IDK why this seminal L.A. hip-hop quartet doesn't get more love/respect. When I listen to this track I hear Dilla's influence straight away -- he samples Stan Getz's "Saudade Vem Correndo", loops his sax parts, and then drops a snippet of Run-DMC's "Rock Box" on top of it for good measure. Artists from Wiz Khalifa to UNKLE to Juice Wrld to JPEFMafia have used it in some form. And it's appeared in "8 Mile," "Entourage," "New York Undercover" and "Big Daddy," among other shows. It's a very unique, L.A. (not 2Pac or NWA's L.A.) take on alternative hip-hop (which De La Soul, another Dilla-produced group, was also mining). I think they were incredibly influential for an act that had really only one bona-fide "hit" and barely went gold once during their active career. P.S.: I'm pretty certain that the slang phrase "low key" is invented here (it's 1995, BTW). "Amani, Booty Brown Fatlip and Slimkid Tre/ we do it this way, we do it this way."

Maybe instead of looking for someone with the same niche musical taste and passion for arthouse cinema, you should find someone who is kind to you and doesn’t know who Dasha Nekrasova is

If my heart yearns for you, I am going to like literally everything you post on your story because I have no shame. If you start liking mine back, we are dating now. I don’t make the rules. This is the modern version of courting the unmarried sons and daughters of nobles, asking them to waltz with you and trying to win the approval of their father.

The French intuitively know this, but we Americans are so prudish. I’m a straight man, but if women are asked to be naked on camera then it’s only fair to show the male actors cock and balls, accentuated by the subtle moonlight streaming through the window, as if it was a Caravaggio painting.
