I've always felt the complete opposite. I love ODB's rap and all, but the song is NOT the same without the "Genius of Love" sample. Diddy just erased it completely.
I'm still dead at the E=MC2 singles choices. Like, what even.
If only the single order had been Touch My Body (Feb)/LBLULT (May)/Migrate (August)/a ballad (Nov)/For the Record (Feb). Ugh. Bye Bye ruined EVERYTHING.
I was a girl, you was a man
I was too young to understand
I was naive, I just believed
Everything that you told me
Said you were strong,
Protectin' me
Then I found out that you were weak
Keepin' me there, under your thumb
Cause you were scared that I'd become much
More than you could handle,
Shining like a chandelier
That decorated every room inside
The private hell we built,
And I dealt with it
Like a kid I wished I could fly away
But instead, I kept my tears inside
Cause I knew if I started I'd keep crying
For the rest of my life with you
I finally built up the strength to walk away
Don't regret it but I still live with the side effects
I'm depressed that I can't give this the 10 that it deserves.

The only highlight of the "Heartbreaker" remix was Da Brat shouting "GUESS WHO'S BACK IN DA MOTHAFAWKIN HOUSE WIT TWO BIG TIG OL BITTIES FOR YO MOUF".
I don't really care for that one, but "My All/Stay Awhile", "Always Be My Baby" Mr. Dupri Mix, and "I Still Believe(Pure Imagination)" are some of her best.
