After all the hype I have been hearing from this board, after all the threads and posts about THE WATCHER 2 this THE WATCHER 2 that, I downloaded it.  

Now the way you guys have talked about this track I expect nothing but straight heat you know a track that I would bump for days on end and nothing else would ever get a look in.  I have downloaded the song and all I can say is OVERATED.  

The way everyone on this board descirbed that song was so overrated that I am actually stunned to be saying that.  The song is average IMO and I could easily bump The Watcher off 2001 for so much longer than this.  

The beat is awful, I didnt even find myself nodding my head to it or tapping my feat to it, I think that Jay Z's rappin is ok but I would love to see him perform that live because I swear there moments in his what 1.30 second verse where he dont breath for like 30 seconds.  Even tho his rappin was good I dont think it was his style at all.  

Truth was awful on the hook, it just sounded basic and boring.  And there was nothing new from Dre, still rhyming about himself, boasting about himself.  

Rakim impressed me cause at least his verse was well dropped and the lyrics where well written and it flowed good but really the only part of this track that I really felt was the:

Every where that I go, aint the same as before,
People I used to know, just dont know me know more,
But everywhere that I go, I got people I know, who got people they know,
So I suggest you lay low!

Everything else just sucked.  Ahhhhh the beat is giving me a headache.  

The song might as well of been a totally new song and IMO the Term THE WATCHER shouldent of been used in this song at all because this track does THE WATCHER now justice at all.  

This for me has most definetly been one of the most over-rated hyped up songs that I have listened to since I have been here at WCC, I dont know if everyone was just like wow, its dre so I'll just say its good or if people actually did feel it as much as they said they did.  But I know one thing for sure this song will not be getting much play from me.

I agree 100%.

I like the og watcher 5 times better than the watcher II

Bez here's a little advice for you,  dont listen to anything the people at this board say.  form your own opions.  If you listen to them before you hear songs you will always be upset.  They either blow up songs too much or try to tear them down.  The only reason they blew this song up is becuase of Dre.  Most of the people here are on Dre and Eminem really hard.  This song does not even have a topic,  Jay-Z is not talking about being a watcher, Dre is still talking about....well "still"  "Im still in the game, Im still this, Im still that"  Rakim Had the best verse becuase it was on topic.  but yeah dont listen to these fools most of hear a song one time and say "oohhh that is classic",  Dont let them make up your mind for you.

Don't believe the hype...

I personally think "Truth Hurts" heats it up on this song.  Her part is what makes this song almost live up to the hype.  IMO  Im not so critical on this song because.. Its like this.. maybe WE fans are holding Dre to some UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS just cuz we need a "fix."

We're so busy fiendin for the ultimate beat.. and believe me.. I know the feeling.  I wake up every morning with a "bowl" "coffee" and a "beat."  An admitted beat junkie, that I am!!!!!  But that doesnt mean that we should be so critical.  Shit.. we are the only ones who get disappointed and bitch.  Not the artist.

I think overall The Watcher 2 delivered.
