2887884, my 2 cents...

the weak self-congratulatory verses?
the groupie bish (who sued jay for writing credits, lol) struggling to stay on beat saying the hook?
fa shizzle my nizzle?
the wack ass green screened dave meyers video?

there's honestly nothing i actually "enjoy" about this song.

even back in summer '01, it was always just meh - it's cool i guess.

the beat is the best thing about the track and tbh it feels like it would've suited another rapper much better.

in all honesty it's like an impotent celebration track (jay-z celebrating his favorite person, himself).
if it had been like 3 bpm faster with better drums it might've had some bite to it.
