“St. Tropez”

It would be negligent of me to not mention that the Rufus and Chaka Khan sample that is infused in “St. Tropez” is more than likely one of the sample clearances that Cole gripes about in the shoutouts of “Note to Self.” That same old-school flavor infiltrates the hook, separating the emotion filled verses delivered by Cole. The welcome to Hollywood payday turns into “it’s been hard for me to smile.” I wonder how it feels to be back in the Ville?
