Weezy’s perspective is pretty on point. I think most people though the idea of the song alone was stupid even if people maybe liked the song itself. According to XXL:
“That was actually a record for Tha Carter III that just leaked, It leaked out and everybody’s thinking that it’s going on Tha Carter IV ’cause I was actually gonna put it on Tha Carter IV . But I had been listening to it and didn’t like it. I don’t like it ‘cause the song, all the verses are old. And me being a perfectionist, I hate going with old verses.”
I thought he didn't practise and didn't lack shit. So why did he make a crappy song for?
