Big Boi ft Janelle Monae - Be Still

Here's some controversy to spice up Monday morning: rap interludes might not be that bad after all. I have been staunchly opposed to them. And in the interests of preserving what little integrity I have left, I would argue that this is about 30% soul, 20% Motown swing and 50% hip-hop.

So it's a fair mix, rather than just an embarrassing cameo by some rapper who should know better. Also, it's got Janelle Monae on the intro, and her voice melts my little hard heart, so by the time Big Boi starts trying to rhyme "orange" with, um, "urr-ange", I'm already in a little ecstasy of aural bliss.
