Jay-Z Picks “On to the Next One” as New Single. Right Choice? (Listen & Download)

It's official:
Jay-Z's selected "
On to the Next One" as the next single off his uber-smash album "Blueprint 3". A bouncing, club ready cut featuring production (and ad-libs) from
Swizz Beats, "On to the Next One" is catchy, but I don't think it's a hit. Far be it from me to question hip-hop's president, but I wouldn't have gone with "On to the Next One" as the next single, and not just because Swizz has been making the same beat for five years now. Nothing's going to top "Empire State of Mind", but Hova should be riding the wave of goodwill he has going for him right now, not throwing it away on ultimately forgettable club tracks.
What would I have picked? Glad you asked. I would have gone with "
A Star is Born". That track's some R&B appeal, and with all his name drops you know it would get everyone talking, Plus he looks good by putting on J. Cole, his Roc Nation label's star young rapper. Plus he could make a video for this that breaks the world record for most cameos in one song. If anyone could pull it off it'd be Jay. To put it more eloquently, f**k "On to the Next One", "A Star is Born" would have been a much better call.
