An oldie-but-goodie. Shook me out of my seat the first time I heard it. It’s such a thrilling and sad song all at once.

The first time I’d heard this song, it was like no other hip-hop/R&B song I’d ever heard…that hook was just bananas, and the beat was so new to me. I mean, I don’t think I realized what the Neptunes sound was when they came out with N.O.R.E.’s “Superthug” and “Nothin’,” but this single was so in-your-face that it let me know: “Okay, this is what’s up. These guys are the Neptunes.”
