Most of DJBooth’s audience knows of the plight associated with Consequence‘s solo debut, Don’t Quit Your Day Job. Yet despite its disappearance from the Soundscan charts (and Cons money-back guarantee on his Myspace page), the Queens-native has released a fourth single from the project. Feel This Way, which features G.O.O.D. Music label mate John Legend, is the story of a man in disbelief over the actions of his suspicious girlfriend. Listeners might be shocked to hear Legend exhale a few vulgarities (and purists are hoping that doesn’t continue), but it just goes to show that out-of-the-ordinary situations can drive a man crazy. Maybe if Feel This Way was Day Job’s first single, instead of its fourth, Cons wouldn’t have spent the last year swearing up a storm.
It's good, except it really should be ' John Legend ft. Consequence' as 60-70% of the track was sung by legend. This has an r&b feel which john doesn't usually associate himself with. I always though he'd sound good on this kind of track (ie. mainstream r&b??).
Yay, I cannot wait for John Legend's next album... Consequence... he's good too. I wonder if anyone bought Consequence's album. I mean if he gets a fourth single, he must have sold a significant amount. UNLESS, John Legend is releasing something soon so they are hyping that up. YAY.
This song is so plain and basic. It doesn't seem worthy of airplay to me but for some reason I feel somebody's radio station is going to put it in rotation. I would even put this song before track 8 on an CD but I guess thats just me. I'd rather not hear this song again
This has a nice Kanye-West type of flow to it and the beat is done very very well. Really crisp production! John Legend is 2 for 2 this week for me. He is damn good! Great track right here. A lot of work went into it and it pays off here.
Woulda liked Consequence to sing a little more. I like this guys flow and this beat is so mellow. I didn't think John Legend outshined Consequence though.
Great collaboration, should have rolled out with this one much earlier. But hey, at least they released it. As they say, sometimes the best laid plans are never.
I like both artists, especially John Legend, but this song is very average. Consequence is coming across as a second rate Kanye West and John Legends chorus is annoying. IM sure they will both have better tracks in the future
The Kanye-like flow works very well here and Consequence can pull it off. His lyrics are usually good so there’s no surprise this one is. John Legend on the other hand is a guarantee that your song has quality… he’s just great, what a talent to come up with beautiful simple melodies! Deserves 4*
Yo, I had to rate again. Video is mad dope. Song is super crispy. If this had of been the first single from Cons, he would've got SO MUCH MORE BUZZ! John Legend can spit a little too...dope! I hope this gets lots of radio play and puts more people on Consequence, so maybe if he drops a new album soon, he'll get a larger fan base. Oh, and for people who keep saying that Consequence sounds like or is trying to be like Kanye....get up your history please! Consequence has been around way longer than Kanye. He basically was an unofficial member of "A Tribe Called Quest". Q-Tip is his cousin. He is most notable for appearing frequently on A Tribe Called Quest's Beats, Rhymes and Life, and just now recently re-emerged on a series of tracks with Kanye West, as well as featuring on the song "Spaceship" off West's The College Dropout. "Stressed Out" was a chart topping hit back in '96. Please look it up. NEW CONS ALBUM in 2008 "YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME"
Consequence has proven that even though he's been out of the limelight for a while, his talent can never be second-guessed. He's been around WAYYY longer than Kanye, so homage must be paid where it's due...Big up to J. Legend on the track; the man makes magic!
