It! Must! Be the ass!

Okay, what the fuck is going on? There is a J Lo/Ja Rule record out and it's actually good? "Ain't it funny" has J Lo sounding like a real singer, and Ja Rule at least doesn't annoy. Plus he shouts: "It! Must! Be the ass!" which could be a phrase to live by.

Seriously though, commercial R&B is soooo hot just now. This, Blu Cantrell, Mystikal (pretty much R&B really), Timbaland, Neptunes are pretty much all I'm listening to just now. There's so much invention, genuinely good songs and plain ol' killer melodies and rhythms. I genuinely believe we're in the middle of a motown-style golden age for soul.

This makes me realise how little I listen to the charts these days (pipe, slippers and baseless "talentless pap" grumblings ahoy!) but intrigues me greatly. As you say, the chorus alone sells it.

Off to find it.

The first time I heard that song was last weekend in my mom's car, and my mom really liked it, she was saying how she really liked Ja Rule when he's with J Lo, and I made a comment about how they are better together than apart, cos Ja Rule is such a weak MC, and my mom didn't know what an MC was, so I had to explain that...
