The Gett Off maxi single is one of the top maxi's he's ever released...right up there with "Space."

AHHH! The music video..

So there is this one part that I might have a habit of always rewinding and watching.... 'maybe' sometimes putting it in slow motion. haha
Its at this part:::
I took all the pictures you gave me,
and I placed them right under my bed
and I pumped and I pumped
'til the 'gasm much as jumped


Just what he does on that bed. Its almost as good as the "Oh My God" in the video of Gett Off

Whaaaaat?!

It's one thing if for some reason you don't like "Space" - everybody's got their something. But to act like it's common knowledge that this song "stinks" is fuckin' Ludacris.

Space is his best single of the 90s, EASY, in my opinion. Gorgeous fucking song and spectacular remix EP. Ah, the old days...

With every other flick of the pink plush, the closer we get to the space...

If you can't see the beauty in at least the acoustic version of "Space," well... I worry that you've been a part of a research study similar to this http://www.michigan.gov/m...--,00.html
