In the world of commercial hip-hop and R&B, the artists who sell the most records are typically those who find a successful formula for their music and stick to it. In March of ’05, Ciara saw her Ludacris-assisted single, Oh, rise to platinum certification. Three and a half years later, it should come as no surprise to her fans that High Price, the potential lead single off her third album, Fantasy Ride, sounds suspiciously like it. Ludacris once again shows up for a brief guest verse, while producer Tricky Stewart (best known for his work on Rihanna’s Umbrella) lays down a Crunk&B beat remarkably similar to Oh’s. To Ciara’s credit, her delivery takes on a unique, opera-like approach that will likely piss off her hardcore fans. Consider it a lesson learned, Ciara: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

the opera singing is a NO. but it does prove she can sing though i didnt she had a voice to hit that note. luda's delivery give and verse makes this a 3 star.

This sounds like something I would hear in a ghetto haunted house on Halloween. Hmm-I am completely torn on this one. Just the way Ciara is singing on here is really creepy. I will probably skip to the 2:30 mark in the song
every time I play this just to hear what I think is LUDAS HOTTEST VERSE HE HAS EVER DROPPED. Im so confused on what to rate this, Ciara gets a 1 but Luda gets a 5. I guess if Math class taught me anything, that equals a 3. |

the singing killed it. she should've just sang in her regular voice...it would've been so much better. i'm not feelin' some of the lyrics either. she can do better. ludacris is good as usual.

I admire the creativity, but it really just makes me want to go listen to Oh again. And this is a good Luda verse, but definitely not his best ever. Are we forgetting his sick flow on I'm So Hood already?

I like the beat, reminds me of Oh...I'm feeling Ludacris' part, but I don't like Ciara's vocals! She sounds too weird. It's an OK song, I don't think I'll listen to it again! Expected better from her

This is some really weird stuff, but it's mad original, so I'm torn on it as well. LOL. Freaky. I kinda like it, but at the same time it's really weird. LOL. I don't even know what to say. Luda utterly smashed this track just as hot as "OH"! He gave us like 24 bars! BEASTIN. That's it! I've decided. This gets 4 stars. I hope they come up with something extremely clever for the video!

Ciara sounded annoying as hell on here. The beat is hot. But all I wanted to here was Luda. And he killed this. He made it okay.
