Here I go, here I go, here I go again! Picked this up recently and can't stop listening to it - one of the strongest hip-hop albums I've ever heard, track-for-track, and virtually no filler...but which track has you open like 7-11?

only heard the singles, which are yoga flame for all time... though it's a sample, the guitar/organ loop on 'whatta man' is perfect

none of your business

Oh man Shoop is one of the best songs. <3 <3

Although Whatta man and none of your business are almost as amazing.

"Shoop" is awesome because it will make your girlfriend bump and grind all up on you.

Of course, "Shoop" is also dangerous because it will make your gay friends bump and grind all up on you, but that's mostly harmless.

"Shoop"

Love that Xgau put "I've Got AIDS" with "Shoop" and "Whatta Man" as his recommended tracks in his review.

Shoop makes my relatives, alsatians and geriatric strangers bump and grind all up on me

it's basically the frottage anthem

^ needs to be put in a mash-up with the macgruber love scene once it's on DVD

― da croupier, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 14:29 (fifteen years ago)

sexy noises is the worst song

― L-ZD Drownsystem (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 14:34 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah, it's probably the closest thing to a dud on this for me.

This album is sequenced really oddly in that all the singles are clustered together in the middle, which puts a lot of faith in the album tracks to keep up the momentum. Most of them do but when you hit a rough patch you suddenly feel very far from home.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

yeah, og is great. didn't know it was a stax release tho. always assumed it was a jb-connected type thing.

yeah it's on this 2CD comp - Stax 50th Anniversary -- i got -- 2CDs of straight fire!

awesome coincidence, is the very next song on the comp was "Private Number" by William Bell and Judy Clay -- the origin of one of my favorite loops of all time (another one I didn't know the origin of)..."Playa's Club" by Rappin' 4-Tay!
