I saw them last winter and it blew everyone away. After the gig and went to the kebab shop next door to the club and bought a bottle of coke, and everyone was giving me the evil eye for it.

It's not one of my favourite tracks off the album, but there's no denying it challenges the assumption that all hip-hop involves disrespecting women. It's just a nice change of pace.


My fav off the album is easily I'm A African.

batreleaser 04.27.2008 08:51 PM

its bigger than hip hop is one of the best driving tracks ever.
