Hell yeah! That song is so damn beautiful--the music and the lyrics. It's my favorite on the album and of everything he's ever recorded. The first verse just blows me away.

The Root -of course the layered ending.

One Mo'gin -bass line in the beginning. So fuckin sexy.

Spanish Joint -the horns. Love when he says "don't look back. handle that."

Greatday... -love when he says "gotta tighten up." on that part I always raise both of my fists up to my chest and shake them once. Even if I'm driving. I don't know why.

Chicken Grease -the end when he keeps repeating "I know the shit if funky cause I see the way you move your soul." I didn't know that's what he was saying until I saw the live version on All That. This song reminds me of Teddy Pendergrass' "Get Up, Get Down." They don't sound alike, but they give off the same vibe.

Playa Playa- the music is just so damn funky.

I could go on forever, but I won't. sorry couldn't just name one thing. that's impossible.
