...Dirt McGirt / live and uncut,” and for a moment, it’s convincing. The pastiche of banged-out piano lines, children chanting, and sirens wailing is the type of track that brings out the best in ODB, and Missy Elliott arrives halfway through the tune to prove that she’s that rare girl who can out-dirty Ol’ Dirty. But the hope of musical resurrection ends with this track: it’s mediocrity from here on out. The Wu-Tang influence is strong: five of the Clan’s nine...

The woman is smart and successful, she has a great job, she meets a man at work, they fall in love, then they get naked and live happily ever after. The sex scene is three pages, more than halfway through the 220-page book. Nothing is extremely explicit; it's filled with euphemisms like "her warmth" and the last line is "then he took them over...
