Garbage. Trash. I know most of these youngins today will think it's so hype and a fitting tribute but it's a piece of sh*t.
Otis's voice slowed down to sound like a dying old man is fresh? But then this is nothing I wouldn't expect from the overated
overpaid Joe Camel looking clown known as Jay Z. I call him Lay Z. I wouldn't buy, hell, I wouldn't take it for free...

Heard it this past weekend while browsing in a thrift store. I was just so happy to hear that Otis was being remembered that I didn't listen with a critical ear.

splanky, "Garbage. Trash." Even those wise words can't capture the appalling vandalisation of this work left by Otis. Did they need to get permission from Otis's estate? Sums it all up for me, where the 'music' has gone, and I don't see it as evolution or influence, I see it as hijacking and exploitation of the worse kind.
