And let's see what's on the radio right now.
Hurricane Chris - A Bay Bay
Really, I'm all for lyrical economy.  But three years into the  L'il Jon era I'm getting a tad nostalgic for hip hop songs with more than seven words, total.  This is almost like "generic" rap, from the Dre style TWEE-eee-eee-eee sounding keyboard fill to the lyrics, which feel like rap bingo.  A - 7 Chains!  B - 7  Strippers!  C-14 In DA CLUB!
Bingo motherfuckers!  Just Got A Cadillac!
The best part is the background rapper who repeats A BAY BAY after the lead hurricane and sounds kinda like the Arnold from Different Strokes, which increases this tune's awesomeness factor by, like, 17.  
I also kind of dig the ending where there's a bunch of cheering when the song's over.  I can relate.  
Justin Timberlake - My Love
Y'know, if you were a tweenypop star and you were setting out to prove that your all grown up by talking about booties and sex and saying "motherfucker" 'n stuff...  You should probably get a guest rapper with a little more street cred than than the Pilsbury Doughboy.
Just sayin'.
