but will most definitely bang in the club.

I love the pulsing beat, and Jay Sean's hook. I agree; this track needs a better rapper. I loved the remix though. Flo Rida was a perfect fit and Mack dropped some dope lines with a dope flow.
