Clearly feeling a little vulnerable in the wake of his ‘08 Heartbreak, Kanye West kicks off Teairra Mari‘s latest Booth feature on an understandably Paranoid note.  Spitting “...I know you’ll never love me./ You’ll only love my Diamonds,” the Louis Vuitton Don is clearly begging for some reassurance, and that’s exactly what the singer gives him—well, sort of; turning the tables with a little male objectification, the one-time “Princess of the Roc” states her intention to love and treasure her “diamond daddy” just as she would a precious stone.  It’s clear to see why this cut is being considered for dual single selection (with Cause a Scene); the intriguing concept, Mari’s sultry vocal stylings, and Kanye’s big-name appeal, along with Madd Scientist‘s fittingly icy instrumental, add up to a smoldering (can it be smoldering and icy?) club record with hit potential to spare.  At That Point is due out sometime this summer, and fans should be sure to check out Teairra’s exclusive interview with our own DJ Z.

Liked the first collabo with these 2 on the remix to her hit single (forget what it's called). This is another good look for Teairra. Kanye came through on the hot production, and T carries herself strongly. It's a good time for her to come back, in rotation.

I think this track is pretty solid. Kanye is a good fit and spits a nice opening verse. Mari sings pretty well and the melody and hook are pretty catchy. in rotation...

Productin is solid and Teairra's voice fits the beat. Glad to hear Ye off the autotune and back to his old spittin ways. The opening verse started this song off well. The hook is solid too nice track

Kanye kicked this off pretty well and Teairra was decent. The production is solid. Not really my style but I can't hate on what she's doing. Rotation.

"What's you disposition? Have you ever tried this position?" ;) Gotta love Kanye!
I like Tea's vocals but the song... is just not all that (besides bein too cliche)! I specially dislike the kind of chorus used here: no energy, so artificial.

reminds me of "Glamorous" by Fergie a lil bit... especially when the clapping percussions hit ya on chorus ... its written very well & and top it off with Kanye’s verse - burnin hot with passion & anger... definitely a hit for the radio ...
Teairra sounds as good as ever, she flows very well on this ... but the prod doesnt really stands out to me ... not too catchy i guess ... but easily a BANGER!!!

production is refreshin@. Kanye is a fool with that verse, I can see myself ridin to this, this is a throwaway track in my opinion once she be@ans to throw around those terrible lyrics. But the production and kanye makes this playable.

Kanye was good & Teairra was decent enough, though the track is nothing that I would play all that often, due to the production being a little dull. In rotation, just

Tea was the highlight here. Kanye's contribution was just okay and the Madd Scientist has producers MUCH hotter beats. This has the potential to be better.

This is a cool track. Not great, but Kanye's verse gives this the little extra that it needed I think.

The beat is a typical rnb uptempo beat. She sounds very sexy in here. Her verses aren't bad but I didn't like the hook. Kanye soundes weird and crazy, not bad! Overall decent song, but its melody didn't make me go crazy. Could have been more catchy

I love Tierra Mari's vocals and I agree that she's the best part of the song. Ye was dope tho, but I feel that the production was the weakest link of the track. If this was a Glamorous remake, it failed lol.
