i think that those bonus tracks should have been put as normal tracks and they should be found on all cds because they are so full of energy and they would make L&F sell even more. do y'all agree?

im not sure why he didnt do this. it might be even possilbe there wasnt enough room on the cd and he would have to have 2 discs.cause the cd is 15 songs (16 if your count the 2nd remix) and there are no skits. so thats alot of time.

Perhaps coming to the stage or chosen one... not feeling we won't... I think that's the weakest track of this Lost and Found era... yes... weaker than If you can't dance...

What's wrong with "If You Can't Dance"? He's paying homage to "Roxanne Roxanne" with the fast ol' school flow, that's dope! I think "Scary Story", "Wave 'Em Off" and "Switch" are weaker than "If You Can't Dance".

First of all, I think Wave Em Off is a great track, it is not in the same category as Switch. Anyways, it would have been nice to release all those tracks on all the CD's, here in the US, we don't get any of that, and my internet connection is too slow to really download anything, so I haven't heard any of them.

take off:
wave em off
if u can't dance

put on:
comin to the stage
that other kwame song or a song he did w/ Kanye


Switch was a lot of fun and is a good song to just have fun to
if u cant dance is corny and cheesy
wave em off gets irratating cause the background vocals have a whiney effect
love what u do
and do what u love

That song he did with Kanye, is that anywhere, do we have it in the potnas forum, or not?

"If You Can't Dance" is a classic JJFP type track to me, it's a fun track and Will rips the flow, if you hate that you must hate ol' school hip-hop, that'd made a better single than "Switch", this shoulda been a double album since we had to wait so long for it, hopefully one day all the unreleased tracks'll be released, especially the ones with Jazzy.

I have to agree that Wave 'em off is a great track. The lyrics are far superior to If You Can't Dance as well as Switch...

From a distance, you can witness
The glow from my entourage
Gravitate towards the ambiance


and

Coming of age I invaded nations
On stage, I seen Haitian & Asian faces.
No vacations just more locations
I go places, so chasing my vocation.


I think the reason that there's not too much love for Wave 'em off is the chorus and the singing, and to an extent, the beat... But hey, to each their own...

Incidentally, if I were to be stranded on an island with a choice between If You Can't Dance and Scary Story... Scary Story with no hesitation... Switch and If You Can't Dance... Switch...

We Won't is the only song in the Lost and Found era that If You Can't Dance would beat out... And that's saying a lot...

The US gets what i like 2 call the artist's version of the album. Of course label's have a hand in how the album turns out, but the US versions are "the album" the way the artist wanted it for the most part. All those import versions have the bonus stuff for marketing. The aritst pretty much never has any say in the bonus trax that end up on the album.

well damn yeah i'd like 2 see them on there. i can't believe some people dislike We Won't. that might be one of my favorites on the album. i can understand if the chorus and the "drummy drum" gets old, but Will totally rips the verses!!! if u can't dance is also great, but it's gotten old on me. wave em off has totally grown on me. i still don't like the beat 2 much or the singing, but i like the lyrics a lot!
