I generally don't like this style of stuff at all, but I dig this.
However, I hate when they pitch samples up and down like on this song; that's a pet peeve of mine. The strings are so out of tune with the guitar hits (when the strings come in at 1:57 they clash with the guitar chord sample; lasts for like 10 seconds---annoys the fuck out of me). Perhaps it was intentional, but it all goes back to my pet peeve of just shifting sampled guitar chords up and down.
The drums are really cool though, but it's a really commonly sampled Meters break. Everyone uses this one.
My favorite moment: that one time in the song when Amerie's vocal is double the octave below with some sort of pitch shifter effect (the line at 1:49, that cool pitch shifting double---and it only happens once in the song; that's really cool).
The production on her voice is great; there are some nice doublings and stereo layouts.

Indeed. Clasic!
Here's an old school Meters rap break tune:

It's weird, it's like it's single-handedly reminded me how to feel certain rhythms I have been feeling much for a while, or feeling like feeling.
It is a little retro though in a way, no?

was 'man up' on the american version of the album? it's listed as a bonus track on my copy and is probably my favourite non-single.

Also, I am amazed that I'm not annoyed by the breathy spoken part near the end of the song. It could have been just some sex kitten sort of thing, but it comes off more like there's really a subject behind it, with an inner life.
