Jamie Foxx - Speak French
Artist: Jamie Foxx
Featuring: Gucci Mane
Producer: Bangladesh
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: RCA
I know I’m gonna have to address this sooner or later, so we might as well get it over with. Here’s the deal: if you wants us to stop posting tracks from Gucci Mane, tell your favorite artists to stop putting him on their tracks. After all, when one of the most famous actors/rappers alive, Jamie Foxx, includes Gucci on his new single Speak French, we have to post it. Gucci overload aside, Speak French features production by Bangladesh, whose production work is so minor it’s barely there, more than a couple complete tempo changes, some decent vocal work from Foxx, absolutely no actual French and, yes, a verse from Gucci, who does spit a pretty hilarious line involving a camera and his penis. But seriously, how does a track called Speak French include literally no French? Regardless, Speak French is off of Foxx’s upcoming, untitled album, due out in the beginning of 2010. Let’s hope the album’s better – much better – than this.

I can't say I am a fan of this at all. The production was boring and the song doesn't go anywhere at all. Jamie's vocals were average and Gucci did not add to the track at all. This was a disappointment. I hope Jamie comes harder than this.

Umm i'm kinda spechless on what i just heard. Jamie has such a great voice but seems like he's despreate for radio hits to the point where he'll get a horrible beat from Bangladesh and a pointless rap from Gucci just to have his own "Break Up".

The main problem with this track is the production, not Gucci. Bangladesh is one of (if not the most) overrated producers in hip hop.

For the record, the one star rating has almost nothing to do with Gucci, he actually drops a decent verse. No, this was one of the worst songs I've heard for a while because the production's a disorganized mess, Foxx doesn't really do anything and the theme of the song's completely ignored. I'd be shocked if this makes it onto the album. Shocked I tell you.

I couldn't even describe the feeling i got when i noticed Jamie had a song with Gucci... my heart broke... I love Jamie, he's an incredible talent but this song is bad, the beat is bad, bangladesh is trash, and gucci is awful... and he makes everyone around him worse... this is not ok to me

Mark my words, this will be a huge hit, a la "Break Up". I personally am getting just an average vibe from it though, nothing special. The chorus is a little too dirty for my liking, but hey, that's what sells now.

Where's Tony Parkour?
I expected a Tech N9ne/Krizz Kaliko sounding beat from the snippet from :03-:14. The production was audacious and just ABSURD! The production alone deserves four stars. I had to listen to the whole song to see where that shit was going (caught a glimpse of the license plate). 4.5 Stars: *4 Stars 4 the production *.5 4 Jamie's vocals *-.5 for Gucci Mane Very Catchy! |

2nd Listen: LMAO -.5 retracted. Gucci Mane did indeed, come with a hilarious verse, which you (Nathan) mentioned with the added, "Gucci the idiot". I now have mad respect for Gucci.
5 Stars! |

What in the "off-key" is this??? This song is like all over the place and I'm not sure if I like Jamie's flow on here. Gucci Mane is my new boy! He actually did decent on here. It's OK.

WoW!!! Whats up the 1star ratings. This song is not that bad. I already can't stand to hear Gucci. He should go on a three yr vacation. I really liked Jamie's parts, he is so creative and cool. Subject matter alone will get this song requests. I'm putting in rotation.
My rating is not working, it won't go beyond one star. What's up wit dat??? I suppose all the previous 1stars. LOL. (Officially a 3 for me) |

This is worse than anything Soulja Boy has ever put out, other than Birdwalk. This is a horrible beat, Jamie Foxx sounds terrible, I actually cracked up while i was listening to this song. This IS Jamie Foxx's worst song, possibly for me one of the worst songs ever created.

Bangladesh is such a travesty of a producer. What's sad is that people gave him free pass to bring whatever musical nonsense he wants to the table. |

I gotta show-off a bit now. I speak french. Not as good as english tho. And I was dissapointed big time when I read the song title and heard nothing in french. I thought it was some sort of concept record. Rien! Bangladesh is pretty much trash anyway. I don't care about those 2-3 hot joints he had in the early years of 2000. This is clearly not the classy Jamie Foxx I wanna hear. Wack!

Seriously this is becoming a problem. R&B is dying because of lazy, minimalistic records like this that seem to be just thrown together. Like who's idea was it to throw in THAT hook?!? its horrible, its annoying, its just.......re-up jamie foxx you can do MUCH MUCH better than this!!
