audio review : Stay In My Corner ( song ) … The Dells

This song; a romantic and soulful plea conceptually hinted by, of all things, the sport of boxing; doesn’t really get sweet until about the half-way mark. That’s when it finally settles on a steady melody and the vocal ad-libs, which include one classic falsetto and an awesomely big “baby”, are set free over soaring love horns.

audio review : Starter ( song ) … Street Life + Gza + Inspectah Deck + U-God ( featuring Sunny Valentine )

This is a pretty good song if you can get pass Sunny Valentine and his annoying chorus, which doesn’t sound as bad over a jazzy Rza beat with Tash Mahogany crooning softly in the background. It’s basically a love ode bursting with ghetto testosterone and sloppy metaphors. The concept has the rappers putting their girls on a sports team, which is about as romantic as Wu-Tang get.
