Usher had an interview with MTV, and explained the concept of the record and hitting the studio with Jay Z yet again.

We got together on his album, got back together on this one. Of course, with the talk of both of us now being newlyweds, there is a question as to why, and is it real? Well, if you hear that song, you’ll understand what Jay meant when he says, ‘Seeds becomes plants, boys become men, you’ve got to grow up, not down.’ Being a positive influence, being where you are, being honest about where you are is really the ultimate objective.

Fun Fact: With Jay’s busy schedule, they recorded the track along with Jermaine Dupri during the Atlanta stop of Jay Z’s Heart of the City Tour, in Usher’s hometown.

Rihanna imitates the gun that’s being fired, at the man that has broken her.

But this is also a island reggae type song and Rihanna might be paying homage to Buju Banton’s song “Champion”

Every man’s dream, a perfect woman to the media and public, but a freaky acrobat when the lights shut off.

Ludacris was right, as him and Usher hooked up on the “U Don’t Have to Call (Remix)” three years earlier. Later in the year, they would appear on another track, and they still collab to this day.

A play on the phrase “mind your own business” that illustrates the difficulty of Drake’s situation. Drake’s talking about the “fucking” business, literally. The hardest part about sex is making sure you get the most out of it, not your partner.

Also since he’s famous he’s in the spotlight and everyone is concerned about the things hes doing and the girl he is dating, when they need to be focused on their own selves.

Jay Z has made a career out of being subliminal and for the most part composed about issues, however Kanye is the very opposite. Though Jay has probably offered his fair share of advice for Ye, this is probably about when Kanye was on the tonight show and Jay Leno asked what Kanye’s mom would think about the stunt he pulled when he took the mic from Taylor swift. Kanye seemed very emotional about the question.
