I feel what yall are sayin about the beat.  It is the epitome of a Storch beat as of late.  It def has a club feel, NOTHING MINDBLOWING.  Its obvious with the choice of producers Cube is using that he will go for the mainstream market.  And 9 times out of 10 i'm not gonna like that.  

But look at what Cube himself has contributed to these tracks:  Chrome and Paint wasn't the typical sounding Neptunes beat, and he put WC on there.  Then there is Child Support, which has Cube reflecting on all of these young cats comin in the game and disgracing hip-hop.  Great subject matter that hopefully sparks some people to realize how much bullshit is really going on.  

Then, we get (which is my favorite) Bad Day, Worst Day ft. Killer Mike (not sure who produced).  This is Cube being the Cube that made me a huge fan of his.  Again, great subject matter, matched with a dope ass beat.  And Killer Mike ain't just thrown on cuz he's a newer cat, and Cube is trying to hit that fan base.  Its cuz KM and Cube fit together very well, and KM def held his own. (his flow couldn't touch Cube's on this one though).

What we're seeing from Cube is that he is getting mainstream production, but he's not cutting off his nuts trying to be something he's not.  Believe me, when i first heard the listing of production, i really had no initial intent to pick this up.  But Cube jumped on these beats, and wasn't lazy.  He could have just went through the motions, put out the record, and probably went gold or plat off the production alone (See Snoop, 50 cent, etc.).  

And one last thought:  There aren't many (if any) occasions that i purposely listen to a Storch beat these days.  Cube is THE reason that i'm bumpin this joint, and is prolly the reason that i'm giving the beat a chance.  That says to me that Cube is hungry.

Man, I'm feeling this song! The beat is indeed a regular club type-of-beat, but it's definitely got a West Coast vibe to it (keyboards, sound effects). It's far from a spectacular tight song, but still...the shit bumps! Plus Cube drops some good lyrics...

If Cube sounds as good on the rest of the album as on this song, I'll buy it. No doubt.

Surprisingly plain. Thought Cube would be a little more explosive in his latest effort. Has ne1 really confirmed that Chrome and Paint is the Neptunes?

Listen to the drum pattern.  It wreaks of Pharrell.
