the faithful will be rewarded. not by a brilliant piece of writing from yours truly. rather, because i am pointing you in the direction of lil' kim's "the jump off" which is what the kids 'round my way call a heater. a club banger produced by timbaland, it's an encapsulation of everything he's done on a missy record in the last three years. mr. cheeks is around to remind you that his former group once performed a song very similar in character to "the jump off." (and to remind us that, no, he hasn't reconsidered: his name is still "mr. cheeks.") so. i've pointed the way, and now it's up for you to find it. i recommend the 4:02 version.
