Mark Imperial & Co. - She Ain't Nuthin' But A Hoe

This is classic Chicago acid house in its truest form. It has perhaps one of the most memorable basslines of the style, and a distinct chopped vocal sample. The theme of the track is about what you'd expect... calling a ladyfriend a hoe for dancing with another man! Obviously that doesn't go over on all dancefloors, but it's the musical content that counts. The variation of the bassline -- as well as the contrast between breakdown and buildup points -- work to give the tracks a nice progression. At the same time, the sound is quite minimal and never too squelchy or ostentatious. Also unique is the lack of dependence on offbeat high hats - instead there's more of a raw "hissing" in a staggered pattern. This is in my opinion one of the best Chicago acid house tracks, and it definitely shouldn't be overlooked.
