    "comment": "Sampling The Isley Brothers' wonderful cover of the Todd Rundgren original...\n---\n\"The song operates on so many different joy centers simultaneously: 1) It opens with André clearing his throat with \"Ok, challenge,\" evoking memories of his glorious faux-bashful turn on \"International Player's Anthem\"; 2) It reunites a couple that has maintained a public dialogue for years (\"The best thing about my ex André 3000 is that his checks never bounce,\" she told US Weekly wryly); 3) It joins them in an Isley Bros. cover that is also a cover of Todd Rundgren’s \"Hello, It’s Me\", a luxurious sunbeam of a ballad in any form.\": https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/17849-erykah-badu-hello-ft-andre-3000-the-isley-brothers-cover/",
