Mane tamed, maintained bare frame..

...under the summer dress tasted like rain" - Blu

Seduction and Hip-Hop..great combo. I'm talking real seduction, not "after the party is the hotel lobby" and or "road head in the Honda with Lambo doors" But I am biased though. I grew up on shit like this, this, and this , long before I fell in love with hip-hop music.

"My pen taps the paper then my brains blank" - Nas

Everything is great about this song. From the Craig G and Biz Markie samples, to the briskly paced, organized stream of conscious delivery.

Seconds verse is the standout...

"My pen taps the paper then my brain's blank
I see dark streets, hustling brothers who keep the same rank
Pumping for something, some'll prosper, some fail
Judges hanging niggas, uncorrect bails, for direct sales
My intellect prevails from a hanging cross with nails
I reinforce the frail, with lyrics that's real
Word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
I decipher prophecies through a mic and say peace."
