Here Come The Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls!

Nice little re-edit by DJ Andy Smith of Portishead fame taking the funk/soul classic Here Come The Girls by Ernie K Doe and sprinkling it with a little bit of Jay-Z's Girls, Girls, Girls. Winner.

You Can't Have Your Donut and Eat It Too

Things are going great, you've found that special someone and you're madly in love but then snap! you're forced to move away for one reason or another. You agree to hold out for each other but as time passes by things don't go to plan and the person waiting for you moves on with their life by hooking up with someone else even though you've kept your part of the bargain, ouch! and to make matters worse they say they're still in love with you!

This Sylvers tune from 1972 tells a similar tale with the outcome being that only one can win your love and as a result the heartbreaker must choose between the two.

Late hip hop super producer J Dilla begs to differ with the Sylvers by sampling their tune and going with the Two Can Win title as featured on his Donuts album.

You, You Got What I Neeeeed!

Is there a better tale of heartbreak than Biz Markie's 'Just a Friend'? Few rappers do the story telling thing better than Biz and this is definitely one of his finest moments as he recounts the ordeal of his cheating girlfriend that he met on tour.

If you've ever had your heartbroken by some cheating bitch/scumbag you'll be able to relate and if you're lucky enough to have avoided any of that action or you yourself are the cheating bitch/scumbag i guess you can always just sing-a-long! 'Ohhh Baby...'

And as a bonus here is the original love themed joint that Biz sampled for the track.

Oh Snap!

Listen Up Toots I Like Your Looks...

It's a bloody hard task trying to find a love themed hip hop track that isn't super offensive towards all the females out there, but you can always count on the Fresh Prince to come correct with the kind of respect all the sexy ladies deserve. Good on you Will.
