show me where your friends at

So Thursday night I was tired and a little stressed and really couldn't find a way to write anything of worth for this week's Stylus, but I wish I'd been able to make just one contribution. Because I just knew, knew, that this week's best single would not get the respect it deserves, that is to say TEN out of TEN.

The Game - 'Put You On The Game'

Timbaland - laughing at the fact he never fell off and the Neptunes did - brings the crazy noise shit, a massive bumping grind reminiscent of both RZA's Ghost Dog soundtrack and his beloved Black Dice. The Game brings the heat. Do you think he really means he wants a woman with a big back, rather than that being a shorthand euphemism? Because y'know, broad shoulders, I totally see the appeal.
