Poppy commercial offering from Jay-Z – not as if he was getting mad underground props anyway, unless you're Mariah Carey - which utilises a sugary female vocal on the chorus. Jay-Z is one of those MCs that has developed a kind of suit-all-backing vocal style rather like our friend Puff Daddy. So, he wheels it out again to no greater or lesser effect than the last time around and that's about all there is to tell. Except to point out that, in no way is Jay-Z as bad as Puff Daddy.
