FabolousвЂ™ choppy flow matches up so nicely with the start-and-stop guitar parts from вЂњNeed You Tonight.вЂќ The combination is so seamless that its almost like INXS knew that someone would come a long and put that together for them.Дў:44 into вЂњThatвЂ™s RightвЂќ BeyoncГ© - вЂњSingle Ladies (Put a Ring on It)вЂќ & M.O.P. ItвЂ™s a shame that these two werenвЂ™t put together since their origin.
