People that are still doubting the existence of this song can exit to the left at anytime. Anyways, Rich Paul who works with James as a part of their marketing company LRMR) revealed some more insight to MTV News about the star-studded collaboration from Kanye West, Drake, Lil Wayne & Eminem.
“It was done, it was just Drake and Kanye, and then they went back and got two more prolific talents and it just made it even crazier, ” Paul told MTV News late Tuesday. “They blessed Drake crazy.”
The song came together when Gee Roberson, an executive at Atlantic Records who also manages West and helps to oversee the careers of Drake and Wayne, visited LeBron during the playoffs in May.
“He came over and played this — it was me, LeBron and Maverick [Carter, James' manager],” said Paul, who will co-executive produce the project for James’ camp. “And he played the track, it was hot. It went right with the movie, it was like perfect for a moment that you want to be forever. And when he decided to put Wayne, Drake, Kanye and Eminem on it [together], it just makes is better. It’s one of those songs fans will really want to hear forever. It’s that type of feeling.”
And as said last time, the track will feature the same Boi-1da produced beat & new Wayne & Drake verses. Now there is talk of someone replacing Drizzy on the hook…
“There’s gonna be an unexpected feature on the hook,” he said. “Right now we have three different R&B singers writing the hook to see who comes up with the best one. I’mma be shocked. So I can’t tell you who it’s gonna be.” On the original, Drake performs double duty, rapping and singing the chorus.
Spotted at NR.
to be honest i’m not that excited. Weezy is mediocre, drake hasn’t really fully made a name for himself yet, em is experiencing old-age fall-off…
(readies self for hate)

$10 says the weasel has some strange line about sticking his dick in wierd places or sitting in ass holes, that completely ruins the song

If they get rid of Drake and Wayne and replace them with talented rappers this song might be good

just says an rnb singer writing the hook could have lebron singing it in autotune ROFLMAO but im sorry that my comment bothered you “drizzy”
Rio$ said this on August 26th, 2009 at 10:11 am
What the fuck? They tryin to create a “slaughterhouse super group” type track with 4 artists? Fuck outta here this track ain’t gonna touch a slaughterhouse track lyrically….but if theres no autotune it’ll probably be crazy
“cocky, but don’t be a copycat when you see me rockin that LA Kings hockey hat”
iEXAM said this on August 26th, 2009 at 10:19 am
^ Why does everything that has four Artists going to be compared to Slaughterhouse? And do you actually think they are trying to get at a SH track?
God, people get Overly Extra with the SH comments sometimes.
other then that, can’t wait to hear the track.

wait,so they’re using the same beat? It was ok, but I can’t really see Eminem over it, but hopefully he kills it as usual, and please God no autotune.
And yes, I know it always sounds like hate when people say that this rapper or that rapper doesn’t deserve the success they have had, but seriously. Drake is cool and and all but, there are more talented rappers, even in the freshmen class (Wale and J. Cole) that deserve it more. If he does eventually achieve Kanye-status, he’ll be looked at as one of the luckiest rappers alive.
Marshall said this on August 26th, 2009 at 10:58 am
^ agree with marshall but i think thts the lane drizzy is goin tryn na get kanye status but ayo wat beat is it.. cuz somebody said they heard the beat id like to hear it. man i wish every artist took fans suggestions for 1 track every year….like how bout a andre 3k,kanye,j.cole,drake,eminem,jay-z track.. id piss my pants if i saw ht headline
Yeezy said this on August 26th, 2009 at 11:11 am
Drake is weak, Weezy is weak, kanye has hot verses, and eminem is to old, ready yourself for autotune most likely, this song isnt gonna be the hottest shit this year, its gonna be one of those song were you listen to it, and say…”that was too much”
-there gonna overload this with so many things they think are dope that its gonna suck high balls
chuck booster said this on August 26th, 2009 at 11:16 am
WTF
thats the best hook drizzy ever came up with wtf would they EVER change it for? nobody remembers Kardinal Offishals verison which destroyed the hook and ruined the song.
big mistake taking drake off the hook IMO.

This joint is going to be super dope. Anybody saying that ANY of those rappers listed above are wack or are “crossing their fingers” that they won’t be on the record needs to immediately Heath Ledger themselves.
Just like someone else mentioned, when it’s a supergroup like this, each person has to bring their A Game to the table…and contrary to anyone’s opinion, all of those rappers at one point had pretty superb lyricism (including Wayne, about 4 years ago). People who still only know Drake as a “pop” or “Young Money Signee” rapper who sings should even be speaking because they are uninformed on his actual music history. Eminem, contrary to most of the tracks on his last album (except for Underground and Beautiful), is still lyrically iller than your favorite rapper.
Oh, and Kanye West has NEVER stopped smashing the game with ill rap verses, he just had a little brain lapse with 808s.
So I say we stop the hatred and analyzing b4 the record even drops, and then wait till it drops to talk about the outcome.
My guess is even if it’s good, some of y’all still won’t give the props, cuz that’s just internet blogger attitude for ya.
Alright, rant done. LOL
That was just my two cents…and then some.
Commence whatever snap backs y’all are going to come with…lol

I love that “Forever” track, this should be a dope remake, I’m excited. Eminem on that beat sounds interesting as hell.
I’ve noticed most of the people I know who hate Drake are also “rappers”… which I find ironic, LOL

HiCLAS! said this on August 26th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
HiCLAS!, that’s exactly what I’m talking about! People have to listen to the material first before they start hating! I was talking to an older head hating on Drake the other day, and I was like, “Have you even listened to all of dude’s music?”. He was like “Naw, I’ve only heard like one song”.
WOW!

dang mad drake hate. comeback season for ya’ll plz, he does have some lyrical talent. but it definitely is true they’re squeezing out w.e juice thats in him to make him bigger than he supposed to be -paused.
tbh, i feel that drizzy did a dope hook on that forever track. i have a feeling itll be The dream (SMH) , rkellz LMFAO , jeremih (i doubt) , or like kid cudi just for some laughs
u fuxed with the chorus, that shit was dope.
like i said once before, this song is still mysterious for me, theres chances that itll suck and chances that itll be the jam of the year. its all iffy now. only wait until tomorrow, or tonight if we get a leak ;]

@ Young son
Its not 4 years ago, so odds are Wayne isnt gonna come with anything close to good lyrics, plus Wayne has always basically been on that string random metaphors and punchlines thing. Same goes for Drake, he was bringing heat 4 years ago and hes also been on that punchline thing. Em has been hit and miss this year, at times he’s come close to his old self, other times he hasnt. But Kanye has been nothing but fire all year, so im not gonna hate on the Louis Vuitton Don. Oh and dont act like your the only one who listens to these artists whole catalogues it makes you seem like a douche bag
yo mom said this on August 26th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Yo Mom, I’ve never said anything like that.
But the way a lot of these bloggers talk, it sounds like that is the case. I know you have to feel me on that. Just read for yourself. If you have listened to their full catalogs before you’ve made comments and judgments about the skills of an artist, that’s great. We need more “hip hop fans” to do this. But you can’t deny there is plenty who don’t.
