Kardinal Offishall - Numba 1 (Tide is High) ft. Keri Hilson
Artist: Kardinal Offishall
Featuring: Keri Hilson
Producer: Supa Dups
Album: Not 4 Sale
Label: Black Stone Colleagues/GFMGG
First performed by John Holt’s group, The Paragons in 1967, The Tide Is High is one of the better known songs of the last three decades (thanks, in part, to covers by Blondie and Atomic Kitten). Next in line to adapt the record is Toronto’s own Kardinal Offishall, who’s got a girl on the side he’s trying to shake off. Guest singer Keri Hilson (who replaces Rihanna for the single version), however, isn’t the kind of girl who just “gets down like that;” no matter how strong Kardi waves goodbye, she won’t let go until she’s Numba 1. Since Supa Dups’ production is even more club-ready than that of the smash-hit Dangerous, expect a strong crossover following and massive spins. Numba 1 (Tide is High) is the third official single from Kardinal Offishall’s Not 4 Sale, which is for sale right now.

I'm loving the production off top! The drum kit is nuts! Keri on the hook sounds amazing! I like this way better than Kardinal's last single, and I'm glad he went with Keri instead of Rihanna. I feel Keri is stronger vocally. I will say the production and Keri outshine Kardinal on the track, but he still brings it with good presence, delivery and style. I haven't heard the old, old original. Maybe I'll check it out. I like this though. This is a definite banger going straight to the IPOD!

First, let me remind my friend E-Dub that nothing in the Booth is ever "old." Kardinal's album JUST dropped, which means nothing on it could even be slightly considered "old", and this is not the album version... its the exclusive single version. :-) Record will work GREAT at the club. Good call with the labelmate Hilson doing the hook.

E-dub, every good song i see you give like a 4 or 5 you say the artist is one of the hottest in the game right now... chill out with it, no hes not.. but he does have some hits, like this song, its good, but i dont think it will hit big, the beat doesnt do it for me, and the "hey" in the hook haha.

looks like Kardinal will be around for a while, he's album has lots of single potential like this one and the one with T-Pain and The-Dream one too! Y did they replace Rihanna?? either way this track is great, Keri kills it! She's so sexy :)

When I saw Kardinal and Keri I thought this would be a hit but I was wrong, it disappointed me! First of all I'm tired of hearing covers of this song, I already had enough of it in the times of Atomic Kittens, an English girl band, so I can't stand this anymore! Keri sounds decent but not as good as usual, Kardinal Offishall was ok in Set It Off but here he's mediocre...the production is ok, will go in the clubs! To sum up, a club song which won't go to my mp3 player

This is one of my favorite songs from the album and its a great choice for the second single. Its too bad that Rihanna couldn't be part of it, but Keri Hilson is a better singer anyway. Its great party/club banger that takes you to the islands. You could party all night to this song on a beach or something.

its Ok, this sample is over used...Kardinall sounds like a bootleg Sean Kingston but his stuff is up an coming....Keri Hilson....well since Energy she's been makin strides. I'll give it a four because of Keri's presence but its more or less a three
