FEEDBACK OF THE WEEK
stoneyisland on N*E*R*D 'Spazz' Out On New Track
Real talk is Pharrell kinda on the DL? I mean brotherman is on some androginous David Bowie type shit:) If nerd gets one more dude on this photo they could be a new age village people:)Oh dear. We're not really sure how Pharrell comes across as DL, androgynous or on some "David Bowie type shit," seeing how he's only shirtless and not cheating on his wife with another man in the pic, or wearing eyeshadow. Also, there's only three people in the photo, and they happen to be members of the group. There are no extra fifth-mic n****s. We're not really sure if this comment has any real basis in logic or reality. Anyone care to clear this up? I'm thinking we were supposed to chuckle, at least.
You may remember the song "The Sweetest Thing" as just one of the many gems from the 1997 Love Jones motion picture soundtrack. I remember this song as the first time I actually thought Lauryn Hill was sexy. I mean, yes, I always thought she was a pretty dope rapper, playing off of, if not outshining, her Fugees brethren at every turn. But dammit, this was different. This was the perfect blend of voice and lyric, Lauryn giving acoustic accolades to her "sweet prince of the ghetto," letting anyone who cared to know about his intoxicating, amaretto-flavored kisses. Yup, sexy. We'd heard her sing before, on "Killing Me Softly" and back in the day in the movie Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, but this right here was a precursor to the solo artist we would fall head over heels for a year later with the release of her debut CD. The sweetest thing, indeed.
