...Denver All-Star Game (in 2005) because they weren't hip-hop. I'm waiting to be criticized for having Branford Marsalis and Harry Connick Jr. as half-time entertainment [at the 2008 All-Star game] in New Orleans because it wasn't hip enough. We go with the flow, and do not have a hip-hop agenda...
...kung fu became a dance, graceful and delicate despite the members’ giant swords and other weaponry.

Instead...
...club single with a heavy beat and a dark, slinky analog bass. We don’t hear much of Jackson on this track, as her vocals have been multitracked and processed into little more than a synthesizer melody. Production takes center stage, showcasing the talents of renowned hip-hop and R&B producers Rodney Jerkins and D’Mile. Stereo effects abound, and every open space has been filled with a breathy “sexy sexy sexy” or “wooh.” With lines such as “Got you feeling...
