(That's the Lex speaking)

1. Do we? Or "Do you?" I should say, since we're a loose clumping of individuals innit.

2. GO ON THEN! What's the best hip-hop you've heard this year?

Oh man there is still loads on that list I never heard.

Never understood the general preference for 'You' over 'Get It Shawty'! I really should've checked Lloyd's album this year though.

There are remixes of 'Gimme More' by TI and Lil' Kim. Kim's starts "it's Britney, bitch...AND LIL' KIM, HO!!!!" and Kim overdubs the chorus with "Kimmie, Kimmie mo', Kimmie, Kimmie mo'". Profoundly satisfying.

General preference? Of the 3 ppl I know who've expressed one, you and I like "Shawty" best and Frank likes "You" - I am eagerly awaiting others weighing in!

I'm sure I've seen 'You' praised a lot more than 'Shawty'! Maybe it was on ilm back when I checked it.
