That beat was hot. The hook was hot, but what isn't hot is the use of the n-word by Kreayshawn's and her fellow White Mob member, V nasty.
Both rappers have caught a lot of heat for their flippant use of the word and are considered racist by members of the Hip Hop community.
However, I think the most important question to ask is why was Kreayshawn given a one million dollar contract with Sony, even though they know she has said the word and is associated with V-nasty?
Would they have signed her if she made anti-semetic or homophobic slurs? Why is it ok to disregard the feelings of one community but not the other, Sony?

Don't get me wrong, lyrically, it's one of the best hip hop songs in a long time. Tyler is basically arguing with his alter-ego and this is cleverly illustrated throughout the song with his use of paradoxes.
Musically, it didn't do much for me.
One thing is for sure, hip hop just got interesting again.
