this song still sounds just as great as it did when i first heard it 7 years ago. i remember the first time i played "what a job" for my cousin and he couldn't believe his ears. he must've listened to it 10 times before lettin' the cd play the next song.

this is one of those songs that has everything it takes to make a classic song. well written verses, catchy hook and great beat :salute:

Great fukking song. Devin, Snoop, and 3k was a perfect combination. What's the story behind Andre's verse? Did he run into this couple at the gas station on the way to the studio or something? :bryan:

yeah, accordin' to his verse in the song it was a couple who admired his work and they go into how long they've been listenin' to him. after a while andre tells them he has to go to the studio and they ask him if he can mention them in his verse and he says he doesn't see why not and proceeds too as he closes his verse. :obama:

huge fan & was also disappointed in that album. aside from that track, this other joint was easily my favorite -



he definitely made up for it the year after with Landing Gear though.

Devin always had a ear for good beats. This one goes hard. You know Kurupt and R Kelly got this jam on repeat in the ride cruising high school parking lots and shyt :lolbron:
