Amil had an album on Roc-A-Fella called All Money Is Legal, generally not as effective as her guest shots with Jay-Z but has interesting stuff. First track is an undisguised death wish ("Is it a blessing 2 live or a blessing 2 die?/Let me finish out this hell with no questions why"), best track is "Girlfriend," a nursery-style chant where she goes "See, I'm gon tell your girlfriend/That you been doin more than flirtin/Where you at when you say you're workin/Yeah I'm gon tell your girlfriend." Most adventurous is "Get Down," which builds itself around a sample of Ivan Julian's twisting/jittering guitar intro to Richard Hell's "Blank Generation."
