Fuckery.

I recently found out that one of my absolutely favorite Amy Winehouse songs was inspired by Mr. Illmatic himself Nas. If you have heard her sultry jazz infused throwback track "Me and Mr. Jones", she makes references like "Mr Destiny 9 and 14' which was their shared birthday (September 14th) and Destiny is Nas' daughter's name.

 It wasn't until recently Nas confirmed that he was the inspiration:

" Don’t really remember if Salaam, who was really close to her, who introduced us, if he told me about it or not,” Nas told XXL. “I don’t remember right now. But, I heard a lot about it before I even heard the song.”

This song will go down as a classic in my eyes. Her strong, passionate vocals sounded like she really loved her some Nas, and you can't forget that this song did start the "Fuckery" term that we ALL love so much. We miss you Amy!

Me and Mr. Jones

Nobody stands in between me and my man, it’s me

And Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones)

What kind of f*ckery is this?

You made me miss the Slick Rick gig (oh Slick Rick)

You thought I didn’t love you when I did (when I did)

Can’t believe you played me out like that (Ahhh)

No you ain’t worth guest list

Plus one of all them girls you kiss (all them girls)

You can’t keep lying to yourself like this (to yourself)

Can’t believe you played yourself (out) like this

Rulers one thing but come Brixton

Nobody stands in between me and my man

‘Cause it’s me and Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones)

What kind of f*ckery are we?

Nowadays you don’t mean d*ck to me (d*ck to me)

I might let you make it up to me (make it up)

Who’s playing Saturday?

What kind of f*ckery are you?

Side from Sammy you’re my best black Jew

But I could swear that we were through (we were through)

I still want to wonder ’bout the things you do

Mr Destiny 9 and 14

Nobody stands in between me and my man

‘Cause it’s Me and Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones)
