"Am I.G., bitch!"
"Alone"-Ja Rule ft Irv, Ashanti, 7 and Harry-O (who!?)
The Inc. was one of my favourite guilty pleasures circa-3:36/Pain is Love...matter of fact, I'd say that of most generic gangsta-rap with great beats and catchy hooks (I see you Curtis!), so I'm glad to hear this throwback to "Down 4 u" style smoothness.
The song's littered with Imus-level mysoginy, but after clever and extensive analysis, I've concluded that it's necessary to the track's core existence as a cryptic work of social commentary re the paradox best expressed by Eve and X on "why do good girls like bad guys?".
why is this the case?
why the masochism?
well, to put it in layman's terms: Pain is Love...genius, bravissimo!
I don't believe that anymore than you do, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. the crux of the matter is whether Jeffrey's set to come back like Jordan, wearing the 4-5. It's a certified banga to my educated ear, but it's all down to whether the laffy taffy generation can appreciate it's subtlety. I hope they do.
