Don’t two individuals have to lock eyes in order for it to qualify as “love at first sight?” I thought so, but evidently I was mistaken; on new single I Go Crazy, PaYOW! emcee Huey describes a shorty with such smooth dance moves that, after one glimpse, he was ready to start shopping for a ring. Booty-shaking, however hypnotizing, may not seem like the best basis for a lasting relationship, but the record is so catchy that it’s hard to care. Trillion Billion Dollar Beats (who, if he really got paid one sextillion dollars for his work here, would be far and away the richest man on the planet) turns in a star performance behind the boards, backing Huey’s lovestruck bars with a glossy blend of keyboard and electric guitar riffs, and Colby O’Donis puts the cherry on top of the rap/R&B sundae with a characteristically silky-smooth chorus. If this radio/club-ready track leaves you head over heels, keep it locked to the Booth for all the latest on Huey’s forthcoming In Reel Life… LP, which has yet to receive a release date from the label execs.

This song first appeared on the Rap Chart on November 23, 2009

Oh shit? Huey's still around? News to me. I'm feeling the production on this one as well as Colby's hook. Huey's verses are a step up lyrically from his freshman album but he's lacking the energy to make his verses blend with the music. It sounds as if the song came pre-designed with Colby and then Huey just walked in the studio and put bars over a finished track. Still, it's a 3.75. I'll give it a 4.

i heard this song a week ago or so, i thought it was alright. But i kept playing it to see if i would like it, and i really do now. The review hit it perfectly, very catchy. I like the upbeat feel to it, as always. When it sounds like this i could give a sh1t about lyrics. Banger

This song was exactly what I expected when I saw this. Good production, catchy chorus, and mediocre rapping. Huey actually sounded better here though than I've heard him in the past. I'm diggin it.

when i heard this a couple weeks ago, i was TEMPTED to like it but its just, i think Colby brought it down a WHOLE STAR. Huey holds his ground. The beat is somethin that he shockingly fitted on nicely. colby's hook was BLEH.

I spoke with Huey yesterday and I mentioned to him that I thought this new single was pretty damn catchy. If you are a radio programmer, I am not sure how you don't listen to this and find a place for it on your playlist.

Yes, it lacks originality. But in a cookie cutter industry, the only way to make bread is by following suit.

I am feeling generous...

At first I wanted to give the track rotation, but after listening closer I feel like it is missing something. The beat is OK, but neither dancy nor head-bobby enough to keep me very interested. The melody on the hook is catchy, but Colby's vocals lack any energy or spark. Huey comes decent on the verses, but this song isn't even really set up for it to be about him.

In the words of Phantom, "Oh shit!? Huey's still around." This is damn catchy and enjoyable, but you'd think Huey would have learned his lesson from the last time around (pop lock and drop it). Catchy will only get you so far.

Colby O'Donis ruins the song. He doesn't have enough soul, and his vocals are too quiet compared to the production. Huey really impressed me though.

Turned out to be better than what I was expecting. A pounding bassline, punchy snare and ripping guitar riffs make for a noteworthy beat, pretty sure anyone could sound good over a instrumental like this, but Huey and Colby do their fair share to contribute and holds it down pretty while.

It will receive its fair share of radio-spins but don't expect it to blow up, otherwise you too will be asking the same question like @dillon_68 is asking now... :p

I'd just like to say, again, that I don't like cookie cutters nor do I find them very useful when you know what you're doing.

That is all.
