Kenna - Say Goodbye to Love (Remix) ft. Lupe Fiasco
Artist: Kenna
Featuring: Lupe Fiasco
Producer: Neptunes
Album: Make Sure They See My Face
Label: Star Trak/Interscope
Ethiopian-born pop artist Kenna was finally ready to break out of his “hip-to-be-underground” reputation with the release of his critically-acclaimed debut, New Sacred Cow, in 2003. However, after piss-poor record sales and label trouble, the underground is where Kenna remained, shackled by a sound so uncategorizable that Columbia Records had no clue how to market it. Now a part of Interscope, Kenna has managed to capture a cohesive pop-rap crossover style that still retains his former uniqueness on his sophomore album, Make Sure They See My Face. The remix of its lead single, Say Goodbye to Love, is an up-tempo Neptunes-produced dance joint featuring a short verse by Lupe Fiasco that sounds right at home. While he’s saying goodbye to love, Kenna might as well do the same to the underground, as it’s clear that he has finally emerged.
Note: The streaming of “Say Goodbye to Love (Remix)” has temporarily been suspended.
This song first appeared on the

I actually like this track produced by the Neptunes. I heard this track earlier this week. Lupe did his thing (of course, as always). I don't really like Kenna's vocal style, but the song and melody is real tyte. It's definitely something different and kind of sounds like an 80s type track. I'll throw it in rotation, despite not really digging Kenna's style on this one. It's different and eclectic. I don't except the closed minded, fake gangsta type cats who's favorite rapper is Lil Wayne to even understand or like this track at all, cuz in their words, "this nerd rap ain't even cool, shawty...ya dig". Yeah, you know who you are. LOL

This song is soo crazy man. I heard this yesterday and have listenin to it nonstop since. This is different, which is why its not surprising the Neptunes produced it. This song is a 5 star song period. Lyrics are cracy (Its lupe, what do you expect) and everything is just as good. I wont call this a classic cuz that is overrating it, but this song is gettin used soo much in my rotation that everybody will hate it. Bangin for sure.

This Beat is Sick man! Funky Shit! Lupe Kills it. I wish he would have raped all the way through. Kenna style does fit the beat, but I don't like it If that makes any sence. With that being said 3.5 stars!

EVERYONE PICK UP KENNA'S ALBUM NOW. This dude's creative vision is like no one else's in the music industry, and combined with The Neptunes's production, it's clearly a match made in heaven. Lupe Fiasco is a nice treat to this remix and he did a good job on the futuristic melody. Just a heads up for the DJBooth Staff, Kenna's record label is Star Trak, not Star Trek.

Some songs make you vibe in a "throw the head around after you tipped back the bottle" sorta-way. This one has a legit VIBE that cannot be denied. I don't know about this being a CLASSIC, after all its a remix (which is like a sequel getting 4 stars-- just doesn't happen), but its ultra-solid.

Love it. I love Lupe, so that already gave the song an advantage but Kenna is defintely fresh. I was just complaining about not having anything to listen to. I have trouble appreciating the radio because everything on it sounds the same. Hip Hop is meant to be diverse and here we have it.

I'm DEF feeling this track, Neptunes kills the production. I can put this in and just rock to it. Feeling the bridge, sounds almost like something Jamiroquai would put out
