I think Sunshine is a decent song with a classic hip-hop sample. It gets a bad rep because it has one of the worst videos of all time
But I find "I Know What Girls Like" and "City is Mine" awful. Rest of the album is dope with right blend of gutter and commercial

I know what girls like is probably Jay's worst song ever. It's awful

Can't even think of any lines from it because I can't get past the beat

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

the drums on I Know What Girls Like though

 

[BlackMagnus514]

I Know What Girls Like made this album not be a classic....i know what he was doing trying by recording Sunshine....this album was probably his most underrated

 

[African Peasant]

Very good album, with some errors (due to the involvement of Diddy ?).

The flow on it >>>>>

Jay was done after BP.

 

[Perfectson]

i don't care what anyone else says, Sunshine was my joint - main reason why I copped Volume 1

 

[beenz]

the drums on I Know What Girls Like though
