Beanie Sigel - Feel It in the Air (Video)

I think this song is awesome. I'm white, and therefore not cool enough to talk about this guy like I actually know anything, but I know the album The B. Coming is awesome. I guess it was recorded right before he knew he was gonna go to jail for a couple of years for some kinda attempted murder charges or something. So apparently the whole album is mostly about that, which is cool because the reason I like hip-hop is the stories, and the stories in these songs are awesome. He pretty much lays out his whole legal situation and everything surrounding it in his life over the course of the album.
This song especially amazes me. The whole feel of it, with the horns in the background and the background vocals create a really intense mood. This part;


" I know you cant, dont, wont get it
You niggas chose to ride that ship, sunk with it
Im still afloat, i aint tha captain of tha yacht but im on a boat
I aint actin what im not
Knowin that i dont, you niggas actin like you will but i know you wont, you wont
I read between tha lines of ya eyes to ya brows
Ya handshake aint matchin ya smile
Ill holla, you niggas foul"

...is awesome. So the video is kinda cool and goes with the song well, but the real reason I posted it and not just the song is because it's easier to do, and the girl singing the backing vocals is named Melissa Jimenez, and she is fucking beautiful and has a really beautiful voice as well. So, there ya go...
