As we all know, fellas hoping to impress a girl often find themselves Doin Thangs that, under normal circumstances, they would never even consider. You know, thangs like ironing their shirts, or scrubbing the toilet bowl to a pearly sheen. On the latest leak off his relationship-themed RESPECT Pt. 2 (Womens), Little Rock rapper Epiphany gives ladies a little insight into the male psyche, and fellas an amusing look in the mirror, describing the countless superficial changes men will make for a woman. Booth favorite K. Sparks is less willing to switch up his routine; in his guest verse, the Queens native protests, “I’m like a million-dollar bill / you can never change me.,” but ultimately relents for the simple reason that, “If you don’t do it there’s no p-u-double-s-y.” Backed by the soul-sampled boardwork of Bossman (not the emcee last featured with You Already Know), this track should get readers even more excited for the insights Epiphany will offer on his new, DJBooth.net-sponsored street album, due out March 9. In the meantime, those who haven’t already can download a copy of Respect Part 1, also presented by the Booth, here.

bad engineering which is expected from a independent artist...flow is ok...make lucifer repent, heard it before...the sample could have been better produced, but its not bad...k. sparks does it again...he did better than dude on his own track, he is now known to do that if you can't keep up with k. sparks don't put him on your track, but dude kind of kept up...don't have a hook but it doesn't need one...bad ending...this is ok could have been better

Love the old school sample used here. The throwback feel is refreshing in a "I've heard this before, but I liked it back then too" way. Know what I mean? It might just be me.

Sparks is as solid a bet for a guest verse as Ludacris. Unlike Weezy, I've never heard him turn in a weak 16.

Spark's 16 makes this rotation worthy alone. If only Epiphany could match his energy or lyrical talent. I know I'm asking alot.

K. Sparks easily killed this. The sould sample in the hook really made the song dope and gave a fresh feel to it. Epiphany was alright but would of shined more if K. would of been off the song. But then the song wouldn't of been as good. Kind of weird how that is. Also the ending feels uncomplete or rushed.

Anything with a soul sample usually gets my stamp but they don't let it come through enough, especially on the hook; if I only heard this from Epiphany it wouldn't make the best impression but Sparks contributes nicely

Any man who says "I don't do anything new for a girl" clearly doesn't have a long term girl. Props to Epiphany for making a track real folks can relate to, and for making it sounds so damn good.

K. Sparks could have done this track on his own, he's one of those artists that don't need help on a track, waddya call that again....talented?

I don't know what y'all listening, Epiphany holds his own on the mic and doesn’t get shined on by K.Sparks. Hook although good did leave something to be desired for more. Still, Rotation fa sho!
