aaliyah - 'i refuse'

usually whenever babygirl brings the drawn out long/short verse style it sounds like a sophisticated take on quiet kelis but for some reason this reminds me of that one brilliant song on the second funk flex mix where mary j blige freestyles over the "survival of the fittest" beat! i have a suspicion this is because the "rock the boat" guy's production is basically just "no more drama" (only without the eternal shame of tv show theme beatjacking that camron has to carry on his frightening shoulders ha ha)
