Just when many were beginning to think that Huey‘s Strictly Business strategy would end in failure, the emcee ran into a stroke of good luck: with his HiTz Committee boss, MempHiTz, hosting BET’s Rap City replacement, The Deal, his 24-7/365 music video got heavy rotation on the network, even inspiring a straight-to-DVD film (due out March 31st). For now, the St. Louis native’s plan is to continue catering to his core audience: females. On this newly-released cut, he reveals why he’s so popular with the ladies: he’s got that PaYOW! that makes sweet lovemaking even sweeter for his partner. Employing a rapped/sung flow, Huey sounds a little like Weezy with Lyfe Jennings’ vocal chords, but Bobby V‘s hook and Deezle‘s beat smooth PaYOW! into a perfect bedroom jam. Has Huey struck gold once again? To find out, go to your favorite CD store or online retailer July 14 and pick up a copy of Strictly Business.

I am so iffy about this song. I heard it last week and i can really see myself liking it, but right now. It still has to grow on me a little. but im really trying to like it. I just wish Huey wasn't auto-tuning it.

I dont know about the production on this one. It sounds really poorly made and really generic like they made it in 15 mins. Hook is decent but I've heard better from Valentino and that PaYOW! gets annoying to me after a while. Lyrics are decent nothing special about this

The beat is pretty cool right here. I didn't think I would like to hear anyone else on an auto-tune besides Kanye, Wayne, and T-Pain (I hope I don't have to add P. Diddy to that list...) but Huey does his thing on here. It sounds good! Bobby's voice sounds good too! 3.5 but I'll give it a 4...its a semi-banger for me!

It's an alright song. As M Burmy says this is a message for the ladies so maybe that's why its not grabbing me. Nothing new on the table. Production is good, hook, not sure how I feel about the PaYOW stuff, huey's verses ain't bad, nothing special to me.

This song got a great beat but lacks good lyrics though. Huey could have done a lot better but Bobby Valentino did his thing as usual.

This concept (PaYOW) is really corny, but I gotta admit that I aint neva heard nothin like this before and the hook is kinda catchy. I hate auto-tune, but Huey don't sound too bad using it. (Just dont stick wit it too long, Huey) I could listen to this again.

I didn’t get to the verse yet and the song couldn’t get less than 3* already! Production is fire inducing!
Like Blaze said, I’m always skeptic about the use of autotune, but this tool is actually more suitable to Huey than any of the abovementioned because it brightens him completely, while the others just don’t need it. Huey owned it! Bobby is great for the chorus. |

By far the catchiest record from Huey since "Pop, Lock, and Drop It." I hope this catches on; Huey has more substance and depth than people give him credit for. If he is given a real second chance on the sophomore album, he could really make a name for himself outside of one-hit wonder.

I liked the version with Wayne in it & still like the original without him. Huey is a better rapper then some give credit for. I've listened to his first album & he is to good of a rapper to be pinned down by the 1 hit wonder category.
3.5 - I dont really like the hook, though other then that its pretty solid |

I hate this PaYOW, damn it's so annoying I don't wanna hear this word anymore lol! The production is really good, smooth and sexy, but I don't really like the melody, above all in the hook, which is extremely boring. By Huey I like 27-7-365, this is boring

Agree with Z, this is his catchiest song since Pop Lock (although that's probably not saying much). The chorus got a little weird, especially after I overthought what the meaning of PaYOW is? Huey definitely took the "come up with a catchy word/phrase and make it a hot song" approach. I wouldn't say it worked too much here.

Not that good of a song. The hook is pretty catchy, but the song doesn't go anywhere. It is boring to me. I can't believe Huey is now using the auto-tune. It is so over-used. In rotation barely.

Can i be real, ok lemme be real, i was readin the comments while listening to the song n i found the comments more interestin than the song... to be honest from the time i heard the autotuneness i frowned lol.... my favorite part of the song is 'hitz committee patna!' .. if i dont go put on pop lock n drop it rite now i dont think i'll ever listen to huey again lol.
