Sex With Me *-Questlove: "When I first heard this, I was sure that the James of the title was James Poyser, one of the Roots, and I was all bent out of shape. How could he have worked on it without me? Turned out not to be him. I'll hold that story until later. But the song stuck with me. It's a masterpiece at a short length. Rihanna packed a whole narrative into two minutes of less. It's not easy to do. For me, the king of that kind of thing is Prince's "Sister," which fits an entire movie's worth of plot into a minute and a half."
