Mario - Break Up ft. Gucci Mane & Sean Garrett
Artist: Mario
Featuring: Gucci Mane , Sean Garrett
Producer: Bangladesh
Album: D.N.A.
Label: 3rd Street/RCA
In his review of Mario‘s third album, Go!, our own Nathan S. was quick to note how much the singer had matured since releasing the Biz Markie-inspired Just a Friend ‘02. That evolution continues on his upcoming senior album, And Then There Was Me. After two buzz singles (and a leak which was later taken down), we finally have an official single. Though his woman is sick of his frequent infidelities, Mr. Barrett makes a strong argument as to why she shouldn’t Break Up with him: she’ll get the same problems with her next man, but none of the TLC he’s giving her. While Gucci Mane‘s guest verse (no, this is not some late April Fools’ joke) might seem unnecessary to some, Sean Garrett‘s writing and background vocals, together with Bangladesh‘s repetitive, percussion-heavy beat (similar to his work on A Milli and Diva) add up to what could be one of the most widely-spun singles of spring/summer ‘09! For more of Mario’s matured artistry, pick up a copy of And Then There Was Me
D.N.A. when it drops this summer.

At first it sounds solid but after that it doesnt impress me. The production is off and on and I dont really feel it. Mario is iight but I've heard it and Gucci doesnt upgrade the song. The farther the song goes the more boring it gets. Decent...

Gucci's verse didn't need to be there. He doesn't upgrade the song, but didn't bring it down either. I just didn't like the flow on here, overall. Mario can do better. His vocals were good, he just needs a solid flow. It was OK.

I saw Mario and immediately checked it out, hoping for a banging return
Sadly, something I won't listen to again |

the production is off the hook (it sounded really promising at the start) !!! i dont really see what gucci adds on 2 the song like gstan10 said above me but overall its OK but it would be better if the beat was consistent but i guess it 2 late for that

Well well well this is come classic radio single material... Unfortunately it gets a little too repetitive and boring for me.
And WTF was with Gucci's 4 bars at the end?? lol they couldnt have just added it to the first verse? Oh well, he's the millioniare, not me :) |

I have to first say that the Bangledesh production, while it may be a bit mellow, sounds very nice on this track. It brings that same subtle head-noddin vibe that he brought on A Millie and Bossy, and it sounded great to me.
Having said that, I dont think these are the artists to put over the track to make the best of it. I liked the track, I just think many others could have done it better (and its not cuz of Mario, cuz I like the cat.) Gucci Mane was just annoying on here. The hook was actually pretty catchy, the entire track just fell a lil short for me. Like Dillon-68 says, "a grower?" |

this song is not lookin so good on the booth so far, but i bet releasing an official remix quickly w/the right guest artists could not only save the song, but make it a hit for sure. Jus my opinion.

This is a classic HIT OR MISS song. In fact, there are even hit or miss items within the song. Either you love Gucci or hate him. Either you love Bangladesh beats or you hate them.
Both are imported for entertainment and radio-play factors. I think this will hit hard on the radio and can also be played early in sets at the club. Glad to hear Mario didn't compromise his vocals for a club jam. It's in rotation for me...

I've always liked Mario since Let Me Love You came out and went straight into my ears, I STILL listen to that song to this day, An all time classic IMO, but THIS, WTF? Mario has went downhill I guess.. The leaked song Love was GREATT, but there stupid for not putting it on the album in the first place.. This is garbage..

The song would be better without Gucci!
The singing approach was interesting, playin with the beat goin on & off, it creates a nice harmony and the beat is catchy: simple yet dynamic. The way he sings "why would you wanna breakup" brings the hook (that wasn't as inspired as the verses already) down for me. |

yeah Z this is a complete hit/miss, i love it but i can see why others don't...the bangladesh beat is all over the place, and mario rides it well, i think mario could of done SG's parts, and just had it ft. gucci (SG makes enough $ writin anyways!)...overall r&b banga

Seems like every since "A Millie" Bangladesh's beats get less complex everytime i hear one and all of them sound just like it except for 1 or 2 elements. Im not quite feeling this one but maybe after a few listens it will grow on me. Im always down for something different but this I am not sure about.

I rememeber Nathan reviewed MARIO'S - GO and he said how much mario had matured as an artist. And I wrote how much the quality of his music had improved. Just listen to songs like 'Lay In my Bed' & 'Why' and tell me you dont feel moved lol. Mario what happened!!!! I know you have to make radio songs and all, but this compared to thos afore mentioned songs (which werent singles to add) this is horrible, and why even feature gucci mane. Hes one of the worst rappers alive. Bangladesh step your producing game.

Production couldn't save this song. I am not feeling this at all. It just...annoys me, for some reason. The entire thing. I don't usually do this, but...one star for this one. Feel free to disagree with me, but I can't give it any higher.

I'm disappointed in this track, because ive heard so many leaked Mario songs that are so much better than this!! I dont like Gucci Mane, and Sean Garrett REAALLY annoys me! Bangladesh needs to stop trying to recreate a milli, they used the same snares and claps n everything!!
However, this song is kinda catchy and Mario has always impressed me as a singer.... |

Not a fan, Gucci Mane is a pretty ordinary rapper & Bangladesh seems to producer more bad songs then good. Mario was the highlight (I guess we cant say he got overshadowed by his featuring artists), his vocals were decent enough, though I know he can make much better tracks

This is rubbish. I was looking forward to hearing something new from Mario. He has one of the best voices in the game right now, but nothing could save this song. Beat got more and more annoying, and the melody was terrible too. This song needs to be locked up and never heard again.

Man Gucci can be brutal at times and this is one of them. He is the hot guy right now, but he doesn't mesh well with Mario. Also, Garrett didn't help the song either.
