But if you're looking for something that'll wake the neighbors, can't go wrong with this. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

the dj's take: The leadoff track in our world-renowned Formula 15 mix:



So I guess the premise of the song is that Drake is so good in bed he should be charging people for the privilege? Sounds like a perfect choice for the soundtrack of a Deuce Bigalow re-make:

the dj's take: The next-to-last track in our Formula 15 mix (10:37):



If this isn't in the rotation on a Top 40 night, you simply aren't doing your job as a dj. Or you've been living under a rock (which still doesn't excuse anything). Shelf life is debatable, although possibly infinite for the right kind of event:

the dj's take: Song #7 in our Episode 14 mix (16:37):



Probably the first (and last) time anyone will ever transition from Lorde straight into Nas. Yet another reason to subscribe.

As for the track itself, it's hard to overstate its status in the pantheon of hiphop disses. Some people believe Jay-Z cried in the aftermath. Worth a spin on a throwback night in NYC - the older folk will appreciate the knowledge.

And Song #1 in if you know, throw some d's:



And in case you forgot, the sample that started it all:



So old that I used to drop this at my Top 40 gig in '08. The emphatic hook should guarantee a lengthy shelf life; worth an occasional spin as a throwback.
