...song of early 1998. A conversation with a selfish lover who's more interested in hanging out with his buddies (including the aforementioned Tyrone) than Badu, the track takes Mary J. Blige's "Not Gonna Cry" to a subtle, more soulful level. Coincidentally, the song's refrain borrows Angela Bassett's immortal "get yo' shit" line in Waiting to Exhale.

Growing up, Angela Lee had her father's rule of thumb: if a doctor, cure cancer; if a businesswoman, be CEO of a FORTUNE 500 company. After her Harvard graduation, Lee went to Oxford and then was scooped up by McKinsey & Co., the topflight consulting firm. She loved the wardrobe, the dinners...
