Crazy - I didn't know Wayne was scooping up leftover Beyonce records. I joke, I joke.

This isn't why millions of folks are Lil Wayne fans, but radio will play the sh*t out of this song, so (sadly) I understand it.

It's a real good song. Something not really expected from Weezy but we wand to hear rhymes, not singing. If this is the only track on the new album like this then I ain't mad.

Somewhere Frank Ocean, T-Pain and The Dream are side-eyeing this track. I didn't know Wayne was doing reference tracks for Drake now. But they'll be killing this on the radio in 5, 4, 3 ...

honestly...

this is a good move..and i really like this song...it will make a fine change for a second single

However, contrary to the blurb in the beginning, weezy has never been afraid of doing what he feels. Perhaps why i still rate him as an artist even though there have been many songs which i didnt like from him.

Rate 4.5 upwards rounding to 5

I don't give a @*#$!. This is a dope song. It sounds like he finally managed to have his studio fix his singing voice. But no matter how much I hated rebirth this is a dope song.

Holy BatSnips and Cow Dibbles is that what the Carter IV gonna give us! Ummm Im quite speechless on this one! I mean I kinda get it on a marketing perspective...I can hear this being played to no end on the radio (which I wont be listening to) but with that said...should this belong on one of Wayne's cross-over genre albums like his rock thing. I just don't know. Im shaking my head as I listen and laughing at the same time. I can't take it serious but the reality is, its not a horrible song..just one I would have shut down the booth and said...ummm no Wayne...this track aint for you!

This song is new for me since I have never heard Lil' Wayne sing before. He's pretty good... this really surprised me, it's nice to see him take a break from rapping all the time to singing every once in a while.

I'm actually really impressed that Wayne has grown this much. I think another artist would have done a better job with it, but props to him for pushing his boundaries. Hip Hop needs change. This is that.

Actually enjoyed this. Usually when Lil Wayne sings it's just awful, but the vibe on this song is really cruisy and it works well. Whether this will help Tha Carter IV sell millions of copies I'm not sure, but no complaints from me. Solid 4

Naturally, when a rapper makes a departure like this, there will be people who are skeptical of it. But in all truthfulness, I was hooked on first listen. This is potentially my favorite Wayne single, real talk.

I have a friend that believes Weezy got better at his rap game after he co-signed Drake. I told him Weezy was just good to begin with. But after listening to this crooner I am thinking he definately gets influence from Drizzy.

First of all, I'm guessing everyone that listened to this asked themselves if this was really weezy and yeah it is. This is "far from the usual" as he says a lot in his songs but it is also an amazing track

It wasn't awful I guess. For a radio song it's not awful, but I don't understand what happened to Weezy. He used to be an incredible rapper, but he has fallen off as of late. It's not terrible, but for being "the greatest rapper alive" he should stick to rapping.

Weezy needs to go back to his Da Drought 3 type stuff. Leave the singing to Drake and T-Pain. Wayne has dropped so many levels on my list since he started hopping on every single track possible and going out of his "comfort zone" and failing.

I agree with the positive feedback so far. I mean yea people obviously he's not Trey Songz. But this adds great variety to his album. Not only that but this will as other people have already said "crossover" to fans of other genre's. The production is on point, and like it or not people this was definitely a good move by Weezy. Obviously he's not gonna be doing nothing but pop songs now, but this will widen his already large fan base. I expect a hard core street banger for the next single.

Well, i'm not expecting much from that Carter IV, it will sell a lot for sure because the music industry wants it but just like the Carter III, it won't be a necessary hip hop album !

Song deserves a 4.5. Lil wayne loses the .5 points because there are a couple moments where the lyrics just fall flat. Overall it's always nice to hear wayne rap/sing about something other than fellatio and money. Reminds me a bit of Comfortable and Tie My Hands from Carter III. Hope this track does well.

is it crazy I actually like this song? i had refrained from hearing it after the negativity, but glad i did. it's mellow and meaningful. is it rap? no. However, I don't think Wayne was reaching for the Hip Hop audience with that...and there's nothing wrong with it..so kudos.

I mean Clearly, everything isn't for every one. Personally, from a lyrical stand point, I thought it was not only a clever move on his camp's part, but also innovative for him. Songs with substance is what the industry is missing. So you don't like it, I feel that his direction with this track is for the grown and sexy, not the new agers. Great job Wayne!
