welly
Satu lagu yang paling aku suka dari album Raymond v Raymond dari Usher adalah Lil Freak, yang sebenarnya lebih dulu dirilis ketimbang OMG. Single ini menampilkan rap dari Nicki Minaj. Nilai jual? Pasti. Karena belakangan nama 'Nicki Minaj' sangat gencar nongol dimana-mana. Jadi, Usher tidak salah pilih. Dan, dari beat-beat yang diperdengarkan di single ini juga, Usher benar-benar terdengar alami, this is his standard. Apalagi kalau dibandingkan dengan OMG yang justru mengaburkan ciri Usher dan menampilkan dominasi will.i.am. Kalau disini, Usher juaranya. Trus, porsi rap dari Nicki Minaj juga tepat, nongol di bagian bridge.
Siapa the man behind the curtain untuk Lil Freak ini? Dialah Polow Da Don, yang sudah sangat akrab dengan R&B dengan sepak terjang sejak tahun 2005 dengan hit seperti London Bridge (Fergie), Buttons (The Pussycat Dolls), Forever (Chris Brown), hingga yang paling baru Not Myself Tonight (Christina Aguilera). Kalau sudah begitu, bisa jadi lagu ini mampu menambah daftar hits yang ditangani oleh Polow Da Don kan?! Lirik untuk Lil Freak cukup ramai dengan F-word, sehingga perlu penyensoran sana sini sebelum lolos ke telinga kamu melalui radio ataupun di video. Ngomongin soal video, sudah pada lihat videonya belum? Nicki Minaj melalui MTV menyatakan betapa excited-nya dirinya akan video Lil Freak ini. "The video is freaky. And it's a great concept, a great story line, Nicki told MTV News. And it's a great concept, a great story line. It felt just like one of the sequels to 'Saw,' It was dope." Trus, saksikan juga penampilan khusus Ciara dan Jamie Foxx sebagai cameo di videonya ya.

Lyrics:
Ay girl yeah you da business, so what da business

[Usher]
