      1. true he says it himself “they say i rap like big jay tupac andre 300 where is erika badu at” haha weezy a cocksucka

    1. *skeet* OMG I JUST EJACULATED ON MY PHONE FROM JERKING OFF TO THE THOUGHT OF JAYZ MAKING YET ANOTHER POWER MOVE!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS GUY 😉

      1. it was #1 on rnb/hiphop, now it’s #8 on top 100. maybe now you’ll understand while laugh at u for not reading carefully.

      2. smh. what did i spell wrong? or did i forget WE between while and laugh?

        it’s #8 on top100, a chart that has all types of music, so it means more than just the separate rnb/hiphop category. i’m saying the same thing the article is saying. wanna keep going because you think you’re too good to be wrong? it isn’t old news because the charting is NEW.

    3. Still don’t understand why they don’t do a video for this song. They don’t have a radio-friendly single, respect for that. But that doesn’t mean they should not shoot videos. It’s the same like with MBDTF. MBDTF had the epic Runaway and the All of The Lights video but apart of it? Monster video was released like half a year after the album dropped. Power only had a 2 min video. Bet Kanye would make more money (and had more artistic success) if he did more videos.

    4. Watch the Throne was clearly the best album of the year simply because it took such a risk musically. The carter IV was a serious let down dats why u hear “Niggaz In Paris” more than “She Will”.

      1. I really never understood why nobodies on the internet always act like they’re part of crews in the rap industry. Shit sounds fucking retarded.

    5. WEEZY DID THAT WITH SHE WILL THE FIRST WEEK!!! HAHA!! GAY-Z & THAT OTHER NIGGA CAN WATCH THE THRONE WHILE WAYNE IS ALREADY SITTIN IN IT!!
