Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning actress, American Idol finalist and the third Black woman ever to appear on the cover of Vogue magazine, Jennifer Hudson, born and raised in Chicago, has that rare combination of true talent, beauty and grace that makes her new single Special stand out in this world of studio divas.  This song is just like its subject matter:  strong, restrained, topical and uplifting.  With a cameo by Papoose, Special is a melodic refutation of Don Imus’s radio slur.  It’s an affirmation of our uniqueness and heals the way other songs inflame.

The topic of this is dope, but this is very disappointing. I clicked on this expecting a banger. Jenny and Papoose are good at what they do, but this simply didn't cut it for me. But as for Fresh21's comment, are you smoking? What's poppy about this. And quit complaining about hip hop sounding poppy. That's the dumbest word and accusation ever. Pop music means whatever is popular. If it happens to be hip hop on the top of the charts, so be it.
