Love A Little Candy Girl

Raekwon w/ Method Man & Cappadonna “Ice Cream Part 2” – This must be the Empire Strikes Back of hip hop sequels; it blows the original from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx out of the water, which obviously isn’t the easiest thing to do. Oh my god! That chimey part! That bassline! It’s perfect! This is from the brand-new Lex Diamond Story LP, but unfortunately there’s nothing else on the record which is quite like this.

Missy Elliott “Pass That Dutch (Pistol Pete mix)” – This is a Fluxblog Exclusive! This track appears courtesy of the remixer, and it’s pretty damn amazing. It’s a major improvement over the original, which I find to be a little shapeless and dull. This version is far more dynamic and danceable, and Missy’s lyrics sound much better over this faster beat.

Also: The only year-end list of records that you ever need is out today (Sorry, P&J fans!) – The Onion A/V Club Least Essential Albums Of 2003.
