The album Duets: The Final Chapter was released on December 20, 2005. The tracks are a mixture of archived flow from Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie) and current day artists. The album is 100% collaboration. One track, "Nasty Girl", has Biggie saying "Fingers in your mouth, open up your blouse, pull your g-string down south, Owww."

Biggie died on March 9, 1997.

On December 4, 2001 Fat Joe released his album Jealous Ones Still Envy.

Fat Joe's album features a song called "We Thuggin'" with R.Kelly in which he says "Like no doubt, pokin doll out, pull ya g-string down south. Owww!"

So where did the "pull ya g-string down south" originate? I am not trying to insinuate a flaw in the conspiracy of Biggie's death. I don't really believe he is living on an island with Tupac somewhere. I am just saying that whatever tracks Biggie laid down were all prior to 1997 and when a song is released in 2001 with the same lyrics as an unreleased Biggie line something is fishy. Unless of course Biggie borrowed the lyric from someone else and the good people at Google are too bogged down with "Nasty Girl" lyric sites to help me out.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me, please?

Singles from the band's 2002 album Make Up The Breakdown including, but not limited to, Oh Goddamnit and Bandages prompted me to seek out Elevator. This album signals the major-label debut for this rock quartet from Vancouver, B.C..

I like the album a lot. Vocalist Steve Bays has a unique sound that I feel is lacking in many areas of music today. Much of what I stumble upon recently sounds the same; it is nice to know I can turn on Hot Hot Heat to escape the monotony. My favorite tracks on Elevator are Running Out of Time, Goodnight Goodnight, You Owe Me An IOU and Middle of Nowhere.

My only complaint with the album is that it is very short.
