+fat joe's face
+the liner notes to r. kelly's "double up," which involve him writing to one of his daughters "i'm so proud you are doing good in school" and "you dance just like your mama"
+how alicia keys seems incapable of hitting any notes comfortably in "no one" (it is my contention that the song should have been written for mariah carey)
+the idea of the dream having sex (gross!)
+ray j having a viable single
+t.i. going to jail (again), even though in his movie "ATL" he tries to keep his lil brother off the streets (i trusted you!)

Usher feat. Young Jeezy + Love In This Club

SHEEEEIT. This song is so good. This song makes me want to kill myself it is so good. This beat is like m83 mixed with Timbaland mixed with New Order. Everything about this is white-hot epic: the cheeze 80's synth, that cascading piano riff, JEEZY ("It’s going down on aisle 3, I’ll bag you like some groceries")...welcome to the "My Love" of 2008. I am so fucking amped to listen to this song a thousand times more this week. I hope you are too.
