New Music: Flo Rida Featuring Nelly Furtado "Jump"

Sad to say, I just made my first $1.29 purchase on iTunes and it was for a Flo Rida track, "Jump" to be exact. Now, before I lose anymore credibility, let me just say that I made the sacrifice to support my girl Nelly Furtado.

I mean, these impulse purchases happen when you're a major Nelly Furtado fan (think pre-Loose days) and when you factor in that she's been completely M.I.A. (not the rapper...). So, I pulled the trigger and I'm completely disappointed, which is not really surprising. Flo Rida does nada for me -- in fact, he's part of the group of current mainstream chart toppers that I'd like to see go away quickly.

It's a typical Flo Rida song complete with a dizzying, non-sensical rap over a club banging beat while Nelly recites a brainwashing chorus of "When I say jump/you say how high/I ain't never seen seen nobody--ady get so high." Ugh - it's atrocious, sounds like she's totally phoning it in too. Again, thank you Timbaland for ruining an talented songwriter in Ms. Furtado and minimize her to a mere sex object/hook singer.

Check the track out below -- curious to hear your thoughts on the collabo - or lack thereof.
