Keepin' it street, keepin' it real, keepin' it thug...yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, as long as it sounds this confectionate, Trick Daddy, you can keep it however you want it. Here, Daddy latches on to a great Talking Heads melody and gets Cee-Lo (Goody Mob, Gnarls Barkley)--who's a better singer than David Byrne any day of the week--to sing it for him, and lets Lil' Kim and Ludicrous join in the fun, and though Trick Daddy may be a thug, he's got enough pop smarts about him to let Cee-Lo handle (or at least co-handle) production duties on this one, which--like Daddy's late '90s record "Take It to the House"--knows when it's found a gem of a tune and latches on to it, punching it up with some saccharine sound effects, sweet vocals, suggestive rapping, and an almost-late-but-just-barely-catching-the-two-and-the-four backbeatput that slithers and slinks, allowing Cee-Lo--the star of this record--to work his magic as producer and singer. Add another scoop to my coffee, anytime.
