    This is one of the great singles of the last 10 years in any genre. Impossible to sit still while you're listening to it.

    Wallace- One of my favorites off your White Folk CD.

    Main Line- I was wondering where they came up with that front row of talent.

    Bro- It looks like a vodka commercial. And Andre matches the his hat band to his bow tie. A bit below the salt if you ask me.

    I didn't say I was all in, I just said it was a raise.
    Besides, I think it was pepper, not salt.
