The Look of Love pt. 1 - J88 (Slum Village)

this past year, i started hooking up my walkman (yes, the tape kind, kids)
to my stereo
which means i have access to mixtapes that are at the very least,
a decade old
funny
my best relationships started with a mixtape
(some of you may even have a Pudding Pop Productions Presents somewhere in a drawer)
and i still have them all
the mixtapes, that is

i can package up my best heartbreak into this one song
one that trips me up every once in awhile
surprising that it's a hip-hop song, in a way
it's who the song ties me back to that makes sense
the song i fell in love with him to cuz well, what is the look of - it's got something to do with ummm?

the best downtempo jazzy break runs through the entirety of the song
screw the lyrics - they're misogynistic
but you know the look of...
