Reactions when 'Change Clothes' first leaked....

[The_King_of_Everything]

You know thats a valid point Hiphopfan, this was one of the first times Jay was coming out, and while there was heavy anticipation and expectations, it was the beginning of newer/younger artists beginning to crowd Jay at the top, tho none of them have had the longevity he had, 'Stunt 101' and 'Gangsta shyt' from 'Beg For Mercy may have gotten slightly more plays and attention, around this time, as G-Unit craze was reaching a fever pitch..

Re: The Black Album, I still want to know just what the fukk they were thinking with 'Justify My Thug'....

That beat was crazy tho

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

Justify My Thug is fukkin dope.

 

[TrifeGod]

Song was very disappointing to me

 

[Prae]

i HATED this song more than any song jay ever made other than Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde is decent imo. Dope beat, Jay with a smooth flow as usual, chorus is solid (although Pac obviously did it better), lyrics are fine for what the song is about. Although I don't care for Beyonce in the 3rd verse, but she looks damn fine in the video.

But yea I fukking hated Change Clothes, and it seemed like it was on TV all the time.

 

[mikishere]

shyt was dope then and dope now... as a matter of fact all of them jay + pharell collabos was dope besides that "anything" garbage on kingdom come

 

[Taadow]

That chit was/is not tight.

Bottom 5 Jay-Z single
Bottom 5 Neptunes track

 

[notorious8562]

I remember it leaking. I think my reactions went something like this:

 

[etrofllenrod504]

i thought and still think the song was dope when i 1st heard...it was just a straight chill song some shyt you would bump in a lounge....and i thought jay absolutely bodied it.
2nd verse is just soo smooth

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

do I to you, look like a lame who dont understand a broad with a mean shoe game??

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

Change Clothes wasn't poppin off in no damn lounges.

That song was played nowhere outside of radio.

 

[Harry B]

Nice single, nothing more or less.
Don't ask Nas stans, they've never been to parties and enjoyed the music, nikkas are posted up in the corner hating on the setting at any party

50 Cent/G Unit music overshadowed this song.... I remember the original Encore song, Dirt of off of your shoulders and 99 problems being much more popular...


This might have been the wackest song on the whole TBA, it certainty was the wackest single.

Are you telling me Stunt 101 was overshadowing Change Clothes?

you're wrong breh. I remember they played that shiit in club Love in DC like every third song. I had to bob my head to that bullshiit just to talk to bishes in the spot .

 

[Non Sequitur]

You have a stick up your ass if you don't like this song.

 

[KnickstapeCity]

I think it's a cool song

 

[Canada Goose]

Nice single, nothing more or less.

Are you telling me Stunt 101 was overshadowing Change Clothes?

Yep, that's the EXACT song I was thinking of. That song went number 1 on 106 and Park back then, Stunt 101 was a hit and was more poppin' than Change Clothes back then.
