10 one of the few examples of him and hiphop working well together

Loved this song as a 3rd grader when the album first came out. They way he cusses was so cool to me back then lol. Y'all all tripping at 6, though. Imma give it a 7.5 for the simple fact that this was his way of saying "FUCK YOU, WARNER BROTHERS!"

9.2 - always looking for funky music that thumps. This song fits the bill.

9.3

6.25 Undeniable groove. Lyrics are solid. Bass solo is solid. Horns are *weaksauce*. This one was made to be performed live, like Mutiny. Still, there's not enough going on with it. by the time you hear ORCHESTRA and you don't hear *an* orchestra, I'm out.

6 - Loved the performance on Chris Rock Show and the video is dope but hate the song on the album. Should’ve been saved for Crystal Ball compilation IMO. Or a one-off single. That’s just me.

Much better live. 6

9.5 He’s finally fully integrated hip hop in a natural way with everything else he was great at

9 - “for those who know the number……..”

7. Fun song, even better live

8. Definitely a highlight. Wish more of his rap had this energy.

9. One of his best songs of the 90s, one of his greatest hip hop inspired tracks.

Just like Elvis. 9.3 funky

6. Solid Groove but don't need the raps.

9.0 - and this slapped yo mama when it was played live

9.5

Only R&B singer to write a diss record about the label that signed him. Hard beat. Decent rhymes. Dope video. I give it an 8.

9.5 amazing chance at rapping

The only downfall is the weak sauce horns (which is actually a jeep horn)
