    was i wrong about Vimothy?

    That was an unseemly thing to write, and something that ought to have got you temp-banned. At the very least, I think an apology is in order. Vimothy is one of few contrarians on this forum, and for that I salute him.

    New Snoop Dogg: Sensual Seduction

    Didn’t some Ludacris song from a year ago or so sample Benny Benassi? I really like the Usher song, btw. Not sure about the first 2 minutes, but as Swears points out, the jittery stop-start thing at the end is terrific. EDIT: It was Ludacris & Field Mob’s ‘Ultimate Satisfaction’
