    Who did the beat on this? That flip of I Zimbra is fucking INSANE.

    EDIT: The shitty sawtooth "dubstep" drops completely fucking ruin it, though. It's like that single they had out a few years ago, Harder Than You Think - there'll be a really interesting or creative sample choice, then they go and undermine it with some bullshit that sucks all the power and momentum out of the track.

    "Get It In" is pretty hot though. Freddie Foxxx's voice fits in really well with Chuck's.

    I thought the production was really sloppy. The beat sounded half-finished. Tighter drums and a bit more work, and it would have been an anthem. For me, it kind of typifies the way so many late-period PE records have fallen frustratingly short on a musical level. I guess that's the problem with setting such high standards for yourself.

    aw man, i dont know. i love that track. the drums hardly even matter...the horns are sick, i like the guitar interlude. this was actually the first PE song in a looong time that i was feeling, cause usually i agree fully with you. but this shit has pretty much been an anthem for me

    I know, I feel like a dick for even splitting hairs over it. Matter of fact, the drums on the sample (0'09'') are kind of busy, so maybe that was as tight as they could have got it anyway.




    Fuck it, it's PE. They're allowed to make a shonky record or two.

    I'm pretty sure it was Gary G-Wiz. I like it, except for the dubstep shit you were talking about.

    doc, heres a better clip of the bassey joint with the intro


    i guess they could have beefed up the drums or something, but the track is real tight to me.
