Diamond - Superbad ft. Cee-Lo
Artist: Diamond
Featuring: Cee-Lo Green
Producer: Cee-Lo & Skot-Free
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: Diamond N Company
Having split from former group Crime Mob, Diamond is ready to set out on her own and show mainstream audiences just how far a femcee from ATL can get in this industry! Despite maintaining close links with G’$ Up boss Lil’ Scrappy, Diamond opted not to follow him to Disturbing tha Peace/Def Jam, instead choosing to stick with Warner Bros. for her forthcoming debut album. Her first Booth feature, Superbad, might sound a bit familiar to avid readers; Nappy Boy/Atlantic girl group Sophia Fresh‘s take on the track hit our front page nearly a year ago. Diamond smooths the more chaotic original‘s rough edges, adopting a crowd-pleasing sing-song flow. Though T-Pain‘s adlibs are cut, Cee-Lo Green‘s funky-as-ever backing vocals (featuring memorable lines like “they want some of my McLovin”) is retained, as is his and Skot-Free‘s sparse production. If you enjoy this record’s potent blend of old and new-school ATL appeal. grab a copy of Diamond’s currently-untitled solo debut when it hits stores this August, and be sure to keep it locked to the Booth throughout summer ‘09—Diamond may spit some bars for our exclusive freestyle series!

This is just a wierd track. I like the quiriness, and I'm not hatin, I'm just not really feelin it. Maybe it'll grow on me. The production is aight and I like Cee-Lo's crazy vocals. Diamond kinda bored me on this one. Nuttin special.

The production on this has a lot of energy..this will definitely be a hit in the club. I like Cee-Lo vocals on this as well. Not much lyrics on this one but it sounds fresh!

I prefer the Sophia Fresh's version with "Mr. Top Hat" aka T-Pain ad-libs on it to be honest... OK

I was not feeling it at all. Pretty much what Juanito_88 said. It was just weird and not my style.

The production was straight fire like ultimate hip hop said, but it wasn't a kind of track for a female singer OR Cee-Lo.
Strong resemblance to Ciara's "Goodies" with energy and subject matter, but this can get still get 3 stars. |

Unoriginal and its a shame to see Cee-Lo on this kinda song with this kinda artist. Wack. Also what the hell is wrong with those wannabe producers?! Where are the MELODIES??? What this right here?? That's just some sounds, effects thrown together just for the sake of it.

I gave the Sophia Fresh version a "3" last year; I am going to stick with the "3" here. Diamond is a rapper, not a singer, and she doesn't really rap - right? I am excited to hear what she has to offer on a solo tip...
PS. Cee-Lo is so damn smooth! |

Heh, "I'm Superbad, they want some of my McLovin'" is pretty much the coolest thing in this song, other than that this song is pretty weak! Diamond and Cee-Lo DOES NOT have good chemistry together which is one reason this song shouldn't have been made!
I feel that Diamond and Cee-Lo have WAY BETTER THAN potential than this such as Diamond's "B**** I'm A Star" and Cee-Lo's/Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy". But the production, unoriginality and weak lyrics kills it for this! Sorry I would love to rate this higher cause I like both artists' about the same but this get's a 1.5 from me. Sorry Diamond... But Nicki Minaj is eatn' you right now! |

What did Diamond do in this song? =_=
The lyrics is like they had a limit of characters to use... -.-' the delivery is just corny (except Cee-Lo, of course). Production made snap sound sophisticated. |

Does not really do it for me. thought the beat was pretty cool but would sound better with a top male rapper on it. agree with the above i was just think of the ying yang twins the whole way through and im not a fan of the whisper song really!

I see the girls in my generation singing along to this. I'm the Ish empowerment songs seems to impress them a lot. I'm not going to lie..the chorus is quite catchy. The production seems a little weak to me. Hopefully this is not the final cut. Diamond could have came a little more correct on this song. I feel like i didn't even hear her flow...lyrically it could have been much better. After awhile it does seem to agitate me....def not going on the pod.

this song will be ridiculous if exposed to the clubs. in the south in the hip hop club scene, girls will get out their chairs to dance to this, radio wise it won't do much, but this will go hard in the clubs.

Of course I don't think this song has a good quality, but I agree with Charm Parker, it will go HARD in the clubs! I personally would gladly dance to this, it has a great beat! Clubs songs MUST be even silly but catchy and energetic, like this. In rotatiion

umm..no!!!! I just didn't feel it, not a single verse stood out to me and the production was all over the place. And this topic is sooo overdone.

Liked her on Rock your Hips but on this, she's just OK. Not as good as Trina etc... from what I hear yet. The hook is pretty sweet though.
