Graded Song: Justin Timberlake "Suit & Tie" (Feat. Jay-Z)

Justin Timberlake is somewhat of a legend when it comes to urban pop music. He released his first album, "Justified" which gave us "Cry Me a River" and caused Britney to pen her best song ever Everytime." Then him and Timbaland made some magic with his second LP, the modern classic "Futuresex/LoveSounds" which blessed the world with his three number one singles and a laundry list of sexual songs. Then he wanted to be an actor and left us with a whole bunch of one hit wonder R&B crooners to take his place. Now, six years later he re-emerges with Timbaland and Jay-Z for his musical comeback via his brand new single, "Suit and Tie." Do Timbo and JT still have the magic touch?

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

Why am I not slayed beyond repair by this? Justin, this is not 2005. It's 2013, which means the world doesn't need you digging up your "Justified" leftovers and serving it up as something fresh. If that wasn't bad enough, he delivers like he is Chris Brown. I've never known JT to sound like anyone else but JT, but I definitely heard some Chris in there, especially in the line about some girl having a phatty. I smell this going into "Your Body" and "Big Hoops" territory. Please pass this off as a promotional single and give us something worth six years of waiting. The good thing about the track is that it is signature Justin, but I personally want I-waited-six-years-and-I-came-to-snatch-some-basic-bitches-wig Justin. 
Final Grade:D
