An Ode to IceJJFish's "No Topping"

Your boy IceJJFish just dropped the romantic anthem of 2014. It's beautiful, strange, and features a video that pays homage to D'Angelo. "No Topping" is everything the world needs right now. Here is a series of thoughts I had regarding its brilliance.

—I'm pretty sure there are four D'Angelo songs be played simultaneously to create "No Topping," making this some kind of wild Eastern music/Jazz/R&B shit. That said, these futuresexlovesounds are really starting the year off right.

—Ladies, when your friend's friend asks you to be in a video, because he "manages" an "artist"; make sure you check out dude's Soundcloud first. If you don't, you run the risk of ending up making your film debut playing the role of "girl who palpably regrets her participation in this video #1."

—The falsetto at 1:54 is really adventurous. Also, really heartfelt. "When I'm with you, I wan't to go everywhere/I found out that you're not wearing underwear." That's real shit. Really captures the emotional content of the moment you realize realize your girl is not wearing underwear in public, and pussy is an inevitability. That moment will have the single tear drop forming on your cheek; leave you like, "Why must I cry?"

—Y'all din't think Lil B was gonna be the most influential artist of the 21st century did you? Wrong, nerds.

—Old heads and crate diggers might hear a lil bit of an old group called Twilight in IceJJFish. They had some "questionable" usages of melody too. Your dad mighta got wet listening to these dudes in like '86. Somebody gonna get wet top to "No Topping" tonight. Everything is everything.

—The words "body" and "party" are used a combined ten times in this song, which seem a lil much when Ciara's "Body Party" only used the phrase seven times.

—The line "Meet me in the lobby, once we get to the lobby / We gon' get high like Bob Marley" is spectacular. Of note, at some point in 1975 Vogue editor-in-chief (and Jay-Z pal) Anna Wintour ran away with Bob Marley for a week of "body parties." Not sure if IceJJFish is making a subtle nod to that. I'm gonna assume so.

—Did my dude say "I eat pussy like Rosati's"? Like, the pizza chain in Chicago?

—If Kellz sung this shit, broads would be catching D to it in a new episode of Girls right?

—There's an amazing jingle to be made from this song for cheese pizzas with no toppings. Who's gonna be brave enough to mine that gold? Rosati's urban marketing department, ball's in your court.

—I listened to this song 8 times in a row. There's something to be said for that.
