It sucks, but Jada Pinkett's band, Wicked Wisdom, is probably upset that they didn't write it. Ha ha ha... it's basically their sound and writing style all the way. Poor Will Smith.

The first time I listened to The Dead Weather (that 'Treat Me Like Your Mother' song) I was like "damn, is Jack trying to be a rapper?". Don't get me wrong, I love him. He's such a great musician...But I prefer him in the White Stripes, singing and playing guitar. @ ohrobot – I totally agree with you!

The way I see it is that Jacks firing on all cylinders at the moment and needs multiple outputs, considering Meg's crisis that placed The White Stripes on a temporary hiatus, I think Jack's being respectful by reserving the Whites Stripes sound in a peppermint-stripe box and getting his release by other means. I'm sure I read somewhere that Jack and Meg have begun discussing the next Stripes album and I'm convinced it's going to be a raw rocking return to form. @Ohrobot: I can respect and understand that completely, even myself as a biased fan find It difficult to dedicate the time to learn The Dead Weather album before I see them play at the end of the month because it’s so off-beat, like a stick in the ear that takes some getting used to, though I am realizing it’s brilliance more and more with each listen.

All of the songs that he made before joining the Raconteurs had a real Rock N' Roll feel to 'em, but nowadays it just, at least to me, seems silly and uninspired. Sure, he is a hugely talented guy that understands what music is, but something has changed. Is it for the better? For most people the answer is yes, but I just want him to bring back the dive bar element to his output. "Handsprings" was in my opinion, a sort of spoken word type of delivery that fit the concept and meshed well... on the other hand, when I first heard him speak the line " You can't be a pimp and a prostitute too" in the otherwise fantastic song "Icky Thump" I knew something was different. Something had changed, but at the time I wasn't able to decide exactly what. I don't want to be portrayed as a jerk for my being immensely disappointed with his musical leanings as of late, but I do want to express my heartbreak over what I've come to view as some sort of letdown. I'm all for artists growing, but there are certain examples throughout history that clearly outline a fantastic musician's dip into unpleasing territories. Sure, there will be fans who completely enjoy his recent offerings, but as someone who was paying attention long ago, I miss the old days. In fact, I think a little Red Death at 6:14 is in order. @ Miss Modern Age... I have been checking out your site for years now and I've enjoyed it every time.

I can't wait for the Dead Weather to go away... Blanche to record again... The Greenhornes to record again... and most importantly, The White Stripes to sit down and remember what it was like to play Rock n' Roll. Whenever I hear Dead Weather music, I imagine it's in heavy rotation at some bar where Bob Marley is also on the juke and guys in backward baseball caps shoot pool and argue about "Shannon's tits" all damn night before getting too drunk and punching some car window. Jack hasn't lost his magic, I just think that he, like Julian Casablancas, doesn't know what to do with himself musically and ends up confusing his early fans. I still have a light on for you Mr. White. This video is great and all, but why is everyone ignoring the fact the Jack secretly wants to be a rapper?
