Mama, I’m a Millionaire, but I feel like a bum.

REALLY coming around on Tasty; at first I thought the single suffered for the album, but now I’ve realized it’s the other way around: “Milkshake” is not that strong a track, a good little mantra with a beat made better on garage mixes (check for DJ Zinc’s), but essentially meatless. Raphael Saadiq slays on Glow, Damon Blackmon “Grease” slays on “Stick Up” (takes an idea from R. Kelly/Choco Factory and makes it far less precious) and everybody slays on the satisfying dreamy funk of “Millionare” (see this entry’s title). And on the choruses of “Rolling” and “Protect My Heart,” Kelis is totally Donald Fagen-ing out. Pharrell and Chad, YOU LOVE STEELY DAN!
