I can't quite put my finger on what makes it so great - maybe how it seems like there's a Jay-Z-style guest verse right around the corner, but it never actually comes? (The Juelz Santana remix isn't bad, but I'll take the original every time.)
Amerie is so good. I have no problems with a scenario in which this song is "Crazy in Love"-level inescapable.

Rhymes with "mammary." Which I wholly thought Luda would've made note of by now.

"but buddenless version please "
What's wrong with the Budden verse exactly prima? I prefer him muchly on "Whatever You Want" true.

er by which i mean nas sounds refreshingly exciting on that tune as is
― hold tight the private caller (mwah), Thursday, 10 March 2005 13:28 (nineteen years ago) link
'didnt u know'! which i found eventually, but shd never have bothered; generally i do have a distaste for rap guest verses BUT i dont want to sound like these ninnies who automatically hate all men, (y'know like those gender-agenda divs who didnt want jay-z on 'crazy in love' or say 'gully' is better than 'singalong') so i shd qualify it's mostly because they are often stuck on as an needless afterthought vague stab at extra popularity, which is resentibly patronising, and also that often the verses are quite crassly rubbish in terms of providing any interesting dialogue with the song, which i find to be the case on 'didnt you know', besides it being a lame verse as is. 'didnt u know' is a song of one voice plainly addressing another
I told you babe so many timesI would never hurt youSo why you actin so surprisedAll you got to do is…Is show me that you feel the same way I doDidn’t you know it’s bout me and you? y'know? no place for joey budden
one variation i will accept tho is that joe buds does sound quite good and live on this beat! so for instance altho jadakiss is a total dumbass on teedra moses' 'you'll never find' i dont mind so much cos jada's throaty burnished bronze is texturally v nice on that golden beat
― hold tight the private caller (mwah), Thursday, 10 March 2005 13:54 (nineteen years ago) link
I broadly agree re: rap guest verses but the only real dud which springs to mind is the Lumidee remix - it's such an intimate song, it sounded like she was singing it half to herself in her bedroom, no need for anyone to invade it.

in the end the result isnt so much one of listeners engaging and taking sides but of a presenting a general a generally unhappy bickering relationship malaise
I think this was intentional, and pretty much a good way to summarise the relationship in that song. I always picture Jadakiss walking out of the door after he finishes his verse, and Teedra's got no one to sing to any more :( actually, what it suddenly reminds me of right now is Bree van de Kamp's marriage in Desperate Housewives :(

I’m pretty ILX hivemind-ey but ngl I struggle to get into this one? The beat’s amazing but the chorus is a little too annoying.. “shrill” is the word that comes to mind
I will hear no bad words about nelly and kelly rowland’s dilemma though

“Dilemma” is cool because they tried to send a text using Microsoft Excel in the video. People were really really stupid with technology back in the day.

This song is good & iconic but not my favorite of the rich Harrison x Amelie songs or rich Harrison songs proper .... as a song “get right” by jlo is better to me even if Amerie is obv >>>>
“Rollin down my face” by amerie is 🔥
