music video: for estelle’s new song “wait a minute (just a touch)”. estelle’s easy rhymes about ghetto life in london on her collaboration with ben watt on “pop a cap in yo’ ass” was the best thing about buzzin’ fly vol. 2. good to see her get some wider exposure for her MC/vocal skills via john legend’s new label.
